Ten Bets #2 for TFF #52 / Variety 's Take on Venice / Roofman has a Trailer

TEN BETS #2 FOR TFF #52

It's Thursday so time to update MTFB's Teb bets for TFF #52.

Here's a review of last week's Ten Bets.

And here's the updated Bets for this week:

1) It Was Just an Accident/Panahi

2) Blue Moon/Linklater

3) Bugonia/Lanthimos

4) Sentimental Value/Trier

5) The Young Mothers' Home/Dardennes

6) Hamnet/Zhao

7) Sirat/Oliver Laxe

8) Deliver Me from Nowhere/S. Cooper

9) The Ballad of a Small Player/Berger

10) The Love That Remains/Palmason

A little movement here and there from where things were last week.  For the moment The Secret Agent has dropped off the Ten Best...but it could return.  The Love That Remains drops down but stays on the list.  Sirat enters the list at #7.  The top three remain the same with other titles like Sentimental Value and Deliver Me from Nowhere moving up a spot.

Other possibilities: Jay Kelly, Left-Handed Girl, Frankenstein, Eleanor the Great, After the Hunt, Family Rental, Pressure, Marty Supreme, Die My Love, The Mastermind.

VARIETY'S TAKE ON VENICE

We're likely about four weeks away from the announcement of the Venice lineup and then another couple of weeks past that before we find out when the films selected will be scheduled.  Those two chunks of information can help illuminate the possible TFF lineup.

I've passed along a couple of sites that have speculated about potential Venice titles and today I add a piece from Variety with their take on what could play there.  I've scoured the article for possible TFF titles and here's what I came up with:

The Smashing Machine/B. Safdie

After the Hunt/Guadagnino

Bugonia/Lanthimos

Couture/Winocour

Jay Kelly/Baumbach

Frankenstein/Del Toro

A House of Dynamite/Bigelow

Father, Mother, Sister, Brother/Jarmusch

La Grazia/Sorrentino

ROOFMAN HAS A TRAILER

Derek Cianfrance's next film has a trailer and World of Reel suggests that it will have a presence on the fall film fest circuit including a possible play at Telluride.

WOR head honcho, Jordan Ruimy writes that:
