"Tree of Life" release date reached: Fall 2011



JSHDFKHIUEGIFOCYE*(*#HF*(H@#(. Sorry, that was just the tail end of my rage stroke. Fox Searchlight, the indie distributors behind such Oscar hits as Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, and Slumdog Millionaire, have acquired the release rights for Terrence Malick's Tree of Life, which was recently compared to that Kubrick movie set in space. That's great news, especially after word had hit that the original distributor, Apparition, was in financial trouble.

But the good news stops there; Fox Searchlight won't put the film in theaters for the (semi) regular public until about a year from now. Word is, however, that the film could make a debut at next year's Cannes Film Festival, which would at least give us some reviews (and maybe a trailer/clip) to read over and over again. Is it really too much to ask for Martin Scorcese, Clint Eastwood, Darren Aronofsky, the Coen brothers, and Terrence Malick in one year? I think not, but hell, at least we know we'll be getting something closer to whatever Malick's full vision is for this project. For the full article, hop on over to /Film. In the mean time, I'll be busy making this face:
