DOES MILL VALLEY SUGGEST SORRY WE MISSED YOU AT TELLURIDE?
Ken Loach was, once again, a part of Cannes' Palme d'Or competition this year with Sorry We Missed You. The film has been one that I have kept an eye despite it having remained under the radar since its Cannes debut. I had it on my 75 Films That Could Play Telluride post from July 22nd. (That list currently has 15 films that I think are very much Telluride bound. It also has 22 films that appear to have been eliminated from TFF consideration.)
The film has played a handful of other international film fests but still has no U.S. distributor and hasn't shown up in any announcement from Toronto (yet).
But Loach was a 1993 Telluride tribute recipient and Raining Stones screened. Ladybird, Ladybird was programmed at TFF #21 the following year so there's a bit of history there.
And this weekend I happen to casually be perusing the early announced films for the Mill Valley Film Fest and happened across Sorry to Miss You announced as a West Coast premiere. The only other film among the titles Mill Valley included that also has that designation is Agnes Varda's Varda by Agnes, which most of you readers know I have been thinking that it will be a Telluride screening all summer long.
Consequently, it seems to me from this evidence that Loach's film suddenly looks like a real possibility for TFF #46. It might even make the updated Ten/Bonus Bets on Friday.
Here's the list from Mill Valley.

LITTLE WOMEN GETS A TRAILER
Anton Volkov's Trailer Track and several other outlets revealed yesterday that we should see a trailer for Little Women sometime today.
The Greta Gerwig film is currently not announced for any film fest and the scuttlebutt the last couple of weeks has been that the film could well bypass all the fests. That seems to be the most likely scenario but I'm still holding onto a shred of hope that it magically makes an appearance at TFF #46 in a couple of weeks.
Word is that the trailer is to drop sometime this morning.
Here's the link to the Trailer Track story.
