Christopher Nolan’s latest puzzle box of a movie, “Tenet,” has become of the most-anticipated releases in years, in part because of continual delays due to COVID-19.That leaves space this year for more indie films — a space that Searchlight Pictures has leaped into with Chloé Zhao’s drama “Nomadland,” which will premiere at Venice and play at Toronto and the New York Film Festival and screen at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 11 as a special Telluride From Los Angeles drive-in experience.
Zhao has been holed up for the last month on the Disney lot, finishing post-production on both “Nomadland” and “The Eternals,” a Marvel Studios superhero movie slated for next year. The Beijing-born filmmaker has just two other movies on her résumé: indie efforts “Songs My Brothers Taught Me” and “The Rider,”.
“Chloé's on the cusp,” says Searchlight’s executive vice president of marketing, Michelle Hooper, “and these festivals will be a good way to get her on the world’s collective radar.”Frances McDormand in Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland,” which premieres Friday at the Venice Film Festival., who won an Oscar for Jenkins’ “If Beale Street Could Talk” and this month might win her fourth Emmy, having been nominated for her lead turn on the HBO limited series “Watchmen.
“It’s very exciting and affirming,” King says by phone. The movie finished shooting in February, with King returning to film two final scenes in late spring, then push through post-production. “It’s set in 1964, but these men are talking about what it’s like to be Black in America right now.”Toronto will also premiere “Bruised,” Halle Berry’s directorial debut, a sports movie in which she plays an MMA fighter.
The answer is life goes on. Can we not have an awards season for one year?
Obviously cancelled duh 🙄
I think rickygervais said all we need to know about award shows.
I think we will be better off without the elite jetting to LA to preach their crazy view of the world; they can keep it to themselves. No one misses this. Ricky said it best, and it's always worth watching again:
Who cares
It means no one gives a rats ass.
That we don’t give a fuck about your awards show!
No one cares
Awards for those with no hearts & souls, giving China’s Regime exemplary support. Helping China’s Regime deny USA freedom of speech with self censorship! !
Answer is nope.
Such a bummer. Their acting talent won't have showcases.
Did they ever?
It will mean less lecturing from these clowns. Hollywood is dying and we are all cheering. Go Toronto!
Oh no! How will actors/actresses talk about how important they are?!
No one cares about the film industry, pedos all...
omg
Nobody watches these hypocrites.
