With only hours ago before the official selection for the Main Competition is announced, we’ve narrowed our final predictions to the following titles that we’re crystal-balling as the films that will be included on Thierry Fremaux’s highly anticipated list. Despite an obvious drought of Asian auteurs (we’re thinking the rumored frontrunner Takashi Miike won’t be included in tomorrow’s list) who’s to say there won’t be some definite surprises, like Jia Zhang-ke’s A Touch of Sin last year.
Several hopefuls appear not to be ready in time, including Malick, Hsou-hsien, Cristi Puiu, and Innarritu, to name a few. But there does appear to be a high quantity of exciting titles from some of cinema’s leading auteurs. We’re still a bit tentative about whether Xavier Dolan’s latest, Mommy, will get a main competition slot—instead, we’re predicting another surprise,...

Foxcatcher
Director: Bennett Miller
Writers: Dan Futterman and E. Max Frye
Producers: Miller, Likely Story’s Anthony Bregman, Annapurna Pictures’ Megan Ellison, Jon Kilik
U.S. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
Cast: Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Michael Hall, Vanessa Redgrave, Tara Subkoff
Slotted at the #24 slot on last year’s list, word is that the team needed more time fine-tuning this, or the decision was made easier with films such as American Hustle in the way. Bennett Miller ranks among the better dramatic directors in Hollywood; this 2008 Blacklist named project should be of the same caliber as Miller’s Capote and Moneyball.
Gist: Based on the true story of John du Pont, a paranoid schizophrenic who was heir to the du Pont fortune. After building a wrestling training facility named Team Foxcatcher on his Pennsylvania estate, Du Pont shot and killed Olympic gold medal-winning grappler David Schulz.

One of the most anticipated late-year releases, Bennett Miller.s true crime story Foxcatcher was almost certainly going to show up in the Oscar race, as the Academy was very kind (in nominations) to both of Miller.s previous features, 2005.s Capote and 2011.s Moneyball. But it doesn.t look like that.s the case anymore, Sony Pictures has announced that they are pushing the planned December release of Foxcatcher off until 2014. This is the point in which I jump up and down, beating my chest, yelling, .Are you kidding me?. In Foxcatcher Steve Carell stars as John du Pont in the most atypical role of his career. Du Pont, he of an extremely wealthy family, was a Pennsylvania ornithologist and sports fan who sponsored USA Wrestling and eventually built an amateur wrestling compound in Newtown Square, Delaware. He allowed his friend and world champion wrestler David Schulz, played by...
