TITLES DISAPPEARING FROM CONSIDERATION
(Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara on the set of Nightmare Alley via IMDb)
Notes on interviews with Venice Film Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera who reveled that both Guillermo Del Toro's Nightmare Alley and Ridley Scott's House of Gucci both were to have been in the Venice lineup but will not be ready in time.
You have to conclude, by extension, that if neither film is ready for Venice that they will not be playing Telluride either since the two fests occupy the same dates on the calendar.
Here's the Barbera interview from Variety in which, among other items, he reveals that Nightmare Alley isn't ready. Also...see the Toronto story below.
Additionally, Variety reported last night that Andrew Dominik's Blonde will move to 2022 thereby almost certainly off the Telluride list. The Variety story is here.
NEW TORONTO AND NEW YORK ADDITION
The Toronto International Film Festival added Galas, Special Presentations and Contemporay Wprd Cinema selections yesterday. Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog was added as a "Canadian Premiere". Earlier this week the New York Film Festival named it as its choice for its centerpiece. The NYFF announcement reveals that presentation will be the film's "New York premiere":
"Film at Lincoln Center announces Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog as the Centerpiece selection for the 59th New York Film Festival, making its New York premiere at Alice Tully Hall on October 1."
The dual announcements mean that The Power of the Dog is all but locked for a Telluride bow after its screening in Venice.
Meanwhile, the announcement from TIFF also took Mothering Sunday and The Humans out of consideration for T-ride. Mothering Sunday was announced as a North American Premiere while The Humans will be a World Premiere. Those designations indicate that neither will be playing at Telluride.
