Prepping for Cannes
Michael Moore is racing to the finish line to screen his health-care doc Sicko for Cannes next week. So is Julian Schnabel, who wants to submit his French language the Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Opening night May 16, assuming Wong Kar Wai finishes in time, should be My Blueberry Nights. Closing night should be David Fincher's Zodiac. Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, James Gray's We Own the Night and No Country for Old Men, from the Coen brothers, are confirmed for the fest. Gray's film is the New York filmmaker's first in seven years.
We can expect to see out of competition screenings of Oceans Thirteen and Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, plus selected scenes from The Golden Compass, and appearances on the Croisette by Martin Scorsese and Jane Fonda--who speaks fluent French, having once been married to Roger Vadim.
In addition, Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington's U2 3D concert doc will be for sale at the market, where there will also be a thank you showing of 20 minutes of Scorsese's documentary on the Rolling Stones for all its worldwide buyers.
