Anne Thompson reported earlier today that there’s a faint chance that Werner Herzog‘s Rescue Dawn, an action drama of sorts about an American pilot (Christian Bale) who escapes from a POW cap in the early days of the Vietnam War, may not make not make its scheduled dates at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival due to last-minute post-production snags. In Telluride a distributor told Thompson that “he had screened and liked the movie, but the film was so tied up with multiple producers and accounting issues” — the cause of many of these problems being the finagling of producer and L.A. club owner Steve Marlton — “that it would be difficult to negotiate a sale.”
