From CinemaCon To Cannes: Has The New Oscar Season Rung Its First Bell?
With a date for the oscars just announced plus the CinemaCon convention this week and Cannes Announcement has the race already begun?
The great majority of movies showcased in the various studio presentations are squarely aimed at impressing theatre owners with their potential boxoffice muscle, and that means there was a lot of sequels, reboots, horror, and animation on display. Paramount, based on the footage, has one real contender with Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, the long awaited followup to his 2000 Best Picture winner, this time with Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and others. Meanwhile the Cannes announcement also gave me real hope for the season with the aforementioned Furioso and Horizon premieres, not to mention Francis Ford Coppola’s return to the Croisette with Megalopolis, already much talked about and dissected on social media following its screening to buyers and friends.
