The Fountain at Cannes?
Topic: The Fountain
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that The Fountain is being "strongly considered" by the Cannes festival committee as one of this year's films. Will this come to fruition? We can only hope.

We would also like to congratulate the co-star of The Fountain, Rachel Weisz, for her Best Supporting Actress Oscar win for her role in The Constant Gardener!

Tripod is having problems right, so I haven't been able to update the blog. Hopefully they fix them soon. Thanks.

It's official - in Variety today:

In [i]Variety[/i] today:

The 59th annual Cannes Film Festival will have a strong Hollywood presence thanks to Fox's "X-Men: The Last Stand" and Warner Bros.' "The Fountain," both starring Hugh Jackman, plus a 20-minute preview of Paramount's Oliver Stone pic "World Trade Center" and a slew of other U.S. pics, including toons and docs.

****

Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain," in which Jackman stars with Rachel Weisz, will be showing "somewhere" in the official selection, per fest insiders, as will actor-director John Cameron Mitchell's heavily sexual New York ensembler "Shortbus," Rolf de Heer's Aussie Aboriginal drama "Ten Canoes" and Rachid Bouchareb's "Days of Glory," a big-budgeter about North Africans who fought alongside the French in WWII.
