DEADLINE'S MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS OF 2021 (with an emphasis on film festivals)
Andreas Wiseman and Tom Grater have curated a list of films thought to be likely to be released during the 2021 calendar year with particular emphasis on what might be probable/possible fare for film festivals. With Sundance already having released their lineup, these films are those that are most likely to be named for whatever form of fest that will exist for Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto and, of course Telluride.
I have glanced through the list and come up with a Telluride possible list (some of which is also wishful thinking/hopes and dreams). They are:
Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog (Netflix)
Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth (A24)
Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Big Bug (Netflix)
Ari Folman's Where Is Anne Frank?
Asghar Farhadi's A Hero
Zhang Yimou's Impasse
Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch (Searchlight)
Mike Mills' C'mon C'mon (A24)
Paul Thomas Anderson's Untitled Project (MGM)
Michael Showalter's The Eyes of Tammy Faye (Searchlight)
Tom McCarthy's Stillwater (Focus)
Leos Carax's Annette (Amazon)
Mia Hansen-Love's Bergman Island
Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins (Searchlight)
Todd Haynes' Untitled Velvet Underground Documentary (Apple TV+)
I'M BACK IN FOR 2020-21
I've been keeping it under wraps for a couple of weeks, but as the calendar is set to turn the page and mercifully bring 2020 to a close ( and because I've had a second email), I can reveal that I will be back for the third consecutive year as one of Movie City News' Gurus of Gold.
I'm not sure when our first post will be out...soon for sure, after the first of the year. I'm also not sure who my fellow Gurus will be this year. I'm interested in finding that out as well. At any rate, you can be sure that I'll let you know all that as quickly as I can.
I want to say thanks to head Guru Wrangler Ray Pride for asking me back.
Happy New Year to all!
