I really thought about drafting The Grand Budapest Hotel, but there's no way they're going to release it before May of 2014, is there?

I was considering it too. The film is in post-production but I think Fox will save it for Cannes. I threw it in anyway since it's almost complete.

There's a few others you could possibly add, not sure on their potential to be released, mind:

A Many Splintered Thing
Child 44
Hunter Killer
The American Can

I can't see The American Can being ready by April (it's set during Katrina so there will a lot of visual effects on it) while I'd be surprised if Child 44 wasn't scheduled for the Summer (the director's last film grossed over $100 million and Easy Money did serviceable numbers in limited release). Hunter Killer won't be ready anytime soon but I will include the other one you mentioned.

I've got a few that I don't think were drafted in Division A. And, I'll put the disclaimer on it that Surfer did, I have no idea if they will be released in time:

Nymphomaniac
Knight of Cups
Nailed
Red Machine
Reasonable Doubt
Khumba

Nailed will never be finished as long as David O. Russell whines about it (fucking jerk) but I'll include it anyway.

I was strongly considering The Grand Budapest Hotel, because I'm not so sure they'll place it at Cannes, because when you look at it, Moonrise Kingdom is the only film of Anderson that went to Cannes, so it could, in fact be in a fall festival like Venice or Rome if it gets finished on time.

For the waiver list, I'd also put a few films I considered but didn't draft :

- Untitled Hugh Grant Marc Lawrence comedy
- Alex Aja's Horns
- The Rover
- True Story
- All is lost
- Under the skin
- The Young and prodigious Spivet
- Devil's knot
- Are we officially dating
- Locke
- Zulu
- Railway Man
- You are here

It's been two days since Chien added it, so I should be able to pick up Horns without using my waiver place, right?

If so, I'll take that and drop All You Need Is Kill.

Yeah, sure. You can have Horns.
