Oooh what a man!!!!!!!!!!! :D

About Macbeth, I don't think that Weinstein will release it next year. I think they will release their films in festivals and see the reaction. If they are very good, they release this year, even if it's only a limited one. If the reception is bad, only next year. I read some journalist talking about Cannes but I really don't think so. It's almost impossible for this movie to be bad. Let's see how it goes...

My bet is London Film Festival for Macbeth. Opening or closing night ceremony.

I hope so too. The opening film is The Imitation Game ,they have not announced the full programme. The LFF would be perfect but NOW the WC schedule doesn't include it..
If doesn't screen at LFF or Telluride,we should just hope for a rushed release like The Wolf of Wall Street.
If this is not the case,I prefer to see it at Cannes (IMO it's a solid possibility because the film is distributed also by the French Studio Canal ) and not at the beginning of the year. Weinstein totally messed up Fiennes' Coriolanus,I don't want a similar treatment.
IMO the possibilities are two:
- the film is not finished,and I really really hope that W doesn't interfere during the editing phase.
-he has alreaday TIG with Cumberbatch and Knightley and it's sure he will campaign hard for them ,maybe Big Eyes and The disappearance of Eleanor Rigby with a possibility for Amy Adams and Chastain,so probably he doesn't want to waste Macbeth this year.
Let's see ..

Oh, I didn't know that TIG was opening LFF...maybe Macbeth will close the festival? Maybe Weinstein wants to surprise us! Besides, Macbeth wrapped up in March so a release by December is possible, come on, 9 months! :graucho: There is also AFI Festival in November, who knows? Cannes is too far...unless they do with Macbeth what they did with GOM and postpone it for more than a year and then just release by the end of 2015. I really don't think so...

To be honest, I don't know if TIG and Big Eyes will earn big nominations for Weinstein. In my view, they might earn in technical stuff but acting...I don't know. With Macbeth they would have extremely HIGH chances for Best Actor and Best Actress, along with some technical aspects. I also believe that is not a matter of waste because next year there will be a lot of great films coming too.

Weinstein is pretending that Grace doesn't exist :D But The Immigrant,for example,has received a similar treatment..so at this point I don't know..
Honestly, if it's not released this year,I prefer to wait :cry: and see it at some festivals the next year.. A winter\spring release would be very disappointing..


Judging from the early screening reactions,TIG is very very Oscar baity,and Cumberbatch is currently in many best actor predictions. It seems that he's very good and the role is the classic role that could appeal to the Academy.. I'm sensing that Weinstein will campaign for it as he did for The King's Speech.
You're right,the next year there will be other films,but since he spent a lot of money for TIG's rights, it's possible that now W doesn't want a "conflict of interest" for the acting categories.. I don't know.. Marion has some chances with Two days,one night,for which she has received rave reviews at Cannes this year,so this could be a further reason.. :shrugs:


I'm not really interested in awards,they are not a synonym for quality. There are plenty of wonderful movies and performances without any type of recognition,but if Fassy and Marion are great,it would be a pity not seeing the deserved attention .

Michael is one of those stars who everybody loves and that we can't say bad things like NEVER. First because all actors that have worked with him say he's easy to work with and a very friendly person. In interviews at red carpets or anything like it he's always nice and smilling...even with paparazzis he doesn't have problems.

And second because it's impossible to deny his talent. In all roles he does he gives 110% :cool:

Yes, it's true. Does it even have a release date yet? After it flopped in Europe, even in France, I think they will release it on VOD, iTunes, etc. Or only a very limited release on theaters. But apparently the film is like Diana, very superficial, although performances and editing are very good. The Immigrant was nearly ignored but after it got rave reviews in the US, they decided to release it and it overperformed over there. Some critics even say that Marion Cotillard might receive some award for it. Not an Oscar but a small award.

Do you know what? Foxcatcher was supposed to premiere at AFI last year and they decided to postpone it for six months until Cannes. Now, the film will only be released in November, one year after its original release date. It's a possibility that Macbeth will have the same destination, who knows? It would be great indeed to see it premieres at Cannes, specially because Michael hasn't been there since 2009 (am I right?). But a release on December 25th, like happened with TWOWT is possible too...

Huum, I see...on the next months we'll know what will happen with TIG. After its reception at Toronto and London will have an idea. Let's wait just a little bit! ;) Yes, Marion has TDON but after she was snubbed for Rust And Bone I have my doubts if she will earn an Oscar nod in 2015. I think she might earn nominations in France and maybe some independent awards or awards which have more acting categories, like the Golden Globes. I say the same for Michael in Frank. Frank will be released in August, let's see how it goes there!

I totally agree, it's all about politics and money. But it's always amazing to see talented actors like them receiving recognition. Specially because they fought a lot to be where they are. Both started acting very young and only by their 30s that they got some attention. :smile1:
