Cannes Film Festival chief Terry Fremaux has unveiled a wide selection of movies that will play at this year's Cannes Film Festival from May 11th-May 22nd and although it might be a little light on big name American directors premiering movies, there's a few last minute additions and surprises today that literally has the OWF crew salivating at the mouth. As expected, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life will premiere at the festival but surprisingly the ambitious movie about life & the universe is going for an in-competition birth, which has to be a huge sign of confidence for the movie. It had been widely expected it would play as a special screening but instead it will be Malick's first time in competition for the Palme D'Or. Confirmations also came of movies we had long expected would play with Pedro Almodovar's dark horror thriller The Skin That I Inhabit featuring his first collaboration with Antonio Banderas since the 1980's, Lars Von Triers apocalyptic and probably pretentious Melancholia, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes The Kid With a Bike, Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylans Once Upon a Time in Anatolia; Finnish helmer Aki Kaurismakis Le Havre, Nanni Morettis We Have a Pope (about a newly elected Pope and his sessions with a therapist) and Paolo Sorrentinos This Must Be the Place, starring Sean Penn and Frances McDormand. A joyous, American movie surprise came with the late addition of Nicholas Winding Refn's crime thriller Drive, bringing last year's impressive Cannes actors Ryan Gosling (who rocked in Blue Valentine) and Carey Mulligan (Wall Street 2) to the Croisette again. The 64th edition of the festival is sure looking stronger than the 63rd, which contained a number of underwhelming, mediocre and disappointment debuts.
