Photos and some new info in The New Yorker

Going to the trouble of posting the images here because I'm a good boy:

Spoiler

[domino harvey]

Bob Balaban and Henry Winkler look fantastic in that still

[mfunk9786]

All this casting talk has buried the lede - that's the wonderful and ever weight-fluctuating Denis Ménochet over Benecio Del Toro's shoulder!

[swo17]

Guess I'll have to keep waiting for my new avatar

[mfunk9786]

Nah, Schwartzman's in it [allegedly] in a small role as a character named Hermes Jones, unless jwo17 puts us in our place

[domino harvey]

I assumed he meant since he wasn’t in the stills he can’t change it yet. We’re getting a trailer sometime this week, so I bet swo gets his chance soon

[mfunk9786]

Oh, there he is on the poster - figured his name was absent too

[domino harvey]

Who is the actor in glasses sitting next to Fisher Stevens on the couch?

[mfunk9786]

Griffin Dunne

Bingo

[domino harvey]

Griffin Dunne

Wow, thanks for that ID, I never would have gotten that. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him in anything (maybe like ~15 years ago on Law and Order: Criminal Intent?)

[mfunk9786]

He's been in a bunch of littler supporting film roles in recent years, usually playing doctors, etc. Had a small part in Teen Choice Awards nominee Ocean's 8

[domino harvey]

I saw Ocean’s 8, do not remember him in it at all

[Never Cursed]

IMDB tells me he's Sandra Bullock's parole officer at the start

[mfunk9786]

I think we all know who the real Ocean's heads are here

[Nasir007]

Is the film in the academy ratio? I didn't know that.

Looks so beautiful overall!

Also Seydoux as a policewoman is such awsome casting.

[mfunk9786]

Those are production stills and not indicative of the film's aspect ratio.

Trailer releases tomorrow.

Here's the trailer.

...and now we know the photos were actually screenshots from the trailer

[mfunk9786]

Which is totally stunning. Swo - check your PMs as soon as I have a moment.

[swo17]

This looks fantastic. And I still don't know how to create my own avatars

Awards scholars: When's the last time (if indeed that's what this is) that an anthology film got a ton of Oscar attention or won Best Pic?

Swo, looks great!

[therewillbeblus]

Absolutely incredible. Couldn't be more excited for this, and the narrative style is still very much a mystery with the characters existing in both color and b&w scenes

Off the top of my head the '60s had the last major cluster of them with stuff like California Suite.
