Fall Fests Running Short on Studio Films
This is the season when we try to find out what's going to turn up at Toronto, Telluride, New York and Venice. It turns out that many of the studio movies that might have been expected to debut at these fall fests will not be ready in time.
Neither Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road nor John Patrick Shanley's Doubt will be ready for the NYFF, as previously reported here. Gus Van Sant's Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, will also not be finished until late October or early November, while John Hillcoat's film version of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, starring Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortenson, will not be complete until December.
As for Steven Soderbergh's Cannes entry Che, I hear that it will only turn up at a fest willing to screen it as a 4 1/2 hour feature, as Cannes did. UPDATE: Word is, that fest is New York.
