Indiewire's chief film critic Eric Kohn talks with Thompson on Hollywood's Anne Thompson about the world of film festivals and new releases from the indie world and beyond. In this episode, they touch on recent shakeups at the Los Angeles Film Festival and the New York Film Festival's opening night film, David Fincher's "Gone Girl," which is one of several fall season movies right around the corner. Anticipating several more, the pair wonder what will happen to the buzz surrounding great movies in theaters now. They also discuss new films from Woody Allen and Zach Braff, the rise of Kickstarter-financed film productions, and Rupert Murdoch's attempts to take over Time Warner. The episode concludes with another installment of "Nikki Watch," an ongoing assessment of Nikki Finke's return to the media arena. Screen Talk is now available on iTunes.
