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...

Grace was a disaster.. it has been hailed as one of the worst opener in Cannes history and someone even wondered if it was the worst Cannes film ever.. I've not seen it and honestly I'm not impatient to verify with my eyes :shocked: Weinstein is know for interfering in the final phases of the production and allegedly he had many problems with the director , probably now he wants to re-edit it. Marion totally deserved a nomination for Rust And Bone,but honestly I agree with you, it's a long shot for her to get a nomination. About Frank,I'm more confident in the British Independent Film Awards or in the Spirits Awards.. the GG could be a possibility if the Best Actor in a comedy\musical category is particularly weak. At the moment I see like very strong guesses Boseman for Get on up and Phoenix for Inherent Vice.
Yes,Michael was there for IB and Fish Tank (Jury Prize) and the previous year for Hunger (Camera d'Or) ,it would be great see him there again. Obviously I want to see a release this year,even a limited one,but if this is not the case I prefer to wait and see a proper treatment. I'm still hoping for some surprises (LFF,Telluride or AFI festival) or at least some news to understand if the film is still in post-production or there are other "strategy reasons " forum.purseblog.com/images/smilies2/thinkin.gif
However we are forgetting Slow West! IMO there are some chances it could be included in the TIFF schedule (they have not announced the full programme) and ,of course,LFF and Telluride remain other options.

It's a shame because the director is very good and the cast...AMAZING. But yes, Dahan had problems with Weinstein but I've read that the version which screened at Cannes was the director's. So TWC will definitely do some editing to it so the money damage will be less to producers. Cannes has been picking up some very average films to its recent openings: Grace this year and The Great Gatsby the year before. But it happens, maybe next year they will choose better ;)

Maybe it's better for it to be released next year because both him and Marion have other important films in 2014. He has Frank and Slow West, which is already finished (I think it screened at Cannes?) and will probably be on TIFF this year. The festival will announce new films on August 6 and then on the following weeks. So he has two films already. And Marion has The Immigrant and TDON, which will probably be on TIFF too.

Thinking well, now I want Macbeth to premiere at Cannes: Michael would be back after 6 years and Marion is a queen over there and she doesn't have any film to be released next year, except two animations. Imagine Macbeth opening it or running for Palme D'or? :cool:

Honestly,despite all the criticism,I didn't dislike The Great Gatsby and it was surely a better choice than Grace. The festival's opener is traditionally out of competition,so I hope this will not be the case :pbut yes,it would be very good to see them there.
I think that Slow West is finished. It was at Cannes in search for buyers, probably there was a private screening or they showed just some footage. I'm very curious to see it too. Let's see what happens with TIFF..
However I've just controlled the IMDb page and the release date for Macbeth is still 2014, 29 January 2015 in Germany.. but I don't know how the news are updated there.

^ Wouldn't you have loved it if Michael was standing in front of you but you have no idea that was him until he turned around. Then, you go all squeaking like heaven just open its gate before taking out your phone, fumbling with the buttons before taking a picture of him? Yup xD.

Anyway, Michael was spotted out in London today 8/02/2014.
