Trade Round-Up: We're Happy Jodie Foster Is Working Again
· Unlike the Hollywood whorefests at Sundance and Toronto, the four-day Telluride Film Festival is still about the "love of cinema" and its lineup is shrouded in secrecy. Boo! We think a frustrated acquisitions exec just crapped his pants. [Variety]
· Meanwhile, the completely unsecretive Toronto fest announces its lineup. [Variety]
· FX picks up third season of Rescue Me, allowing us still more time to put off finally checking out one of the episodes piling up in the TiVo. [THR]
· Var uses the phrase "urban suspense thriller" twice in four sentences to describe potential Jodie Foster vehicle The Brave One. In addition to its apparent suspenseful, urban qualities, vigilantism is involved. [Variety]
· National Lampoon taps Diedrich Bader and Nicole Eggert, the spiritual heirs of John Belushi and the vintage Chevy Chase, for National Lampoon's Cattle Call. [THR]
