ONE love, blood, life
It was announced today that Bono will indeed present U2 3D at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival next month. According to the festival's press kit, there will be a midnight screening of the film, which has a listed running time of 55 minutes..........
From Time Out:
Cannes line-up announced-
David Fincher's 'Zodiac'The line-up for the 60th Cannes Film Festival has been announced, and it's a US heavy line-up, with Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, Gus Van Sant and the Coen brothers all having films in competition.
Tarantino is to bring an extended version of his 'Grindhouse' horror 'Death Proof', Fincher will present 'Zodiac', Gus Van Sant has 'Paranoid Park' playing while the Coen brothers return to the festival with 'No Country For Old Men'.
Europe is also well represented, through Fatih Akin ('Auf der anderen Seite des Lebens'), Emir Kusturica ('Promise Me This'), Catherine Breillat ('Une Vieille Maitresse') and Bela Tarr ('The Man from London').
Elsewhere, Harmony Korine and Barbet Schroeder have films in the Un Certain Regard section ('Mister Lonely' and 'L'Avocat de la terreur' respectively), while the always controversial Abel Ferrara has 'Go Go Tales' playing as a midnight screening.
The opening night film is Wong Kar Wai's English-language debut 'My Blueberry Nights' (which marks the acting debut of American songbird Norah Jones) while Denys Arcand's 'The Age of Darkness' will close proceedings.
As far as glamour goes, the 'Ocean's Thirteen' gang will doubtless be in town for the premiere of their new movie, while modern-day Mother Teresa Bono will present concert flick 'U2-3D'.
Michael Winterbottom will be flying the British flag with 'A Mighty Heart', while perhaps the most high-profile film of the fest will be Michael Moore's attack on America's health system 'Sicko'.
Cannes runs from May 16 to 27, with Stephen Frears serving as jury president, and team Time Out will be sending back daily blogs from the festival.
