Malick’s Tree of Life pushed to 2010

via Craig Kennedy at LiC, we learn Anne Thompson is reporting Tree of Life won’t be ready in time for its previously announced Christmas release. This promise was always wishful thinking, and while it’s disappointing, we can’t be surprised or upset that a perfectionist like Terrence Malick will tweak and refine on nobody’s schedule but his own. Speculation now jumps to the next likely prestige premiere zone: Cannes, 2010. Bad news for anxious us; good news for #11 in this year’s BP pack.
