I'm done speculating and making conjectures I have no idea what's going on. Telluride? NYFF? LA Film Festival (September 20-28, 2018) because it's such an LA film? Who knows. I'll sit tight with bated breath L.A Film Festival! Right! The movie must be there! If it goes to Telluride and Los Angeles it could be a good combo. For Rome FF, Lion was there when it was released. I'm confident Boy Erased will be there too. Of course, not as World Premiere, i still hope for Toronto.

I'm totally votary for this movie. It's amazing how she want to talk about it in every kind of situation, interview, award speech, since the past year, saying how much means acting for her. She never had this such reaction for an upcoming role. I need this film in my life now!

I agree, misstoker. The fact that she has been mentioning this movie in every single speech/interview is what has me more excited about it.

I have to admit, I'm a little concerned about Annapurna at the moment... They seem to be making decisions that make little sense. They unceremoniously moved their Richard Linklater/Cate Blanchett vehicle 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' to next year with no official announcement or any explanation why, even though the film is finished, already had a release date in October and had already been successfully screened twice. People on AW who had attended the screenings were even predicting Blanchett to be in the Best Actress race this year (like Kidman), but they still moved it for some reason. Then the President of Annapurna all of a sudden left the company last month out of the blue. And now they seem to be handling the release of Destroyer a little strangely too, with random Christmas 2018 and 2019 release dates popping up on IMDb... I really hope there aren't in-house issues that are effecting their movie slate... Maybe it would have been best if Destroyer went to Amazon instead? Long time lurker, first time poster btw. Hi to you all, this is a great Kidman board!

Hi to you all, this is a great Kidman board! not to forget to mention the surprise Venice entry The Ballad of Buster Scruggs by the Coen brothers, it was originally meant as a tv show but now has transformed into an awards race movie for Annapurna. things do seem quite hectic over there. oh and welcome!

Thanks! I didn't realize that about The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, that's even more concerning. I'm really hoping they haven't moved back other projects to focus on that for awards season...

I should have known it would not make the Venice competition line-up, but I wanted her back in Venice for some reason.
Apparently it's a very L.A. movie, this type of film play better in North American festivals.
It can still be screened at the Toronto Film Festival, they have yet to announce some titles.
But maybe post-production takes longer than expected and they take it to Sundance, who knows ?
Also next year's Best Actress race might be less crowded, she might have a better shot at a win than this year IF the film is good.

Calm down guys before you give yourselves heart attacks. The people who make these decisions have more insight and experience than any of us, so let's just wait it out and see what happens. I don't know why people are so gung go about festivals anyway. It's not like Nicole has had much success with films premiering at Cannes/Venice or even Toronto. The point of those places is to build hype- she's Nicole Kidman, for Christ sake!- there's hype for her movies before they're even filmed.

Agreed, With Jado, lady Satine and mwof
what the hell filming only wrapped this year and now we're getting Grace of Monaco comparisons.
Don't stress guys Kidman has had a wonderful couple of years so whatever her latest projects ends up as let's just appreciate that she's still putting out exciting work for us.

I firmly believe that Grace wouldn't have gotten the reception it did at Cannes if it hadn't been for the negativity preceding between Weinstein and the director. And I think had the film not gotten such a bad reception at Cannes, it would have been treated kinder by critics on release. The critics are like sheep.
