Tons of Park City alumni are bringing their latest films, but I'm a bit surprised that March-pegged releases of The Weinstein's All Good Things and Focus Features' Greenberg aren't getting a Park City push. Instead, as expected, Sony Pictures Classics will show up and they get to showcase Get Low and A Prophet (Spotlight section) once again, and they'll preem Holofcener's Please Give. Overture will introduce Philip Seymour Hoffman's directing debut (Jack Goes Boating) and Fox Searchlight will preem Duplass Bros.' untitled comedy, which I'm calling Center of Attention - because its a great title considering the subject matter.

I remember during my visit at the Cannes' 60th edition thinking to myself how Cannes is a "boys club" in relation to the count them on one hand number of female filmmakers that were invited to participate on the unique short film collection celebrating the festival. Males tend to outnumber female filmmakers in general, but at Sundance you sometimes get the sense that its an even playing field.

Some fresh pics of Michael Winterbottom's latest have hit the web, and they got "extra pulp" written all over them.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Michael Winterbottom will direct the pair in a $13 million dollar project based on a pulp novel (circa 1976) by Jim Thompson (The Grifters).
