KILLERS MAY BE LATE

All my hopes that Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon might screen at Telluride may be in trouble as World of Reel reports that the film might get pushed to 2023. Jordan Ruimy, who runs WOR, has been following up on an April 11th tweet from The Playlist's Gregory Ellwood that suggests that there is some buzz that the film could be delayed.
Screenwriter Eric Roth had said in an interview with Indiewire's Anne Thompson in February that the film would be released in November but...
Another factor that may a cause of delay is the report that Scorsese is shooting a new ending to the film in Oklahoma this month. The Tulsa World reported that back in late March.
So, my dream of being at a screening of the film at TFF #49 may not happen at all. Stay tuned.
HINTS AT SOME OTHER TFF #49 POSSIBLES
Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling is a film that I haven't really had on my radar for TFF but a comment from Ioncinema this past week and after its first trailer dropped at Cinemacon...maybe I should have. Ioncinema tweeted:
"I'm curious to hear where she is going with this".... I think fans of Carlo Mirabella-Davis's Swallow will lather this up / fully expect this to be at @la_Biennale / Telluride @TIFF_NET - @oliviawilde's Don't Worry Darling"
Warner Bros. releases the trailer on Monday. Here it is from YouTube:
Variety reported on the film and the trailer release earlier this week. That is linked here.
The film has announced release date of Sept.. 23rd which puts it into theaters three weeks after a potential screening at The SHOW.
Additionally, we found out this week that Cannes will screen part of Etan Hawke's new documentary about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward-The Last Movie Stars- in its Cannes Classics section. Could that be repeated at Telluride? Hawke has had a long association with T-ride and HBO Films is one of the films producing organizations which has also been showing up at The SHOW in recent years so...maybe. The doc did play as a part of South by southwest which in most cases would make it unlikely for TFF #49 but the fest has seemed to be a little more flexible about scheduling previously screened docs in its past.
Here's reporting from The Hollywood Reporter regarding the Hawke project and other additions to the Cannes Classics lineup.
TELLURIDE FAVORITE PAUL SCHRADER WINS CAREER HONOR
Paul Schrader, who makes frequent stops at Telluride including last year's The Card Counter was announced this week as the winner of Venice's Golden Lion for Career Achievement. Schrader will be feted as a part of the Venice Film Festival.
The honor and presentation raises the question : Will his The Master Gardner be scheduled at Venice as a part of the celebration and does that increase or decrease that chances that Telluride audiences will see it in the TFF #49 lineup?
The Magic 8 Ball says: "Cannot Predict Now".
