Cannes 2012: OTR and Cosmopolis strong contenders and SWATH a possibility
Cannes is still a couple of months away so anything can happen, and much can change so this is our more level-headed, buyer-beware cautious entry into the world of speculation that tends to become engulfed in a lot of wishful thinking. All signs point to another strong festival, with a top tier list of filmmakers likely to make the journey.
Strong Contenders
“On The Road” (dir. Walter Salles)
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge, Sam Riley, Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard
With production on the film beginning way back in August 2010, and additional photography happening last spring, it has been a slow but steady path for this highly anticipated, years in development adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel. The director gave fans good news in January when he revealed that editing and mixing on the film was finally finished. And with a May 23rd release already set for France, the film’s appearance at Cannes feels like a fait accompli from our vantage point.
“Cosmopolis” (dir. David Cronenberg)
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, Jay Baruchel, Sarah GadonBefore the end of the year, David Cronenberg told us that he was finishing the sound mix for the film, which means it’s nearing the finish line. Meanwhile, producer Gregoire Melin recently told Cineuropa he is “counting on” the film showing up on the Croisette. Additionally, “Cosmopolis” is a co-production between French and Canadian backers, so we presume we’re looking at Cannes premiere, followed by a TIFF bow before rolling into theaters this fall. Cronenberg is a regular at the festival but hasn’t been there in a decade since “Spider,” so we’re sure they’re going to want him back.
The possibilities
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth
Again, Cannes is no stranger to hosting blockbusters and the last two years have seen summer movies “Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Robin Hood” unspool in the south of France. Will “Snow White And The Huntsman” fill that slot this year? With the film set to open on June 1st (just a few days after Cannes closes) the timing seems right, and a splashy premiere would be a nice final topping on what is already a steady publicity machine behind the pic.
OTR clips will be shown at Cannes market. . .

OTR FILM Tweets: We probably won't be able to see/view the clips for a while so don't expect to see them online anytime soon. They'll probably write up mini reviews from the clips. But, who knows? Maybe we'll get something (stills maybe?) from them real soon.

'On The Road' predicted to be at Cannes Film Festival in 2011
Kristen Stewart at Cannes Film Festival?
IONCinemas have made their 2011 Cannes Film Festival predictions and listed is:
On the Road - Walter Salles
Loaded with names you want on the red carpet, Salles a Cannes habitual will bring Francis Ford Coppola with him in a crazy world preem. Written by Jose Rivera, this is based on Jack Kerouac classic 1957 novel, which played a role in giving rise to the Beat movement, is narrated by Kerouac's thinly veiled alter ego Sal Paradise, who gets inspired to hit the road and see America. The story follows his ups and downs as he hitchhikes, hops trains, meets other travelers, struggles for meals and explores the themes of freedom and longing.

Fan Update From Cannes – Doesn’t Look Like Rob’s Attending
“I dont know if we can take that as an “official news” but KST (Kristin Scott Thomas) was on “Le grand journal” 2night (same show Rob did last year), they talked just few sec bout BA & showed an extract of the craziness last year for Rob but didnt mention AT ALL that he’ll be at C. this year. So its not really “official” but i think he wont B there! But who knows? mayB he’ll show up at the last minute.”

RUMOR: Robert Pattinson To Attend Cannes Film Festival?
With Robert Pattinson’s hectic schedule due to Eclipse promotions and Water For Elephants set to begin filming on May 22, it’s highly unlikely that we will be seeing him on the Cannes red carpet anytime soon. French blogs like La Page Culture and Cannes Addict are claiming, however, that Rob will indeed make an appearance. We already reported that Protagonist Pictures will promote Bel Ami in the said festival. But as for now, please take the unconfirmed news about Rob’s participation with a grain of salt.
Cannes 2010 will run from May 12 – 23.

Cannes Film Festival 2010 red carpet stars
These stars are perhaps not at the heart of the official selection at Cannes, but their arrival ensures the show on the red carpet (while the crew of the film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul er …). Without them, no global impact!
- And as Mick Jagger, Robert Pattinson, Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia), Sharon Stone …

Robert Pattinson loved the Majestic, it comes back!
Last year, it had caused riots to his arrival on the beach Majestic 62. He returned to Cannes.
Next week, the most famous vampire, promotes this occasion the third installment of the series “Twilight” and seek a distributor for the adaptation of Maupassant’s novel “Bel Ami” which also plays Uma Thurman.
Robert Pattinson interpreter Georges Duroy, a young social climber desperate to get a place among the cream of Parisian society of the late 19th century. Uma Thurman, singer Madeleine, one of his many conquests in the film. We hope to see this pretty glamorous couple at the Majestic 63. Welcome in Cannes
