Colin Farrell (above) and Joel Edgerton both start to climb after the world premiere of the trailer for Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives, the story of the race against time to save a group of Thai boys and their soccer coach who are trapped in flooding underground caves. Their co-star and three-time Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen could show up here but feels like he could be pushed in lead. The story was worldwide news and turned into a 2021 documentary called The Rescue by Oscar-winning filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi.
Previous Oscar nominees Willam Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo the first major casualties of the season as Searchlight Pictures has officially moved Poor Things, from Yorgos Lanthimos, off the 2022 calendar. Look for it to premiere at Cannes or Venice next year.
Another Searchlight film, Sam Mendes’ Empire of Light, is currently TBA for the studio but Mendes put 1917 into post-production at just about the same time as Empire entered it this year and he was able to get the multi-nominated and Oscar-winning film out by year’s end. That status boosts Brendan Gleeson in Martin McDonaugh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, yet another Searchlight film. That one will be released in October.
Here are my 2023 Oscar predictions in Supporting Actor for June 2022.
