Projects starting to get announced now during the EFM. I wonder if we could hear something about this? Rocket Science came on board Trial of the Chicago 7 last year and shopped to buyers. Really hope this hasn't broken down.

Really hope this hasn't broken down. Rocket Science is indeed there, listed on the EFM website as participating, so here's hoping there's news.

Deadline listed a line-up of projects for sale at EFM and this wasn't included. Starting to doubt this is going ahead now unless they have delayed production until Spring/Summer.

Rocket Science has other films that were announced around the same time as this one that still haven't started production either, so it's hard to guess what's really happening.

Rocket Science has updated their site and added three new films under "Pre-Production" and Turn of Mind is also still listed, so I guess we should hold out hope until they remove it from there and IMDb.

I want to see them together onscreen whether it's this film or another one. That's the main hook for me. It's frustrating that smaller films with older actresses have such difficulty getting a green light. Just hope this one doesn't linger in pre-production status another year and then nothing happens. We've been there before and it's not fun.

It works better to have no expectation, stop predicting anything we don't know or out of control, and be surprised when the good news comes.

This honestly sounds perfect for Netflix (limited theatrical run then straight to Netflix) or HBO if they can't find a distributor for the big screen.

A number of big name projects secured distribution deals at EFM recently, including The Good Nurse w/ Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain among others. Netflix shilled out $25M for that film. I would think Rocket Science shopped Turn OF Mind at EFM and can only assume there were no takers or not enough money offered to close a deal. To your point, this project sounds ideal for a limited / Oscar qualifying run in theaters and then released to a streaming platform. I'd really love to see Bening and Pfeiffer together in a good film. I think sparks would fly.

You'd think a thriller with Pfeiffer and Bening based on a best selling novel would be a big selling point. Neither have any other projects lined up at the moment. Maybe they have pushed production back until spring/summer. Really hope this still works out as really want to see both actresses work together.

Was this ever listed as 2020 on IMDb at any point? Was filming at one point going to be in late fall?? Or was that just wishful thinking on our part? I know it was on mine ha ha but I’m trying to recall if this was ever, at any point, listed as being for 2020 on IMDb. Just wondering

I'm really sorry to say that but I don't think Bening has the same name recognition with the general public that Michelle has, so it's just not that exciting a pairing for your average moviegoer. But maybe I'm completely wrong !

You are correct, Bening never was a big commercial star like Pfeiffer was, but she is very much respected by cinephiles and is certainly more popular than most actresses, just not on the level of a Julia Roberts or women like that.

The Jackal Group still has the project listed on their site, but under "talent," they only have Bening's name. Michelle's isn't there.

Even if they get the funding for this soon, filming of ANY new project might get delayed or canceled due to the virus. It would be the right thing to do.

So the CDC just said events with 50 people or more should be cancelled for the next two months. I doubt there will be ANY filming in the U.S. or probably anywhere else for that matter for a long time, probably even more than two months. Not to mention most other things outside of the film and TV industry Yikes. Weird to live through this.

Gutting, I hate when projects are announced that sound good that never come to light. They are still listing Queenpins and Goodrich though.

It could mean some other company is going to finance it instead, but...I kind of doubt it.
