BOY ERASED NEWS
I'm passing on a couple of things I ran across over the weekend about Joel Edgerton's Boy Erased which opened in limited release this past weekend.
The first item is from Indiewire's Kate Erbland who posted this interview with the film's star Lucas Hedges.
The other is an article from The Advocate that features half a dozen new posters for the film that debuted in The Advocate and are designed to highlight specific groups working to end conversion therapy.
I've included a couple of the new posters here:
THE STORY OF PETERLOO
Time.com published an online article from Ciara Nugent on Friday that reviews the actual incidents depicted in Mike Leigh's TFF #45 film Peterloo. The actual events including the massacre occurred in August of 1819 in Manchester, England.
Peterloo will open in the U.S. on April 5, 2019. It's opened in the U.K. this past weekend.
MORGAN NEVILLE TALKS WELLES
Netflix has released the final film from Orson Welles. The Other Side of the Wind, which played at Telluride a couple of months back was available to stream as of last Friday. Also available was the accompanying documentary from Oscar winner Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet from Stardom). They'll Love Me When I'm Dead explores the project of finally finishing Welles' last film and is also available to stream on Netflix.
Jordan Ruimy conducted an interview with Neville for The Playlist which appeared on that site on Friday. It is linked here.
Indiewire presented its second annual Indiewire Honors last Thursday. Eight film makers were honored including writer/director/producer Alfonso Cuaron. Cuaron received Indiewire's Vanguard Award.
Indiewire;s Eric Kohn wrote the story which included comments from Cuaron about Roma which was a huge success at Telluride after winning the Golden Lion at Venice.
Roma is now considered a strong Oscar contender and, at least at this point, is positioned as the film with the best chance to continue Telluride's crazy streak of having screened the last eight and nine of the last ten winners of the Oscar for Best Picture.
The Cuaron article is linked here.
That's the MTFB for this Monday. I'll have more for you on Thursday including an Oscar prediction update on the Leading Acting races.
