The festival will open with Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight in Paris’ featuring Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates and French First lady Carla Bruni who is rumored to miss the event with her pregnancy (still waiting for an official announcement).

The 11 day mouth watering event, an adorable gathering for all who love movies and the setting is perfect for a romantic date with Hollywood’s big names, already billed as ‘ a love letter’ to the French capital by the organizers.

If Cannes starts with Woody Allen’s romance, the festival will put the curtain on May 22 with a French romantic drama ‘The Beloved’ by Christophe Honore.

The other Hollywood biggy which will be showcased at Cannes is Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz; starrer 3-D adventure “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”.

This will be a real treat for all the Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) who does not miss the kohl eyed boy. The aura of ‘Pirates of Caribbean’ is still the same and many are looking forward to watch the 4th film of the series with abetted breath.

If you have been hoping for another Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly show then you probably going to miss because the duo are not featuring in the latest flick which will be releasing worldwide on May 18, 2011.

While the franchises are planning to work on two more installments of the film but they will be required to put some more blood and color in the coming ventures else it will stale. Because everything which comes first looks stunning, then second time they become routine and finally gets weary.  We just expect this could not go weary and keep the excitement pouring with Jack’s antics.

Midnight in Paris:

The title of the film, I guess tells a lot about the film for being romantic but then how romantic it turns out to be in the summers only we will get to know on May 20 when it will hit the theaters.

Midnight in Paris features Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen.

The film is directed by Woody Allen and those who haven’t seen Carla Bruni – France’s First Lady, on the celluloid this will be their chance to ogle their eyes over the French president’s beautiful wife.

Midnight in Paris is about a family on a business trip in the City of Light. As a young couple engaged to be married experiences a profound transformation during their visit to Paris, an idealistic man with a romanticized view of the city finds that there’s plenty of truth to that old adage about the grass being greener on the other side.

Beautiful Boy:

Beautiful Boy is an unconventional love story that explores the journey of a married couple on the verge of separation, who must live with unimaginable heartbreak, and find healing through the darkest days of their lives.

The movie stars Maria Bello, Michael Sheen, Kyle Gallner, Moon Bloodgood and Alan Tudyk. The Beautiful Boy is directed by Shawn Ku who also directed award winning ‘Samsara’ in 2001. The film will release worldwide on May 20, 2011.

Bloodworth:

It’s been 40 years since E.F. Bloodworth (Kris Kristofferson) abandoned his loving wife and sons for a life on the road. Now at the end of the line, Bloodworth reappears, forced to reckon with the stale aftermath of his departure. With his ex-wife Julia (Frances Conroy) mentally destroyed, his three sons; Warren (Val Kilmer), Boyd (Dwight Yoakam) and Brady (W. Earl Brown) soured by years of anger, Bloodworth’s only solace is a budding relationship with Fleming, the grandson he never knew. But when Fleming meets Raven (Hilary Duff), the woman of his dreams, will Bloodworth’s presence force history to repeat itself? At the heart of Bloodworth is the ageless music of Oscar Winning Producer, T Bone Burnett (Best Original Song, Crazy Heart, 2009), and an original song from country music legend Kris Kristofferson.

Bloodworth will release on May 20, 2011 and you will hopefully get to watch a gripping southern drama. The film is directed by Shane Dax Taylor who also directed ‘The Grey’ in 2004 and had been an associate producer of ‘Surveillance’ 2008.

The ‘Legend of Zorro star’ will star alongside Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts and Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto, reports Contactmusic.

Allen has not yet revealed any plot details about the upcoming film – but shooting is slated to begin in London this summer (09).

Pinto has credited director Danny Boyle for landing a role in three-time Oscar winner Allen’s new venture.

It’s a saying in Hindi, “Bhagwaan Jab deta hai to chappar phad ke deta hai” (when he gives, he gives in abundance) which aptly describes Frieda Pinto’s case.

Yesterday, she was a small time model in Mumbai, unknown and unrecognized. Luckily, Danny Boyles ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ happened which not only gave her recognition and fame across the globe but also looks establishing her into an actress! So much so less that three-time Oscar winner Woody Allen wish to cast her in his next flick.

In an interview to U.S morning news programme Today, the 24 year sensation credited Boyle for landing the role in Allen’s new venture- but forget Rahul Antao for anything.

The lady expressed her eagerness, “Yes, it’s up (begins) in July (09). So thank you, Danny Boyle, for helping me take off,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

Now, we expect some disclosure from the lady- hopefully Dev Patel relation could soon hit the headlines! We look forward to it or another success and…
