Ready or not, the Oscar Equinox is upon us: The Venice Film Festival is underway, the Telluride Film Festival launches this weekend, and the Toronto International Film Festival commences a week from tomorrow.

You’ve read the glowing reviews , you’ve heard about the crowds . But starting this weekend, it’s easier than ever to see Midnight in Paris , the late-era masterpiece from Woody Allen.

Joaquin Phoenix Schedules David Letterman Rematch

Mark September 22 down on your Tivo schedule as the day that Joaquin Phoenix will return to the Late Show with David Letterman , this time to promote his unsettling new documentary I’m Still Here . The actor/rapper last appeared on the show in February 2009 in one of the greatest late night segments of the decade . By the time the segment wrapped, the Late Show host was asking his cranky guest about the Unabomber and threatening to show up at Phoenix’s house to chew gum. [ Vulture ]

Woody Allen Didn’t Cut Carla Bruni From His Movie

Perhaps you’ve heard the rumors that Woody Allen spent so much time directing French first lady Carla Bruni for his new Midnight in Paris that he had her replaced with actress Lea Seydoux? “This is a hundred percent untrue,” the director said in Toronto this weekend. “Everything she shot is in the picture. I love her. She’s great. It’s not a big part, but it’s a respectable part. Everything was totally made up. Now, I did hire another actress late in the picture for another part, for a totally different role. They’re both in the picture…I’m used to celebrity journalism, and I’ve had my share of untrue things printed. But this one was really one of the craziest.” [ HuffPo ]

In Break from Tradition, Woody Allen Actually Announces New Film’s Title and Plot

Woody Allen is hardly in the business of making tightly guarded fanboy tentpoles or highly anticipated sequels, but by the veil of secrecy he hangs over each project, you’d never know it. Cast lists, plots and titles are often scarce on his movies until close to the release date (Anthony Hopkins didn’t even know the title of the film he just made with Allen until a few weeks ago), but apparently, Allen has something new up his sleeve for the Owen Wilson/Rachel McAdams film he’s about to shoot: total candor.
