DATES TELL A STORY

A couple of films that I have been attention to had their release dates announced the past few days and each announcement tells us a least a little bit about possible Telluride ramifications.
Focus Features announced that Chloe Zhao's Hamnet (starring Paul Mescal and Jesse Buckley) will have a limited release on Nov. 27th followed by a nationwide expansion on Dec. 12th. That report is per Indiewire and is linked here. Those dates keep open the chance that Zhao returns to Telluride. It also allows the possibility of Venice, Toronto, New York and/or London.
Zhao's The Rider played T-ride in 2017. Her Oscar winning Nomadland would have played the 47th TFF but that went away with Covid. However, the fest was instrumental in arranging a Drive-In screening in Los Angeles. So I can totally see Hamnet making an appearance at TFF #52.
Nomadland won three Oscars including Best Picture, Actress and Direction.
Meanwhile, Focus also announced that Ethan Coen's Honey Don't, which will world premiere at Cannes next month, will be released in the U.S. on August 22nd, thus taking it off the table for a spot at TFF#52. I mentioned Honey Don't last week and indicated that it was an unlikely candidate for T-ride and this reporting from The Playlist validates that thinking.
