Derek Cianfrance's new movie "The Place Beyond the Pines" was screened at the Toronto Film Fest this past week and it looks like a distributor for the film has been confirmed. Focus Features will be picking it up and it looks like the film will be aiming for a release at some point in 2013. Considering the positive buzz around the film, this will be a film Focus will definitely want to push for next year's Oscar race. [deadline]
Moonrise Kingdom was only released four months ago and looks to finally have bowed in the theaters raking up more than $40 million in the box office which marks it as one of Wes Anderson's biggest hits. Considering the film was made on a pretty small budget, it looks to be a very wise investment for the aforementioned Focus Features. So it comes as even better news to learn that The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson's next film, is already underway. Filming starts in January and the casts features Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Ed Norton, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, and Adrien Brody. Um, yeah, count me in. Considering filming starts in January, could that mean we could get it in theaters by late 2013? Well, that's a much tougher call. At least we don't have to wait three years for another Wes Anderson film. [the playlist]
It looks like David O. Russell and Bradley Cooper have really become best buds. They just made Silver Linings Playbook which showed in Toronto and it has people considering it a major awards contender. They're about to tackle another project together, American Bullshit (likely to be retitled), and now there's yet another project on their plate called American Sniper. Sounds exciting, until you remember that David O. Russell and Mark Wahlberg seemed like best buds too after The Fighter came out.
Oh and here's a poster for Silver Linings Playbook:
I don't really like to do box office reports because I hate how the movie world revolves around those numbers so much. But, it is quite noteworthy to tell you that this past weekend marked one of the worst box office weekends in recent memory. [boxofficemojo]
