Because a list is never done and because we were inspired to dig that bit further, we have a few more updates on potential Cannes contenders this year.

Among anticipated films it has become clear to us in recent days are unlikely to debut are Kirill Serebrennikov’s Limonov, Sean Durkin’s Iron Claw, and Kate Winslet’s Lee Miller biopic Lee.
