LET'S TALK BIG PICTURE: PART ONE
Every year I have been writing this thing devoted to the Telluride Film Festival we reach a new starting point for serious speculation about what might play beginning in December.
I currently have two big lists that I'm working from. The first is from a file I constantly add to called "Future Telluride". I work from a number of sources anything that seems to indicate a film project that might tempt programmers from The SHOW. Guidelines for making the list include directors with a Telluride title on their credits, distributors with same and general intuition.
I clean up that list from time to time by culling film projects that debut without playing Telluride and those that do. I still have a couple of potential projects in the list from as far back as 2014 (It's a Steve McQueen project that was announced in November of that year).
That's the Big Picture I'll be sharing today.
Big Picture Part Two will come on Monday.
So, here's what's been in the "Future Telluride" file of films that I have been keeping an eye on chronologically listed beginning with films listed first in 2018:

The Zone of Interest/Glazer
Killers of the Flower Moon/Scorsese

There you have 34 potential TFF #50 selections.
Monday's list has nearly 60 possible titles. Many of the above are on that list as well.
NAPOLEON?
Still from Napoleon via Apple
Ridley Scott's Napoleon has a release date. Apple announced this week that the film will be released theatrically on Nov. 22nd. That puts it in position to play Telluride, Venice, Toronto, New York and/or London in any combination. Or other fests as well.
I think its chances for Telluride, at least at the moment, are smallish. over the years there have been a number of Scott films that I thought had some potential to play Telluride including: The Counselor, The Martian, All the Money in the World and The Last Duel. Of course, none of those happened.
But...you never know...
