Cannes ’12: Maybe Marion Cotillard, David Cronenberg, Robert Pattinson, Jack Kerouac, Malick?
We’re getting closer to the announcement of what’s going to happen in
the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. We already know two things: Wes Anderson
is opening the festival with “Moonrise Kingdom” and Woody Allen is not
going with the newly named “To Rome with Love.” But here are some
thoughts from various sources. They do say “Rust & Bone” with Marion
Cotillard is in. So, too, is David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” with
Robert Pattinson of “Twilight” fame. High on everyone’s list is Walter
Salles’s film of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.” Another name mentioned is
popular Cannes filmmaker Michael Haneke, with “Amour” starring Isabelle
Huppert. Then there’s the matter of Terrence Malick. He has two movies
in post-production, one with Ben Affleck and Jessica Chastain (among
others) which was thought to have been finished before “Tree of Life”
was released. Any more ideas? Let me know at roger@showbiz411.com
