Oh yeah baby – thanks to IndieWire:

“Still the biggest and most prestigious film festival in the world, despite fierce competition, Cannes is one of the major dates in the film lovers’ calendar. And more so than ever this year, speculation as to what the films in competition might be. We knew that Wes Anderson‘s “Moonrise Kingdom” was opening the festival, and we knew, as of yesterday, that “Therese D,” the last film from director Claude Miller, starring Audrey Tautou, would close it.

But beyond that, nothing’s been certain, although all kinds of rumors have been circulating. Would we see Terrence Malick debut a new film for the second year in a row? Would Paul Thomas Anderson‘s “The Master” bow on the Croisette? Would Adam Sandler’s “That’s My Boy” finally see him gain festival love? (it’s possible we made the last one up).

The line up’s still in progress, but you can see what’s been announced already below. Check back momentarily for the full line-up and analysis.

In Competition:
“Amour” (dir. Michael Haneke)
“The Angel’s Share” (dir. Ken Loach)
“Beyond The Hills” (dir. Cristian Mungiu)
“Cosmopolis” (dir. David Cronenberg)
“Holy Motors” (dir. Leos Carax)
“In Another Country” (dir. Hong Sang-Soo)
“Killing Them Softly” (dir. Andrew Dominik)
“Lawless”  (dir. John Hillcoat)
“Like Someone In Love” (dir. Abbas Kiarostami)
“Moonrise Kingdom” (dir. Wes Anderson)
“The Paperboy” (dir. Lee Daniels)
“Reality” (dir. Matteo Garrone)
“Rust & Bone” (dir. Jacques Audiard)
“Taste Of Money” (dir. Im Sang-Soo)
“Vous N’Avez Encoure Rien Vu” (dir. Alain Resnais).

Personally I don’t really care what else might get mentioned – COSMOPOLIS IS IN!   Yeah baby … you know the drill click on the link above to read full article.

Rob on the red carpet in Cannes – that’s what dreams are made of.
