THE DISTRIBUTORS 2019: LIONSGATE-ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS
Lionsgate and affiliated film company Roadside Attractions have a solid appearance history with the Telluride Film Festival.
Lionsgate at Telluride:
2017: Hostiles
2016: La La Land
2013: All Is Lost
Roadside Attractions was repped at T-ride as follows over the past few years:
2018: Trial by Fire
2016: Manchester by the Sea
2014: '71, Mommy, The Homesman
2013: All is Lost, Gloria
2012: Stories We Tell
2011: Albert Nobbs
2010: Biutiful
Between the two affiliated distributors is an average of about one film each year. 1.2 films per year to be exact.
For 2019, between the firms, there seem to be two possibilities.
One is the Judy Garland biopic starring Renee Zellweger and directed by Rupert Goold. The other is the Jay Roach directed, John Lithgow starring film about Roger Ailes and the working environment at Fox News. The film also stars Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie and is due in theaters on Dec. 20th
I'd put the Telluride chances for both of these films at 40%.
SORRY WE MISSED YOU TRAILER
We have a trailer for Ken Loach's social drama Sorry We Missed You. he film played at Cannes to moderately good critical response. It's still unacquired for U.S. distribution and as such is not yet dated for release in the United States.
Here' the trailer for the film via YouTube:
I've linked an article about the film and its trailer debut from Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net here.
PAIN AND GLORY TRAILER
Another Cannes success has a new trailer for the UK. Pedro Almodovar's Pain and Glory which features Cannes Best Actor winner Antonio Banderas. Penelope Cruz also stars in the film.Almodovar's semi-autobiographical film is under the auspices of Sony Pictures Classics and is set for U.S. release on Oct. 4th.
Could Pain and Glory be Almodovar's return to TFF?
Here's the trailer via YouTube.
That's the MTFB for the week. Come back next Monday for more.
