SCREEN DAILY LOOKS AT CANNES POSSIBILITIES
We're growing closer to the actual announcement of films that will be a part of this year's Cannes Film Fest's various sections. Then we can look at them for clues as to possible Telluride choices for TFF #50. In this interim, now down to 10 days, looking at informed speculation is the best game in town. Among the best each year at sussing out probable Cannes selections is Screen Daily and that's where we look today to gauge what might happen.
Screen Daily, rather uniquely, divides their picks geographically, so we'll organize that way as well. Here are what I feel like are the most viable T-ride potentials from the Screen Daily list:
France:
The Book of Solutions/Gondry
Daaaaaali!/Depieux
North America:
Killers of the Flower Moon/Scorsese
May/December/Haynes
UK:
The Old Oak/Loach
Italy:
La Chimera/Rohrwacher
Io Capitano/Garrone
Other Europe:
Poor Things/Lanthimos
AND/Lanthimos
Fallen Leaves/Kaurismaki
The Bastard/Arcel
Asia and Australia:
Monster/Kore-eda
Cobweb/Kang-ho
The New Boy/Thornton
DUNE: PART TWO
I haven't given any thought to a possibility that Dune Part Two might play TFF #50. After the first film opted not to play at Telluride my assumption has been that there was no chance that the sequel would play The SHOW. That despite the fact that director and co-writer Denis Villenueve has had a substantial history with TFF including screenings of Arrival (2016), Prisoners (2013), Incendies (2010) and August 32nd on earth (1998).
All that said to get almost certain confirmation from a story by Andreas Wiseman for Variety that posted last week. In it Variety reports that the film will not be ready for a Venice premiere. Since T-ride and Venice run side-by-side, we know that a TFF #50 screening would also be out of the question.
the article does tease that a later film festival might be in play for the film which has a scheduled release date of Nov. 3rd. New York maybe?
