WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
Figuring out Telluride is never an easy task but this year takes the cake. Writers' strike, Actors' strike...nothing is stable...all is squishy.
Late Friday/Saturday:
1) Guadagnino's Challengers backs out of Opening Venice and sets a new release date in late April 2024. Any chance that it might have been a TFF #50 possibility is all but obliterated. The reason? No Zendaya because of the SAG-Aftra strike.
2) Bradley Cooper's Maestro going to New York? That's what World of Reel suggests based on reporting from Indiewire. If true, that means no TFF #50 bow for the film from Netflix.
3) Also seemingly out of Telluride 2023 is Hayao Miyazaki's anticipated The Boy and the Heron which Indiewire's Eric Kohn suggests might be Opening Toronto '23. And yes, that would mean no TFF #50 play.
4) However in that same Kohn/Indiewire post there seems to be a level of assurance that Ethan Hawkes' Wildcat WILL PLAY in T-ride over Labor Day. Kohn writes:
"Buyers are already circling potential TIFF pickups like Ethan Hawke’s “Wildcat,” which stars his daughter Maya Daisy Hawke as Flannery O’Connor. Hawke plans to promote the movie, also expected at Telluride"
5) Intriguingly...none of the news of the last 72+ hours would preclude a North American premiere of either Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon or Fincher's The Killer. Think on that.
WE HAVE A POSTER!
TFF's 50th edition poster from Meow Wolf artist Luke Dorman (who did the super TFF #48 poster) has been released:
TORONTO ANNOUNCES SOME FILMS TODAY?
Media reports indicate that the Toronto International Film Festival is likely to announce some of their confirmed titles today after having slid by on July 19th with only a single title named.
You'll want to be paying attention if this actually transpires to the "premiere status" announced for each film as that can give us clues as to whether or not a film may be playing at TFF #50.
I'll be on the road when and if this announcement happens so I may be a bit late to the game in as far as noting what might be in and out vis-a-vis TFF #50. Rest assured, MTFB will get caught up ASAP.
