Top 100 Most Anticipated American Independent Films of 2019: #14. Untitled Noah Baumbach project

Date:

A film that Netflix could have easily placed in the 2018 calendar, Noah Baumbach‘s still untitled project might just follow in the footsteps of The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) and head to Cannes – if the policy in place does get adjusted. Production took place in March of 2018 with a cast comprised of Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, Ray Liotta, Laura Dern. Baumbach reteams with cinematographer Robbie Ryan for a tale that takes place on both coastal major metropolitan American cities.

Gist: The story follows an unfolding divorce that spans from New York City to Los Angeles.

Release Date/Prediction: If we’re still going by last year’s Netflix and Cannes impasse, Cannes should be out of the equation. In a year where Roma is the Oscar front-runner, perhaps some new rule with be implemented.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
