Hollywood and Cannes Film Festival

Clint Eastwood’s film “The Changeling“, starring Angelina Jolie as a woman searching for her missing son in 1920s Los Angeles and “Synechdoche, New York,” screenwriter Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut.joins a competition list.

Steven Soderbergh, who took the top Cannes award in 1989 for “Sex, Lies and Videotape“, won a race against time to complete his four-hour epic “Che“, on the life of the revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara in time for the festival.

Steven Soderbergh’s inclusion looks like a last-minute decision. He competes with two pic ”Che” bio - “The Argentine” and “Guerrilla”

As predicted, Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” world preems down on the Croisette, possibly on Sunday May 18. It promises this fest’s must-attend, highest-glam event.

Thierry Fremaux, the festival’s head said the presence of Steven Spielberg and the stars of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, which will premiere outside the main competition, would ensure “a magnificent red carpet”.

Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and George Lucas are expected to join Spielberg on the steps outside the Palais des Festivals, guaranteeing the kinds of flashing cameras that add essential glamour to the festival’s arthouse fare.

Out-of-competition, DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda,” an adventure, comedic chop-soc tooner, promises another Hollywood red-carpet cavalcade.

Also non-competing, as is Woody Allen’s custom, is the Spain-shot “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”

After its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, the Hollywood satire “What Just Happened?” will get a second chance at Cannes - closing night, but we are not sure yet because organizers said they would announce the movies that open and close the festival in a few days.

Robert De Niro stars an embattled Hollywood producer whose life falls apart during one turbulent week. In a life-imitating-art turn, the film’s climactic scene takes place at the Cannes Film Festival, with the producer’s fictional movie-within-a-movie opening the event.

“What Just Happened?” also stars Catherine Keener as a tough-as-nails studio chief and features a number of stars, including Sean Penn and Bruce Willis, playing themselves in self-parodying roles. Barry Levinson directs from an adaptation of “Into the Wild” producer Art Linson’s memoir.

The film generated strong buzz going into January’s Sundance Film Festival, and was expected to sell for a significant seven-figure sum. But the movie received a mixed critical.

Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz at 61th Cannes Film Festival

It’s been confirmed that Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz will attend the Cannes Film Festival to support director Woody Allen’s new film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” which will not be in competition.

Vicky and Cristina, two young American girls, go to spend the summer in Barcelona. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married.

Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a free-spirit and very sexually adventurous. They meet a flamboyant, Spanish artist (Javier Bardem) and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penelope Cruz).

They all become involved in romantic adventures that are either hilarious or harrowing, depending on your point of view.

Scarlett also glammed up the Cannes carpets with Allen in 2005 for “Match Point,” the suspense thriller that started their ongoing film collaboration.

‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ in English - Spain are unhappy

Filmmaker Woody Allen is at the centre of a language row in Spain over his new film ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona‘.

Officials in Spain are unhappy because Allen’s latest film will be screened in the country in English, despite two of the lead actors, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, being Spanish.

The film will be shown in Spain with subtitles, which has angered locals in Barcelona as 10% of the film’s budget has come from their city hall and Catalan taxpayers.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona will reportedly feature an “extremely erotic” love scene between stars Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.

Penelope shared a kiss…

On July 2nd, 2007. Woody Allen said about his new project in Barcelona:
“I hope I can present Barcelona to the world as I see it, the same way I presented Manhattan to the world as I saw it with my eyes. I want to write a love letter to Barcelona and from Barcelona to the world.”

Well, one very talked about ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ scene in which Scarlett Johansson shares a steamy lesbian encounter with Penelope Cruz is ineteresting ”letter”, for sure.

Because of the scene, Woody Allen’s next flick, looks like it’s shaping up to be a box office winner.
