As far as the big titles go, we predicted all of them. The biggest surprises are the two titles that aren’t part of this year’s “official” Telluride Film Festival Lineup: Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” and Paul Schrader’s “The Card Counter.”
On Thursday afternoon, media outlets and press will be treated to the patron screening, an annual tradition that delivers a “secret screening” not announced in the programming. Telluride boss Julie Huntsinger added that it will not be “The French Dispatch,” or “The Card Counter,” but that it “doesn’t eliminate the possibility of either popping up as special screenings over the five-day fest”.
As mentioned, both films were supposed to be part of this year’s programming, but surprisingly didn’t show up in today’s lineup — why? I have absolutely no idea.
