The other thing that he couldn't count on was SURPRISE CORONAVIRUS!

It's only 5 days. I mean, if there is only indoor shooting left, maybe they can do it.
Whatever, 5 days is not such a big deal.

Wrapped shooting last night.
When/how soon is this coming out? They got a lot of editing done during quarantine, I believe. They also went to the virtual Cannes market with a sizzle reel and either didn't get picked up or we don't know about it....

Focus snapped that up real quick. I'll add it to the list.

Hahaha, yeah, I saw this yesterday. Schrader's messy on social media and I think Focus wants to keep a real tight leash on him. Could be a sign that this is a proper contender.

This means they have high hopes for this, I guess.

Some dumbass on the 2nd day of promotions will say to Schrader - "Paul, I love Taxi Driver but have always been bothered by the lack of representation and in particular this scene which I personally find highly .......... problematic" ...........and Schrader will freak out........and possibly kill the "journalist"

September date doesn't give me a confidence but yeah. It's also interesting that Dafoe is getting a Walk of Fame star next year. Now I wonder if it's a campaign move for this or "Nightmare Alley".

damn this guy makes me want to join Twitter and follow him cause not only is he a very talented screenwriter/ director but he is funny as hell (does not hold anything back at all haha. It is quite refreshing actually) I dug the hell out of his last two films that he wrote/directed (Dod Eat Dog & First Reformed). I found both of those films to be insanely entertaining. A number of critics felt he went off the deep end with the subject matter in both of those films but I welcomed every second of it. Here is hoping The Card Counter delivers the goods!

www.worldofreel.com/blog/2021/7/5ldkuke39zc3p6ncbq4osy4c711zq7 Word on the street is that Paul Schrader spilled the beans at a recent Q&A that his upcoming “The Card Counter” will be premiering at the Venice and Telluride Film Festivals in early September. The guy can’t ever shut his trap, but that’s why we love him.

Now I wonder if it's a campaign move for this or "Nightmare Alley".I'd be shocked if he got nominated or pushed for Nightmare Alley - in the book that's a pivotal but small role - it's actually a (very) memorable one scene role that sets up the narrative momentum .......it's one of the most memorably written parts of the novel and the novel is amazing Now of course it could have been expanded for Dafoe though I'm not sure exactly how to do that without keeping the main point..........Blanchett on the other hand ...........

Once again, they should move it to December. If they are that confident about it that they are premiering at Venice and Telluride, why killing the buzz and momentum by releasing so early in September??

If they are that confident about it that they are premiering at Venice and Telluride, why killing the buzz and momentum by releasing so early in September?? Because it's probably not a movie that will do well in December. There's a reason they release films in certain months/period of the year, and it has to do with the market, the competition, and historical precedent of what sort of films do well and what don't. A Paul Schrader movie, regardless of its quality, is absolutely going to get lost in the shuffle in December. Furthermore, a September release off of a potentially hot Venice + Telluride combo makes it easier to pick up momentum and gain steam. It's exactly the type of movie that benefits more from an early release.

Recently? FFS. Was he just thawed out or what? linkThis is beyond moronic especially when everyone and their grandma knows you can just say "n-word" and be done with it. If you type the entire word out, you are being deliberate with the message you're trying to make. Not sure how many times certain people need to get this clue. The entire thing is a bore. The only reason why he isn't cancelled is because nobody knows who the hell he is.

The only reason why he isn't cancelled is because nobody knows who the hell he is. I mean, he gets off on being provocative. He's been bullish on Elliot Page's transition and just being generally skeevy about young actresses. So much of it feels performative just to piss off people, but again, why do that?

Of course that's his MO. IMHO, if someone goes on record and types the entire thing out when they should know better that tells me you are being an asshole on purpose and well, that gets tiring after awhile. My guess is if his movie gets any traction, it will get derailed later on because some PR firm with hold and play that card when appropriate.
