LOOKS AT NYAD
Vanity Fair had access to a slew of stills from Chin and Vasarhelyi's biopic about long distance swimmer Diana Nyad starring Annette Bening as Nyad and also starring Jodie Foster.
I have included a couple here but there are a bunch more at the link above.
NO KOTFM AT T-RIDE
World of Reel's Jordan Ruimy has lowered the boom on hopes that Martin Scorsese would be at Telluride next week with Killers of the Flower Moon. Writing on his website on Tuesday:
"I posted my Telluride predictions and, in the process, also acknowledged the possibility that Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” might show up. Well, scratch that off, it’s not going. It’s been confirmed by a knowledgeable source."
There had been significant chatter that the Martin Scorsese film would be a part of Telluride's 50th edition but alas, that appears not to be the case.
Erik Anderson's Awards Watch has been very focused on The SHOW this week with it being the focus of a major post on Tuesday as well as the central topic on this week's Awards Watch podcast.
The post includes a lengthy list of possible players for TFF #50 as well as some analysis (and a kind link to MTFB).
In the article Erik incudes a lot of what you'll see above in today's Ten (Plus) Bets. He does include a few films worth noting/commenting on .
From his "World Premieres" list he includes:
*The Creator-see below
*Freud's Last Session-which I have dogged kept on as a "possibility" since the very first Ten Bets but about which we have heard almost nothing.
*A Difficult Year-Toronto lists it as an International Premiere and France is listed by TIFF as its nation of origin. IMDb says it premiered in Nice, France back in May.
*Food Inc. 2- this makes a lot of sense as the original Food Inc. played Telluride in 2008.
Meanwhile, Ryan McQuade was joined Anderson, Sophia Ciminello and Christina Juerling Birro on the Awards Watch podcast and the entire podcast is Telluride-centric.
Among the tidbits there:
The group agrees with my assessment that All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt might be that case of a Sundance film that plays The SHOW but the they also include Flora and Son and Fair Play as possibilities as well.
Also suggested as possible choices for TFF #50 are Food Inc. 2. Also mentioned is Gareth Edwards' The Creator. The Awards Watch crew does include on the basis of its "Texas Premiere" designation from Fantastic Fest but we learned just a couple of days ago that the film or portions of it will be screening at 10 IMAX theaters nationwide next week. That might explain its "Texas Premiere" designation.
There's also some fun speculation about who will get a tribute.

ERIK ANDERSON'S OSCAR PREDIX AND TFF #49
For the past couple of posts I have begun tracking where major Oscar pundits have TFF #49 films in their predictions. Previous posts have looked at predictions from Variety's Clayton Davis and The Hollywood Reporters' Scott Feinberg. I'll continue this line of "reportage" through the season. Today I'm turning to Erik Anderson and his predictions for his site Awards Watch.
As of this morning's post Anderson has late September predictions for Best Picture, Direction, Actress, Actor, Supporting Acting and the Screenplays. Hers' what he has among TFF #49 films predicted for Oscar nominations in those categories:
Women Talking: Best Picture, Direction, Supporting Actress/Foy, Supporting Actress/Buckley, Supporting Actor/Whishaw and Adapted Screenplay
Bardo: Best Picture, Direction, Original Screenplay
Mexico officially announced this week that its entrant for International Feature Oscar glory is Alejandro G. Inarritu's Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. The film had a rough go with critics through both and Venice and Telluride BUT with a sharp new trailer last week and news that Inarritu had shaved more than 20 minutes of runtime and now this announcement, the film might be picking up a little steam.
The film is set for release on Oct. 27th and to drop on Netflix on Dec. 16th.
NEW TRAILER FOR BONES AND ALL
MGM and United Artists have released a new trailer for Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All. That dropped on Thursday last week. Here it is from YouTube:
Bones and All is set for release on Nov. 23rd.

The description of the film from IMDb:
"Amidst a worldwide pandemic that causes sudden amnesia, middle-aged Aris finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed patients build new identities."
Good Monday everyone... I've got a full edition of MTFB today.
FIRST OSCAR PREDICTIONS FOR 2018
First up today is my first Oscar predictions for 2018. As regular readers know, I shift gears after each year's SHOW is completed (as well as Venice and Toronto) and, until Oscar night, the focus of this space becomes focused on the awards twists and turns that TFF films are a part of.
Consequently, I also endeavor to provide predictions about the Oscar race including my own set of prognostications. Over the next few months I'll also pay attention to some of the larger critic's top ten and "best of" lists as well as many of the film guild awards. All of which lead up to Oscar nomination announcement morning (Jan. 22) and the 91st Oscars ceremony on Feb. 24.
Additionally, this year, as I reported a few days back, this year my predictions will also be included as part of The Gurus of Gold at Movie City News.
It's an exciting time.
So here you are. My first set of predix for the four most major of major categories: Picture, Direction, Actress and Actor.

1) First Man
2) A Star Is Born
3) Roma
4) Green Book
5) The Favourite

CONTINUED OSCAR INSIGHT
Both Sasha Stone at Awards Daily and Erik Anderson of Awards Watch post updates for the Oscar season each Friday. Sasha's is titled Predictions Friday while Erik's is Frontrunner Friday. Clayton Davis of Awards Circuit updates weekly on Mondays. I'll try to make sure to provide those links each week. I'll also be adding Scott Feinberg's Feinberg Forecast (The Hollywood Reporter) , Kristopher Tapley (Variety) and others as the season really gets rolling.
I saw two big pieces appear this weekend that delved into the back story of the efforts to finish Orson Welles final film The Other Side of the Wind. Both Chris O'Falt for Indiewire and Alex Ross for The New Yorker put up extensive stories about how the film was rescued and finished.
Ali Abbasi's TFF #45 selection and Cannes' Un Certain Regard winner Border made a splash this weekend as it was named winner of the World Fiction prize at The Los Angeles Film Festival as well as having a U.S. trailer release.
The film was one of the more divisive offerings at this year's SHOW as evidenced by the disparate reactions from my collection of ratings from both the attendees of the fest, who had it at the #16 spot in their ratings and the Professionals for whom it ended up at their #8 spot.
Composer Nicholas Singer (nominated for an Emmy in 2014 for his work on the music for Night Must Fall) tweeted yesterday that the documentary he has been working on will premiere at Telluride. What makes the claim credible is that he says the film was made with Werner Herzog. The film is titled Meeting Gorbachev.
Though IMDb does not list the film in Singer's or Herzog's credits, it exists as Singer also tweeted a link to this RealScreen.com story that confirms its existence and that it will European premiere at the Leipzig Fest. The film is reported to be the opening night film on Oct. 29th.
As the tweet also says that the film will play Toronto, we can expect to see that in their announcements today or next week.
The film is described in the RealScreen story as a "portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev".
AWARDS WATCH LOOKS AT OSCAR AND FESTS
Erik Anderson of Awards Watch posted a longish piece over the weekend in which he takes a look at what he believes are the biggest Oscar contenders and where we know or where he thinks films are going to play as we move into the next few weeks.
The piece is interesting and notable because he adds some spicy choices to the list of films that he thinks are likely for Telluride. Films that either haven't been announced anywhere as yet or, in the case of A Star Is Born, have been announced but for which Anderson expresses a contrarian view.
What I mean is, I have certainly bagged the chances of seeing A Star Is Born at T-ride as Toronto announced it as a North American premiere. That designation has been rock solid as an indicator that a film will NOT play at Telluride since Toronto began the policy of requiring that films that they program reveal whether they're going to Telluride or not. To my knowledge there has been only one exception and that came in the first year of TIFF's "honest premiere status" policy and that was Escobar: Paradise Lost.
I'd like to be wrong, though.
In as far as other morsels of interest...
Anderson has a bunch of what have become the consensus Telluride players based on previous announcements from other fests: Cold War, Dogman, Roma, The Favourite, First Man, The Other Side of the Wind, Peterloo, The Old Man and the Gun, White Boy Rick.
Of more interest are films that have not been announced that he thinks probably/possibly be at Telluride: Boy Erased, Green Book, Mary Queen of Scots and Mid 90s make that list.
Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with Robert Redford yesterday in which the Oscar winning director of Ordinary People re-confirmed that The Old Man and the Gun will be his last acting gig.
Redford had said the same thing previously but seems to really put an exclamation mark to the notion with this story.
Redford's last film acting is expected to screen (for the first time for a public audience...call it a world premiere if you want to) in Telluride in three-ish weeks.
I've been interested in Maniac sense I learned that it was going to exist. The combination of Cary Joji Fukunaga (directing all 10 episodes) and Emma Stone was more than enough to get my attention.
Now, with the decision to turn the Coen Brothers Ballad of Buster Scruggs from a six part limited series into a feature film, I humbly submit that TFF should program Maniac as an episodic presentation (like Wormwood from last year).
The Netflix release date is Sept. 21 so it would fit nicely...
The notion also crossed my mind yesterday as a new trailer was released...and it's goooood...
From YouTube:
FOUR OF EIGHT
Variety's Kristopher Tapley cryptically tweeted a list of nine films last week. One assumes it is his first take on nine films that will ultimately end up being nominated for Best Picture.
Here's the list:
The reason for my excitement...half of Tapley's list is probable for T-ride-The Favourite, First Man, The Front Runner and Roma. BlacKkKlansman and Black Panther have or will have already been released before Telluride and A Star Is Born will not be playing there as revealed by its North American Premiere status for Toronto. The only film left on the list is tha Adam McKay film about Dick Cheney which could conceivably still make the Telluride lineup but I have seen/heard some scuttlebutt that McKay prefers to wait for its release later indicating that, perhaps an AFI berth is possible or no Fest play at all.
Still, I'm excited that so much appears on Tapley's list that we're probably going to see in the San Juans in three and a half weeks.
THE POSTER REMAINS A MYSTERY
It's August 6th and we still have seen no release of the 45th TFF official poster. Last year was also a late reveal. Even then, though, it was released on July 13th and that was the latest poster release in the last seven years.
Now we're behind that by three weeks.
Depending on the news we get today from other fests, I may post an update a little later today and as always...More to come on Thursday.

Amidst all the legal brouhaha over Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and whether it will actually screen to close Cannes on May 19th, we have a second trailer for the film, which, for my money is better and more enticing than the first.
Here it is from YouTube:
CANNES SUPPORTS THE DON AND GILLIAM
The top brass at the Cannes International Film Festival released a statement of support this week for Terry Gilliam and his beleaguered film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The film has taken two decades to complete and continues to be mired in legal woes.
A hearing is set to take place in Paris on May 7th concerning the claims of one of the past producers of the film. The decision in that proceeding could determine whether Quixote actually screens as Cannes closing night feature on May 19th. It's also entirely possible that the ruling could bar the film's screening.
Original reporting on this particular legal claim suggested that the ultimate court finding might not occur until June.
All of that means that the film's Cannes future is uncertain and certainly that would continue to be true in the context of a potential play at Telluride.
AWARDS WATCH PREVIEWS FOREIGN LANGUAGE OSCAR HOPEFULS
Erik Anderson at Awards Watch posted a piece this week examining 16 films that will be playing the Cannes Fest that he thinks could be players in the Foreign Language Oscar race.
Among those 16 are several that I have my eye on as possible TFF #45 candidates:
Cold War
Everybody Knows
Dogman
Ash Is the Purest White
Burning
Three Faces
Ayka
Producer Frank Marshall tweeted a photo on Monday with the caption explaining that the sound mix for Orson Welles' final film The Other Side of the Wind was "a wrap". That moves the film one step closer to completion and potential screening.
Increasingly I am convinced that we're going to have the opportunity to catch a screening of the film over Labor Day weekend.
Additionally, I also think a screening of Mark Cousins' new Welles documentary, The Eyes of Orson Welles could show as a companion piece.
Here's the photo:
and the text of Marshall's tweet:
That's a wrap! An historic moment as we finish the sound mix for THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, almost 50 years after Orson Welles began shooting his final picture. @OrsonWelles@netflix

Good Monday morning and apologies for today's tardiness. Still trying to manage the switch to daylight savings time.
MORE PEERING INTO THE OSCAR CRYSTAL BALL
More Oscar prognosticators have begun to turn the page from the 90th Oscars to begin to lay the groundwork for the 91st. As is my custom, I am mining their predictions for potential players for TFF #45.
Erik Anderson of Awards Watch posted his first pass this past week. Included on his Best Picture list are these films that might make the Telluride lineup:
Backseat-The Adam McKay directed biopic of Dick Cheney with Christian Bale and Amy Adams.
Black Klansman- This is my first inclusion on the prospective Telluride 2018 list. It's from Spike Lee and is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American lawman who infiltrated the KKK. My primary reason for inclusion: It's distributed by Focus Features which played Darkest Hour at TFF last year.
Boy Erased- dir: Joel Edgerton
Can You Ever Forgive Me?-Melissa McCarthy stars in a drama. Marielle Heller directs and its from Fox Searchlight...which had a good year last year with a little film that played Telluride called The Shape of Water.
Everybody Knows- Asghar Farhadi is back. The film maker played past Tellurides with A Separation and The Past but did not in 2016 with The Salesman. A return could happen with this project that stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
First Man- Damian Chazelle's La La Land follow up about astronaut Neil Armstrong.
The Front Runner-Jason Reitman's focus on Gary Hart's flame out presidential run in with Hugh Jackman playing the Senator.
If Beale Street Could Talk- Barry Jenkins...
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote- Terry Gilliam's multi-decade passion project.
Mary, Queen of Scots- Saorise Ronan and Margot Robbie go toe to toe in this historical biopic. I'm actually back and forth about its chances, but it's also from Focus Features which, for the moment, tipped the scales for me to include it here.
Old Man and the Gun- Fox Searchlight again and Robert Redford...a past TFF tribute recipient.
Peterloo- Mike Leigh directs the story of labor strife in England.
Roma- Alfonso Cuaron could be back after Gravity's play in 2013.
Widows-Steve McQueen directs. That, by itself, might be enough to mean a Telluride play.
And maybe, again, maybe...Martin Scorsese's The Irishman...depending on what Netflix decides to do with its delivery.
Meanwhile, Joey Magidson has 2018-19 10 Oscar Best Picture picks up at Hollywood News. They include, as you'd expect, many of the same films that Anderson has named:
First Man, Backseat, The Front Runner, The Irishman and Boy erased. He also includes The Women of Marwen starring Steve Carrel.
In the melee that was the end of the Oscar telecast in 2017, and with the reversal of fortune that presented itself after it was discovered that the winner was Moonlight and not La La Land, Barry Jenkins didn't get a chance to say what he intended to say as the telecast concluded.
That oversight was corrected, at least in some measure, yesterday in Austin, TX at the South by Southwest Fest where Jenkins was a keynote speaker.
Among other comments, Jenkins discussed the importance of not placing limitations on oneself.
Here is linked coverage of the address from Jenkins from:
Rebecca Miller and HBO Docs brought Arthur Miller; Writer to TFF #45 last fall and now HBO has set its reveal for Mar. 19th. Consequently, a trailer for the documentary has been released. Here that is from YouTube:
That's all for today. More to come on Thursday.
