Kerbside Remembers 'Albert Nobbs,' Prepares to Mount Late Campaign for 'Margin Call'

Scott FeinbergJanet McTeer and Glenn Close Earlier today, I'd the pleasure of investing a while in a reception in Hollywood using the folks in the film Albert Nobbs, including stars Glenn Close (who, together with John Banville, co-modified the script from the short story), Jesse McTeer (who this week started dealing with Close around the TV series Damages), and Mia Wasikowska (who had been also magnificent this season in Jane Eyre and Restless) director Rodrigo Garcia (who two times formerly directed Close and gave Wasikowska her large break by casting her around the lately canceled Cinemax show In Treatment) and composer John Byrne (who grew to become associated with the project in the native Ireland).our editor recommendsGlenn Close Scores Best Actress Prize at Tokyo, japan Film Festival for 'Albert Nobbs''Albert Nobbs' Trailer: Glenn Close Dons Drag to experience 19th-Century British Butler (Video) The big event was located by Kerbside Points of interest, the little studio that led The Cove (2009) to some best documentary Oscar 2 yrs ago and Winter's Bone (2010) to best picture, best actress, best supporting actor, and finest modified script Oscar nominations this past year. This season, they're strongly pushing Nobbs, with the expectation of scoring Close a best actress jerk (and perhaps work-acknowledgement victory) and McTeer a best supporting actress jerk -- and, they made the decision within the last 48-hrs, another film, too: Margin Call, that was written and directed beginning with-time filmmaker J.C. Chandor featuring an amazing ensemble cast brought by Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore, and Mary McDonnell. STORY: Glenn Close's Passion Project 'Albert Nobbs' Premieres Margin Call, that was designed for just $3.5 million and shot in only 17 days in NY City, opened in the Sundance Film Festival in The month of january. Kerbside and Lionsgate acquired its distribution privileges throughout the festival, then required the film towards the Berlin Film Festival, and ultimately launched it at the same time in choose theaters as well as on VOD on October 21. Passionate reviews from the 3 high-profile experts and timely subject material assisted to elicit strong turnout at movie houses and phenomenal interest on VOD (that's the way i first viewed it the 2009 week), and also the resulting word-of-mouth buzz and media attention have convinced the studio the film -- which received a best ensemble Gotham Honours jerk earlier this year -- includes a quite strong shot at garnering major honours attention within the coming days and several weeks: a best ensemble SAG jerk along with a best original script Oscar jerk being probably the most realistic targets possibly best supporting actor SAG/Globe/Oscar nods for Irons and/or Spacey (although both of them are presently working overseas and for that reason not able to complete all the glad-handing that effective honours campaigns usually demand) and, unlikely although not impossible, a best picture Oscar jerk. STORY: Glenn Close on Existence, Work, and the possibilities of Oscar Recognition for 'Albert Nobbs' Consequently, screeners happen to be mailed towards the HFPA, with other people for SAG and also the Academy still in route Quinto does SAG Q&As and can most likely attend the Gothams, possibly with Irons along with other people from the cast and Kerbside is beginning to purchase advertisements on various websites that could be read by honours voters. Quite simply, they're all in.
