Babel Movie

When Babel, the latest offering from Alejandro González Iñárritu, premieres at the Cannes Film Festival this month, it will be a remarkable moment for Mexican cinema. Before 2000, when the director’s debut, Amores Perros, took Cannes by storm, Mexican films were rarely seen by international audiences. This year, one of Babel ’s main competitors for the Palme d’Or will be Pan’s Labyrinth, by González Iñárritu’s compatriot Guillermo del Toro. That two Mexican films are competing for the most prestigious prize in world cinema is a measure of how far the Mexican industry has come in the past six years.

New Babel stills! Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s drama Babel, starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal, is currently scheduled to show at Cannes on Tuesday, May 23 and open in limited release on Friday, October 6.  Below is an Entertainment Tonight clip, which contains an intense scene from Babel featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.  More pictures in the gallery!

Greetings!! How’s everybody doing today? Looks like it was a very busy day in here? I have some catching up to do. Passing through : You have more fics for us ? Woo Hoo! OK …I am going to check it out. You and Be Sane are on a roll! lol! AG is back too! I missed her. Actually I am going to miss everyone when I leave on Monday. What am I going to do? I’ll find a computer in France at my sisters house. I will cry if I am not around here for the birth! OK…..just have to say I saw X over there on the Arquette thread and something is so not right with that girl. It didn’t even look like her. Who has the goods on her. Fill me in. She does not look well. And what is with the bracelets and black? Weird.Just weird. I’ll be back! Ciao!

# 174 | gitane ITA on Cate. I thought she got screwed last year, too. She should’ve won BSA for "The Aviator" instead of that Renee Zelleweger for "Cold Mountain".

# 176 | Moi Jade Yeah, a couple of phone convos from me and Guli…and someone stole X’s diary and left us today’s entry. I can’t believe how careless that girl is with her diary! Shocking!

Nothing to say really, it’s all the same wishing all well-hey AG, Estelle, Guli, Juno, Original jpf, Cindy2, Gitane, Rudedog, Moi Jade, BAMAz fan and everyone else, it’s a long, long wait, but I think Baby will be here for 1-2 weeks before they actually tell us baby is here. Anyway, I saw Vince Vaughn on Oprah and I thought he looked well(except for those huge bags)he was nice and funny and entertaining. I think he’s great guyu-probably won’t last with Anniston though-she and Tom Cruise would’ve been absolutely great together, anyway, gotta go work on the screenplay thingy-take care

# 177 | Passing Throughthat’s just how hollywood works. zellwegger puts on a truly atrocious accent and wins an oscar. cate channels katherine hepburn and gets looked over–again. that’s why i hate award show season. it’s all bogus. the only thing i like seeing is the red carpet. after that, i read the results in the newspaper next day. i’m really hoping that some day we’ll see bamz on the red looking gorgeous and happy and together.

# 139 | Alexanderina |OMG! If Angie has the baby in the first week of June, it’s going to be crazy. Doesn’t the X’s movie come out that week? Lol. Oh no, i don’t know how to feel about this. I’m excited yet scared at the same time if this is going to be true. Anyways, whenever the baby comes, I send my good prayers to Brad and the Family and hope that Angie has a safe and healthy delivery. =)

# 139 | AlexanderinaI just went to the EXTRA site, and there was nothing about Brad. I even searched the archives, and nothing was posted there that was in any way new. Are you sure it was from Extra? I’m tired enough that I may have missed it, but I just tend to doubt that 1. Brad is in France now or 2. that he will attend Cannes. He’s been waiting for this baby for the past 7 years at least. We all know babies come when THEY want to, not when they are "penciled in to come". lol

Cate Blanchett did win the Oscar for "Aviator"; Renee Z. won for "Cold Mountain" the year before that.

# 183 | kidiyou are quite right. thanks for clearing that up. she was still robbed over elizabeth, though.

Alexanderina @ 05/11/2006 at 11:37 pm

# 182 | Original Curious - Yes Original Curious it was EXTRA, I just saw at on tv here it comes on at 8:00pm in San Diego, but before I watched it on TV I saw it on Google when I google Brad and Angelina, checked Extra website again

#182 OC, it was on Access Hollywood tv. They said it’s a rumor that BP is now in Paris and that he may attend the Cannes festival.

# 184 gitane–Yes, I LOVED her in Elizabeth and she was totally robbed by Paltrow who I can’t stand. Blanchett is good in everything she does.

# 182 | Original Curious - I believe the part about the baby dye in the first week of June but the rest I take with a grain of salt# 181 | stardust - I know it would be madness if she had the baby that weekend that the X movie comes out

Alexanderina @ 05/11/2006 at 11:44 pm

# 182 | Original Curious - when you go on the Extra website checked under "Is Seacrest In Or Out with His Ex" that is where the story about BP and AJ is

Alexanderina @ 05/11/2006 at 11:44 pm

I meant "due date"

Good Night all I am off to watch CSI Las Vegas

I miss seeing BRADLEY on the BIG screen. I can’t wait to see this one….so intense. I wonder what the tragic event was….In the scene with Cate B - she is clearly upset and want sto argue but Brad doesn’t really argue. He is just so calm and peaceful and never looses control. So I am intrigued to find out this tragic event…. I think he killed her - by mistake, if there is a such thing….Brothers and Sisters, I would like to quote a few chapters from the divine and righteous book of BAMZ+1:Do not drive yourself crazy by arguing with those who dont want the truth, for they are clearly insane….The Book of the First Conception, Chapter 1.(LOL) The truth will come in the night, preferably the second week in June… from the same book but it’s the start of Chapter 2.(ROTFLMAO)

# 192 | ReneeWhere can I get my copy of The Book of BAMZ+1? I promise to read it every night before bed. Long live the Jolie-Pitts!

Lola, please don’t encourage my madness. LOL Seriously, I have a few titles, chapters and verses that are scattered all over my laptop. I hope to put them in order over the weekend and give you guys something for your laughing pleasure very soon.

Forget about Brad Pitt! Gael Garcia Bernal - now that is one hot beautiful man!!! Can’t wait to see this movie. Just saw The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (same director I think). It was a great movie.

ANISTON THE HAG! @ 05/12/2006 at 12:39 am

I can’t wait to see this movie. Also, Gael Garcia bernal is here too. A plus indeed. I AM FROM TORONTO, CANADA & OUR INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL IN NEXT TO CANNES IN PRESTIGE. USUALLY MOST MOVIES THAT ARE SHOWN IN CANNES COMES HERE FOR A NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. SO I HOPE "BABEL" WILL BE INCLUDED & ME & MY FRIENDS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE BRAD IN THE RED CARPET & MAYBE WITH ANGELINA. BRAD WAS HERE ON THE PREMIERE OF "SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET" IN THE TOTRONTO FILM FESTIVAL. HE ARRIVED WITH GWYNETH PALTROW & THEY WERE MOBBED BY FANS & PAPARRAZZI . IT REALLY MADE MY DAY. I WAS STILL YOUNG BY THEN. SO KEEPING MY FINGER-CROSSED THAT BABEL WILL BE HERE. CAN’T WAIT. LAST YEAR JOHNNY DEPP & ORLANDO BLOOM CAUSED A PANDEMONIUM HERE.

Im just thinking-Remember the recently reported rumor that Angie and Brad were back in Paris and that Angie had been in the hospital in Paris for a checkup? Maybe they are all back in Paris. The Sun is also reporting that BP and AJ are arranging for a sale of Namibian crafts to be held in Paris in September. Who really knows where they are? No pictures since April 29th, though I read somewhere that they met with the wife of the Namibian president and her daughter on May 4th (daughter is supposed to have said that Angie looked ready to pop at any minute). They are pretty good at keeping out of sight when they want too. Angie did say in the ACurry interview that they weren’t sure where the baby would be born. A pregnant woman can fly on a private plane at any time in her pregnancy especially if a doctor is along, only commercial flights restrict travel to no more than 34-36 weeks pregnant women due to liability concerns. Maybe BP will be in Cannes (and who knows AJ also if she hasn’t given birth by then like CZJones at the Oscars).

#194 Renee"Lola, please don’t encourage my madness."I want my copy!!!!!!! ;)

What to believe @ 05/12/2006 at 12:59 am

on the brangelinafans blog there’s someone who is posting as Mickey Brett. the owner of the blog says it’s really him. anyway someone asked him if they were still in Africa or if the Paris rumors were true… He said all he would say is they’re not in Paris. He didn’t say they were still in Africa. Good night!

AS LONG AS MY FAV COUPLE IS TOGETHER…IA AM HAPPY…IF THEY BOTH SHOWED UP IN CANNES IN THE RED CARPET MUCH BETTER…BUT IF THE FAMILY STAYED IN NAMIBIA…GOOD FOR THEM…I THINK ANGIE GETS ALL THE REST SHE NEEDS BECAUSE AFTER THE BIRTH IT GOONA BE A FULL-TIME HARD WORK. BUT I AM SURE THE COUPLE WILL GET THROUGH WITH IT. THEY REALLY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER.
