A slew of anticipated titles have not appeared at TIFF, NYFF and Venice. Does this mean a possible 2020 release for Todd Haynes‘ “Dark Waters," Josh Trank’s "Fonzo,” Jay Roach’s “Fair and Balanced" Chloe Zhao‘s “Nomadland" Reed Morano’s “The Rhythm Section,” Scott Cooper‘s “Antlers," Benh Zeitlin’s "Wendy" and Dee Rees’ "The Last Thing He Wanted"? However, before we cast these titles aside, one must look ahead at the upcoming AFI Film Festival, which has become of significant importance these last few years. Studios sometimes hold up their potential awards contenders for the very bitter end of the year and those titles tend to premiere at AFI. Also, Telluride still hasn’t announced its lineup yet, so there is reason believe that they might snatch one or two of the above-mentioned titles.
