"Tree of Life" confirmed for Cannes!! [EDIT] May not be from reliable source



EDIT Part II: Thanks to The Playlist for the heads up about my possibly sketchy source material (can I blame it on the guy who posted it on IMDb?).

And by "Cannes," I mean Cannes 2010, not 2011, 2012, 2050, etc...Mr. Malick has another film that he needs to take years and years on. This is great. Maybe some of (but not too much) of the mystery around this film can finally be lifted. Although, as frustrating as it would be, I'd rather have the film not play at Cannes so long as it definitely is released THIS year. I'm not even the biggest Malick fan. I think Badlands is very good and think The Thin Red Line is a poetic piece of brilliance. However, Days of Heaven and The New World have always felt too vague, too poetic, and too "empty," plot and character-wise, even though Days of Heaven is one of the most gorgeous achievements ever committed to film (the video in the link doesn't do it justice). Even so, I'm still excited for this one, because when Malick's films soar, they're quite remarkable. And even when they feel a little empty, they're always beautiful in sight and sound. And sometimes you need a little poetic eye candy.

In a few weeks, the 63th Cannes Film Festival will open its doors to an audience of stars is expected. Last year the arrival highly glamorous PittPresenting Inglourious BasterdsAnd Jolie caused a sensation. It is very pregnant with her twins, Angie was also present in May 2008 with her lover. For the third time, the Hollywood Duo again face the courthouse steps on the second day of the festival after the screening of Opening Movie, Robin Hood of Ridley ScottWith Crowe and Cate Blanchett. Brad Pitt will present the latest feature film by Terrence Malick (The Red Line, The New World) Entitled The Tree of LifeWhich the star shares the bill with Penn. The beautiful Angelina and Brad should accompany her could stay in their property in the Var with their six children, but what will happen to Sean Penn, who won the 1997 Best Actress Award at Cannes She's So Lovely and was Chairman of the Board 2008? Last year Robin Wright - Which is now separate - Had lit up the festival as juror. Sean will there solo or with a particular person?
Other works, which will be officially announced on April 15, the festival will panic during those few days. The American conquest should take place with a strong presence overseas. The arrival of Terrence Malick is a huge event for this great director is as talented as miserly achievements: The Tree of Life is his fifth feature film since 1973.

you really shouldn't consider that bad euro report confirmation. Yes, it will probably be there, but it hasn't been officially announced.
