The slate for this year’s Cannes Film Festival has been announced, with a mix of films that will bring in a raft of unexpected American stars (as well as Cannes perennial Brad Pitt). Who knows–one of them might distinguish him- or herself–after all, last year Bring It On star Kirsten Dunst shocked the world with her Melancholia performance and took home the Best Actress prize. Could the same happen for, say, Kristen Stewart?
He's in John Hillcoat's "Lawless," which is shockingly not short for "Transformers: Lawless."
...while her paramour and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson promotes David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis." We'll stay off gossip blogs for the duration of the festival, maybe?
The starlet will bring her sneer to the Croisette, where she's promoting Walter Salles's "On the Road" adaptation...
The teenybopper has been trying to transition to adult roles--and gets a big shot at artistic legitimacy in Lee Daniels's "The Paperboy." (Director Lee Daniels is himself a bit of a surprising addition--but two films ago, he had Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Helen Mirren playing a stepmother-stepson Oedipal pair of hitmen in "Shadowboxer.")
Live Free or Die Hard or Star in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," which opens the festival.
The 'Dazed and Confused' star is double-dipping at Cannes with Jeff Nichols's "Mud" and "The Paperboy." Who'd have seen the McConaughssaince coming even a year ago?
