CHECKING THE DISTRIBUTORS: A24
Today continues our parade through film distribution companies that have had the largest presence at Telluride over the last 7-8 years and because of that are generally the most likely to place films into the TFF #50 lineup. Today's candidate is A24 which, since 2015, has been the third most ubiquitous distrib at TFF with an average of just under hair under 2 films each year chosen to be in the Telluride list: Here's their rundown of films since 2015:
2015-Room
2016-Moonlight
2017-First Reformed, Lady Bird, Lean on Pete
2019-Uncut Gems, Waves, First Cow
2021-C'mon C'mon, Red Rocket, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
2022-Aftersun, Close
Prior to 2015 A24 also screened Ginger + Rosa in 2012 and Under the Skin in 2013.
For 2023 and TFF #50 A24 has these films that are the most likely to appear and the chance that actually happens:
The Zone of Interest-50%
Priscilla-40%
Occupied City-30%
Love Lies Bleeding-20%
Tuesday-10%
MORE VENETIAN THOUGHTS
From The Hollywood Reporter this week, another spec piece about films that could play The Lido. And then, of course, our job is to look at that list and parse what might be scheduled early enough to cross the Atlantic and be in Telluride a day or so later.
From the THR list, here are my guesses as to the films that could follow that scenario:
Poor Things/Lanthimos
Challengers/Gaudagnino
Maestro/Cooper
Saltburn/Fennell
Io Capitano/Garrone
Priscilla/Coppola
The Book of Clarence/Samuels
Nyad/Chin and Vasarhelyi
Drive Away Dolls/Coen
The Holdovers/Payne
Daaaaaali!/Dupieux
From this list the most likely by far is Alexander Payne's The Holdovers (though I think Nyad is a solid prediction too). Least Likely are Bradley Cooper's Maestro and Ethan Coen's Drive Away Dolls.
