Cannes 2023 Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

As the Cannes market heats up before the Cannes Film Festival starts next Friday, another film goes up for sale on the Croisette. Variety reports that Village Roadshow Pictures joins the market now with the epic romance “Eternal Return.” And the film has three intriguing actors as its leads: “Aladdin” breakout actress Naomi Scott, the legendary Jeremy Irons, and “Game Of Thrones” alumnus Kit Harington.

Just because a film premieres out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival doesn’t mean it’s not a must-watch. For example, take the fest’s Un Certain Regard section, which aims to curate films that exemplify the richness and diversity of different cinema cultures worldwide.

The Cannes Film Festival can be daunting. Sure, there are always 25-plus titles you know, but dozens of titles you’ve never heard of and don’t know if they’re worth seeing or covering.

Despite only releasing two previous feature films, filmmaker Wei Shujun has already become a favorite of the Cannes Film Festival. And now, with his third film, “Only the River Flows,” the relatively new filmmaker has scored a Cannes Hat Trick (to borrow a sports phrase).

Legendary Japanese actor-director Takeshi Kitano returns to the Croisette for the first time this year since 2010, when his film “Outrage” competed for the coveted Palme d’Or. And while “Kubi,” Kitano’s latest directorial effort, may premiere out of competition at the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival this month, The Film Stage still think it’ll be a festival highlight.

The 76th Festival de Cannes already had a jury president in two-time Palme d’Or winner Ruben Ostlünd. It now has eight more members to fill out its jury.

It’s been nearly four years since Todd Haynes released a new narrative feature film. Thankfully, that’s changing later this year with the release of his new film, “May December.”  READ MORE: ‘Superstar’: Todd Haynes Says His Banned Carpenters Movie May Finally Get An Official Release And with a Cannes debut on the horizon for Todd Haynes’ “May December,” Variety has just published a first-look photo of the new film which stars Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman.

As the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival looms, a cavalcade of previews for films in competition for the coveted Palme d’Or arrives. Here’s one from the first wave of titles: Karim Aïnouz‘s “Firebrand,” which stars Alicia Vikander as Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of England’s King Henry VIII.

As Martin Scorsese‘s “Killers Of The Flower Moon” approaches its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, Osage News reports that Apple Original Films has three new images from the film. It’s about time, too: only one official still emerged after the movie started production in Oklahoma two years ago, hardly enough to satiate anticipation for the upcoming film.

James Mangold‘s “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny” will have its world premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18: a prestige showing for a prestige franchise. Or what was once a prestige franchise? Fifteen years after 2008’s “Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Cyrstal Skull,” it’s hard to tell how much cultural caché Lucasfilm‘s storied series still has.

Pedro Almódovar is one of the greatest living filmmakers, and there aren’t many people out there who would disagree. And though his films have captivated audiences all over the world throughout his career, he has only barely dipped his toes into English-language filmmaking, debuting the short film, “The Human Voice,” in 2020.

A little under two weeks ago, the Cannes Film Festival unveiled its lineup for the upcoming event. However, as we know with film festivals, the initial lineup is far from complete and more films can be added at any time.

Good news, Quentin Tarantino fans: THR reports that the director will present a “secret screening” at the Cannes Film Festival this month. Is it “The Movie Critic,” QT’s purported tenth and final film? No, of course not; he plans to start shooting that later this year.

Last week, the initial lineup for the Cannes Film Festival was released. There were some heavy hitters involved in that announcement, as per usual when it comes to one of the biggest showcases of cinema in the world.

Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda is a Cannes Film Festival regular at this point, with five of his last nine features premiering on the Croisette. Moreover, Kore-eda’s film do well at the fest, too: 2013’s “Like Father, Like Son” won the Jury Prize that year, while “Shoplifters” won the coveted Palme d’Or in 2018.

Any guesses on what film will close the 2023 Cannes Film Festival? How about the upcoming Disney/Pixar movie “Elemental“? If that sounds outlandish, remember that the festival has picked three other Pixar movies over the years: “Up,” “Inside Out,” and “Soul,” respectively.

Last week, after much speculation, we finally were given the initial lineup for this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Of course, the main lineup typically features the biggest names in film and this year is no different, with a new ‘Indiana Jones’ film as well as new films from directors like Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson.

Kicking off on May 16, the Cannes Film Festival is around the corner, and the lineup was announced this morning alongside the names of six female filmmakers that will be participating this year that have films in competition. It’s a small number, but a new record for the festival.

Next month will see the Cannes Film Festival return and give us early glimpses of high-profile/awards-caliber films ahead of their official releases, and many will be premiered at the event. With that in mind, there are some interesting tidbits in a recent Screen Daily interview with Thierry Fremaux, the festival’s delegate general.

After a stellar 2022 edition, the Cannes Film Festival is gearing up for its 76th edition next month. Today, Iris Knobloch, President of the Festival de Cannes, and Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate, revealed most of the In Competition, Un Certain Regard, and Out of Competition slates.

Pedro Pascal is having a career year in 2023 with HBO‘s “The Last Of Us” and the return of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+ for its third season. But the year isn’t even a quarter of the way over, and up next, the actor may have his most intriguing project of 2023 yet.

The Cannes Film Festival announces its Official Selections for its 76th edition next Thursday, but fans already know about some movies premiering on the Croisette this year.  Martin Scorsese‘s “Killers Of The Flower Moon” will be at the festival, for instance, as will James Mangold‘s “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny.” And the opening film for Cannes 2023 has already been confirmed, too: Maïwenn‘s “Jeanne du Barry,” which also serves as the onscreen return for Johnny Depp.

The Cannes Film Festival is giving a boost to Johnny Depp‘s attempted film industry comeback. Organizers announced today that Maïwenn‘s historical drama “Jeanne du Barry,” which features Depp as King Louis XV, will open the 76th edition of the famed festival on Tuesday, May 16.

Disney and Lucasfilm are really hoping to send the “Indiana Jones” franchise off into the sunset with a bit of a bang.

Rumors began to swirl in February that Apple and Martin Scorsese eyed a 2023 Cannes Film Festival world premiere for Scorsese’s latest, “Killers Of The Flower Moon.” Now those rumors are official: Deadline confirms that “Flower Moon” indeed gets to stride down the Croisette for a premiere screening on May 20, in the Grand Théâtre Lumière, as part of festival. READ MORE: Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’ Gets An October Release Date It’s not clear right now if “Flower Moon” will be in competition or not for the coveted Palme d’Or, Cannes’ top prize; the festival will clarify that at their mid-April press conference.

Without seeing one frame of Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” people were already predicting two things. 1) The film is going to be quirky as hell (duh).

It’s nearly time for the Cannes Film Festival to release the titles for this year’s edition and the 76th one overall. So are there any upcoming movies cinephiles may bet on as a sure thing on the Croisette this year? Outside of Hirokazu Kore-eda‘s “Monster,” not really.

Alice Winocour‘s “Revoir Paris,” or its English title “Paris Memories,” bowed at the Cannes Film Festival last May to general acclaim. And later on, star Virginie Efira nabbed a César for her performance.

Just last week, it was reported that Apple TV+ is expected to send “Killers of the Flower Moon” to this year’s Cannes. While that has yet to be confirmed, a new report from Variety throws some more films into the mix as possible additions to this year’s event.

The 76th Cannes Film Festival is less than 12 weeks away and while rumors are flying about what films will screen and which films won’t, an important step in the process has officially taken place. The 2023 edition of the festival now has its Jury President.

Few movies coming out this year, maybe only “The Killer” and “Oppenheimer,” match the hype of Martin Scorsese‘s “Killers Of The Flower Moon.” And it’s hyped with good reason, too. The upcoming film sees Scorsese reunites with leading man Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert De Niro, as he adapts David Grann‘s acclaimed 2017 book for the big screen.
