Telluride Film Festival adds ‘Butter’ to line-up!
Sat, 09.03.11 | 4:16:08 am
It looks like ‘Butter’ will have its world premiere at Telluride this weekend before screening at Toronto International Film Festival 2011 on Sept 13th!
One of the last-minute sneaks at Telluride this year will be Butter, an ensemble comedy that the Weinstein Co. is releasing.
Jennifer Garner and producer Michael De Luca are up in the mountains to give the film, directed by Jim Field Smith and written by Jason Micallef, a first showing. Olivia Wilde, Hugh Jackman, Ashley Greene, Ty Burrell and Alicia Silverstone also star in the comedy about a small town butter-carving competition.
Butter will most likely get the open slot on Saturday night at the same time as the George Clooney retrospective, having its world premiere at Telluride instead of Toronto.
Ashley Greene is featured along with Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Olivia Wilde, Elizabeth Olsen, Mia Wasikowska and Rooney Mara in Company Magazine’s ‘Young Hollywood’ September 2011 issue:

Butter to Premiere at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)
Tue, 07.26.11 | 9:34:24 am
The line-up for the 36th annual Toronto International Film Festival was announced today and Ashley’s film Butter is among the official selections!
Butter, World Premiere (dir. Jim Field Smith)
Set in the highly competitive world of championship butter carving, Butter blends social commentary, outrageous comedy and heartfelt drama in telling the story of the ambitious Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), the self-anointed First Lady of Butter Carving.
Refusing to accept that her husband (Ty Burrell) wants to step down after his 15-year run as the “Iowa State Butter Carving Champion,” and therefore end the Pickler family‟s reign in the spotlight, Laura takes a stab at the title herself. But her bid for glory is
complicated when two unlikely contestants enter the race – one, her husband‟s hard-living mistress (Olivia Wilde ), and the other a 10-year-old foster child named Destiny (Yara Shahidi). Enlisting the help of her high school sweetheart, Boyd (Hugh Jackman), Laura will stop at nothing to be crowned champion, even if it means resorting to sabotage. Part political satire, part Capra-esque comedy, Butter is a story about what it means to win at all costs and against all odds.
The festival takes place from 8-18 of September.
