A NEW DATE SPURS SPECULATION
Warner Brothers dropped a stunner of a piece pf news yesterday that Paul Thomas Anderson's latest, One Battle After Another has been re-dated from August 8th to September 26th. The announcement opened a door to speculation about the reasons for the move including the possibility of a fall film festival premiere.
Anderson attended TFF in 2007 for the tribute to Daniel Day-Lewis which included a screening of a few minutes of There Will Be Blood. His track record with fests shows no favoritism regarding any particular fest. Here's the track record:
Hard Eight-Sundance
Boogie Nights-Toronto
Magnolia-No fest
Punch Drunk Love-Cannes
There Will Be Blood-Telluride (sort of) then Fantastic Fest
The Master-Venice
Inherent Vice-New York Film Fest
Phantom Thread-Premiered in New York then the Palm Springs Film Fest
Licorice Pizza-Premiered in Los Angeles then the Santa Barbara International Film festival
Gold Derby name checked T-ride specifically as a possible film fest destination for the new film saying:
"It (the new date) also positions Anderson’s highly anticipated movie in the heart of awards season and opens up the possibility of a fall festival launch at either the Venice Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, or Toronto International Film Festival."
Both World of Reel and The Film Stage suggest the possibility of an appearance at a "fall film festival".
As you might expect, I'll be keeping up with developments in this matter. Frankly, I think it's a long shot at best, but...
