A small indie drama getting released in the fall isn't really news. But when the very press release for that film shouts "Nominate me for an Oscar!", it's at least an oddity. The Michelle Monaghan drama Trucker hit the festival circuit last year, and now has been picked up by Monterey Media, which will release the film October 9.
The press release crows that the date puts the film "right into the middle of the fall awards season," which is a pretty clever way of getting people to say "Could Michelle Monaghan be nominated?" before most people have even seen the film. To be fair, the pulled press quotes in the release are positive; the words "unforgettable" and "star-making are tossed around freely." Looking at Erik Davis' full review at Cinematical, you may notice they conveniently left out the part where he suggests that "I'm not sure there's enough hurt and dirt in the part to get her a[n Oscar] nod."
