Malick’s Tree of Life pushed to 2010

Posted by Ryan Adams On October - 15 - 2009

via Craig Kennedy at LiC, we learn Anne Thompson is reporting Tree of Life won’t be ready in time for its previously announced Christmas release. This promise was always wishful thinking, and while it’s disappointing, we can’t be surprised or upset that a perfectionist like Terrence Malick will tweak and refine on nobody’s schedule but his own. Speculation now jumps to the next likely prestige premiere zone: Cannes, 2010. Bad news for anxious us; good news for #11 in this year’s BP pack.

      *sigh* was really looking forward to seeing what Malick has been cooking up. Guess we’ll have to wait just a little longer…

      At first I was opposed to it being in 2009. Now I’m opposed to it being in 2010. HOWever, hopefully now Apparition can throw all its weight behind Bright Star. I suppose Cannes seems like as good a place as any to debut the film if it happens. At this point, I’m still seeing the race as:

      Up in the Air/Hurt Locker/Precious/Nine/Invictus/Education; Serious/Up; Bright Star/Single Man/Lovely Bones/Avatar

      I’m hoping both Bright Star & sight-unseen Single Man make it in…

      Man…that really sucks….this year is going to be a crappy awards season…. Hopefully nobody names just one movie….hopefully every one can get a piece of the awards pie….Slumdog Millionaire was a good movie last year don’t get me wrong it deserves what it got last year…though last year seemed kind of boring like everyone knew this movie was going to win….maybe thats why the oscars was kind of crappy?…..This year, I am hoping there isn’t just one winner, but maybe a few?……Who knows whats going to happen, this kind of sucks, because I was actually pushing this movie to be one of the best pictures of the year….however, things happen, and there’s really no body can do about it, but just watch and observe.

      “I caught The Hurt Locker again last night. What a great film. Kathryn Bigelow is probably the most deserving of the nominees. I think if Cameron does pull off the upset, I don’t think sexism will be the problem. I think box office receipts and a concern with AMPAS trying to be “relevant” with the general public will be the actual result. Which brings me to this issue:

      I do not understand why some critics out there think that the Academy should pick films that are more mainstream? I heard a commentator the other day saying that the 2008 (No Country for Old Men) ceremony was one of the most boring telecasts in the Academy’s history. Yes, it had their lowest ratings ever. But even if this makes me come off as snobbish, that explanation is a bunch of horseshit. 2007 was a great year in movies, and if LCD (lowest common denominator) critics and audiences don’t like it, tough.

      Since I consider myself a film buff, it doesn’t bother me when the Academy pick films that general audiences may have a problem with. Let us be honest, your average film goer usually does not have the greatest taste in the world. And “difficult” films are usually more profound and original.

      On a side note, I finally got around to seeing Julie & Julia this morning. Meryl Streep SHOULD NOT win the Oscar this year. That performance was ok, but not her greatest. Her performance in Doubt was a lot better. Mulligan and Sidibe should be the two actresses vying for the award, but that certainly is not the case. Honestly, I think I will be disappointed if Streep or Bullock win this year. Neither performance was that spectacular, in relation to the competition.”
