This woman was born to be a goddess of cinema and a goddess she is. I hope she wins her third Oscar with Carol.
The campaigns for CAROL & TRUTH are already promising to be well-aimed, hardcore executions. The post-Cannes CAROL buzz never faded into the abyss and now that we have a teaser and many and more festival add-ons the noise is destined to get louder on a monthly basis.
Still curious about how TRUTH is going to be received in Toronto. Maybe she will win that 3rd Oscar sooner than Streep. Exciting times.
P.S. Trailer for TRUTH. Now. Please 🙂
per Empire Magazine:
“They faced another challenge when the film’s release date was brought forward. But according to [Matt] Damon, the typically fast-working Scott didn’t worry. “Ridley was done with the movie about two weeks after we shot!” he smiles. “I was already on to my next movie!” adds Scott. “I was starting to look for locations for my next movie, which is ********>>>>>PROMETHEUS 2<<<<*******.”
Let us say grace.
The Great Cate deserves everything!
I have to attend this damn festival soon or else I will go mad.
