SOOOO...ABOUT NIGHTMARE ALLEY AND TELLURIDE

Many of you know that Guillermo Del Toro's Nightmare Alley was a film that I was hoping would make the TFF #48 lineup. Unfortunately that did not happen.  The word in August and even prior to that was that the film wasn't ready so no Telluride and no Venice.

Then on Nov. 29th, Deadline.com had this little morsel in a story about the film:


That's right, a screening of Nightmare Alley somewhere associated with TFF.  A little sleuthing and help from here and there and I discovered that the screening took place on Dec. 1 in San Francisco.  So, although Nightmare Alley was not an official selection of TFF, it still managed to become the sneakiest of sneak previews.
