Interesting wrinkle to potential premieres at Telluride...

>My Notes on Mars from Hungarian director Lili Horvát (Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time [TIFF2020 CWC]) will open Venice Days, screening in competition. Horvát’s English-language debut stars Mackenzie Davis and Rupert Friend [originally casted with Greta Lee and Andrew Scott] in the story of a young scientist who mysteriously disappears only to show up weeks later at her own memorial service with no memory of what happened.

Kuba Dorabialski’s Agata the Writer, starring Mia Wasikowska as an Australian author in Sarajevo, will also premiere in competition

Léa Domenach’s Man’s Skin, a queer feminist musical comedy set in the Italian Renaissance and featuring Catherine Deneuve, will close Venice Days, screening out of competition. [2020's Venice Days closer was Bruce Campbell's Saint-Narcisse, TIFF2020 Industry Selects]

>Timed for its 10th anniversary, “La La Land” is releasing back in theaters starting Sunday, Aug. 16. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oBwwSXdO_E

Just in time for a short run leading up to TIFF2026

>Independent Film Company releases the film in U.S. theaters on September 25. [Same as Mongrel Media]

Last year's NYFF closer was WP of "Is This Thing On?", which meant it couldn't come to TIFF

The trailers of some of TIFF's 2026 Selection are starting to be uploaded by TIFF

>Netflix acquired the North American and Latin American rights to the film, an individual with knowledge of the deal told IndieWire, while Studiocanal produced and is handling a number of international territories. It isn’t often Netflix doesn’t buy global rights, so they must’ve seen something special in this one.
“Ink” marks the first time Boyle is taking a film to Venice, and it will play in competition on September 2, with the festival running through September 12.
The full Venice lineup will be announced next week, and we expect this won’t be the last splash Netflix makes among the fall festivals this year.

>Here’s your first trailer for Tony Gilroy’s new drama Behemoth! starring Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor and Will Arnett.
Searchlight has just dated the movie for December 4th, 2026, right in the awards season corridor.
Behemoth! feels like a meeting of Maestro and Tár. At least on first glance.

>1-2 Special will release A Man of His Time in theaters next year.

>A Man of His Time was well-received at its world premiere in Cannes, where it won the prize for best screenplay.
