Fall is definitely underway and so is Oscar season. One contender is Brooklyn, which Fox Searchlight will release on November 4. The romantic film has been getting rave reviews and is the result of a international co-production between companies in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Canada. In addition to Oscars, studios are also releasing films to capitalize on the Thanksgiving holiday with the final installment of the Hunger Games hitting the scene early on November 20 before The Good Dinosaur and Creed give it a run for its box office money. In other film news AFI and AFM are once again planned for November. Before AFM even opens its doors at the Loews in Santa Monica, news is already leaking out of films to be sold at the market with Natalie Dormer set to star in the indie thriller In Darkness and Ryan Reynolds in final talks to star in Truth in Advertising.
So, take a look below for your guide to the happenings this month and let us know in the comments below if there’s events we should also check out.
