BEANPOLE BACK IN?
If you've been reading this space closely the last few days, you know that there has been some confusion concerning whether either Beanpole or The Truth might play Telluride after both films were listed as North American premieres last week in an announcement of films for the Toronto International Film Fest.
I'd had Beanpole as fairly certain for TFF #46 as a result of its status as "New York" premieres in the NYFF announcement of their lineup back on Aug. 8th.
Now Jeff Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere says Beanpole is in for Telluride after all. Here's a screenshot from his site that he posted last night:
So...Beanpole goes back on the Bonus Bets list on Friday and I am still thinking The Truth has a real shot to be at TFF #46 after it opens the Venice Fest next week.
MOTHERLESS BLITZ IS ON
I'm morally certain that Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn will screen in Telluride next week. The film is known to be set to screen at Toronto (where it is listed as an International Premiere) and New York. Clearly as a run up to what will be its first public screening at TFF #46, the film was all over the P.R. trail yesterday.
Katey rich writing for Vanity Fair talked to director/screen writer and star of the film Edward Norton. That article was posted yesterday by VF and you can find it linked here. Included in that article are the first looks of the period set film that IMDb lists as a Crime/Drama.
The IMDb logline tells us that the film focuses on a private detective who has Tourette's Syndrome and is striving to solve the murder of his partner. Also starring in the film are Willem Dafoe, Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis and Leslie Mann.
Both The Playlist and Indiewire piggy-backed on the Vanity Fair story (as I'm doing). You can find their added reportage linked here:
In addition to the photo above, VF also included these stills from the film:
Motherless Brooklyn is set to be released on Nov. 1st.
VARDA HAS A DATE
Janus Pictures has acquired the U.S. rights to distribute the final film of Agnes Varda's career-Varda by Agnes- and have announced that the film...which will be playing Telluride (he says authoritatively-based on its status for the New York Film Fest as a "New York" premiere)...will open in the U.S. on Nov. 22nd in New York. The film will then expand nationally in the following weeks.
Janus also announced that a massive retrospective of Varda's career will be launched at Lincoln Center in NYC on Dec. 20th.
Coverage of the date announcement was provided yesterday from The Hollywood Reporter and The Playlist.
IMDB REVEALS...
Yesterday an eagle eyed follower of MTFB pointed out to me that some films have a Telluride date included in there IMDb release date profile. The initial discovery was on IMDb Pro but after some skulking about, I found that it was also discernible on the more easily accessed IMDb website.
The specific film that the reader was pointing to was Ford v. Ferrari. I was able to find the same TFF conformation for Marriage Story, The Two Popes and Uncut Gems.
I also ran through every film that I have currently in the latest Ten Bets and Bonus Bets but only these four came up with Telluride listed in their release plans.
Suffice it to say that I'll keep going back to this source over the next few days to find out if it will reveal any more TFF #46 information.
