CRY MACHO TRAILER AND PICS
There are some folks that think that Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho might be a TFF #48 selection and there is a case to made. Eastwood has been the TFF before. Most recently he attended in 2016 for the screening of Sully. Eastwood was in attendance as were stars Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart. Additionally, the project is from Warner Bros which, we believe from Pete Hammond's earlier reporting, will likely be screening at least one film in Telluride.
My hope all along has been that WB title would be Denis Villenueve's Dune but my expectation for that happening has really cooled over the last two weeks. So, if not Dune, then Cry Macho makes some sense as the next best guess for a WB title.
Cry Macho is set for a Sept. 17th release which hews closely to the model taken by Sully which was released Sept. 9, 2016.
Warners dropped both a trailer and a poster for the film since last Thursday's post. Here's the poster:
And here, from YouTube, is the trailer:
BTW...I'm still not 100% convinced Cry Macho plays. The other WB title in the mix is The Soprano's sequel The Many Saints of Newark.
FRENCH DISPATCH
I know a number of folks who are relatively adamant that Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch will play TFF #48. I'm more circumspect as there have been reports that the film's New York Film Festival screening will be it U.S. Premiere and if that's true it will mean that the film is NOT a Telluride player.
Nevertheless, enough people I respect think that it will play that I'm not inclined to completely remove it from my "Other Possibilities" list.
Personally, I hope we see it in T-ride.
At any rate, we got a new poster for the film from Searchlight this week (it looks Sergeant Peppery):
FANTASTIC FEST ANNOUNCEMENT REVEALS...
Fantastic Fest admittedly only rarely reveals information that unmasks a possible TFF title, but it's not impossible. It has happened an occasion. The FF folks revealed the first half of their lineup on Thursday and to the best of my ability, it doesn't look like any of the titles are going to be an overlap with TFF #48. When you look at the Fantastic Fest designations the term that you want to look for is "Texas Premiere". The films with that designation and their release status are:
Agnes (Tribeca)
The Beta Test (Tribeca)
Knocking (Sundance)
Last of the Wolves (NYAFF)
Limbo (NYAFF)
Midnight (NYAFF)
Mother Schmuckers (Sundance)
Premen (IMDb says released April 9th)
Sooo...no Fantastic Fest/Telluride double dip like there was in 2019 when the two fests shared Parasite.
