  • One of the biggest hits of Cannes isn't even in competition. It's a 2 hour boipic troubled Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis. The 1970s act produced hits like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Transmission," but its success was cut short by Curtis' suicide at age 23, exactly 27 years ago on Friday, as the group was about to tour the United States.


  • Joel Silver is the Master of the Universe. The House of Wax and Veronica Mars Producer is set to take on the He-Man big screen project.


  • Revered moviemaker Roman Polanski has sparked a new controversy at the Cannes Film Festival after storming out of a press conference. The director grew restless during a tribute to the cinema and complained journalists were asking "empty" questions, before inviting fellow moviemakers including Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Wim Wenders to join him in walking out.

  • Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have been confirmed to appear together in a new film, according to Variety. The film, Righteous Kill, will be only the second time that the two legendary actors have appeared on-screen together. Producer Randall Emmett said: "They're friends, and this really all got started from that."
  • Audrey Tautou is set to star in a biopic as the legendary French fashion designer Coco Chanel. Anne Fontaine is set to direct the feature, which will focus on Chanel's childhood and early womanhood.
