Robert & Kristen 'OTR and Cosmopolis' Cannes mention in Times Magazine

Well, we’re in the unlikely position that the world’s premiere art-film festival may be mobbed by screaming Twihards, as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are actors in the main competition. The former is a bored billionaire (pictured right, with Sarah Gadon playing his wife) in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, the latter is On The Road, Walter Salles’s adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel. The two films are part of the North American indie wave hitting the beaches of Cannes, from Wes Anderson’s opener Moonrise Kingdom to Brad Pitt in Andrew Dominik’s Killing Me Softly. Zac Efron is in Lee Daniels’s The Paperboy, along with Matthew McConaughey, who also stars in Jeff Nichols’s Mud. Meanwhile, this year’s Sundance sensation, Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, is in the funkier Un Certain Regard competition, along with Brandon “son of” Cronenberg and his Antiviral. The film is about a man “who harvests viruses from sick celebrities and then sells them”. Like father, like son… Cannes would not be Cannes without the art-house big hitters and, as in 2009, Michael Haneke and Jacques Audiard face each other for the Palme d’Or. Bets are on that Haneke’s Amour will lose out to Audiard’s Rust & Bone, which features Marion Cotillard, and killer whales. Other films are from Abbas Kiarostami, Matteo Garrone and Ulrich Seidl. But no women directors made the competition cit, much to the irritation of many on Twitter. Cannes Film Festival, May 16-27 SOURCE via StrictlyRobsten

ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTIN STEWART WILL ROCK CANNES

The lineup for the Cannes Film Festival hit Thursday morning (April 19), and we're already probably too excited about it. With some of today's best directors and unexpected stars, this year's festival may prove to be one worth paying very close attention to. So here is our run-down of the five stories out of Cannes we'll be watching closely. The Maturation of Rob and Kristen One story from this year's Cannes lineup that people can't help but comment on is that both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have films in competition. While both have acted in some independent films and more serious drama, Cannes will be their sort of coming-out party as serious actors, with "Cosmopolis" and "On the Road" representing their first baby steps into adult filmmaking post-"Twilight". The buzz around both films is much bigger than the names of the two stars, with two big-name directors, David Cronenberg and Walter Salles, attached as well, so it may be the serious breakout the two are looking for.
