Inglourious ********
PARIS — Festival de Cannes organizers have invited old friends to this year’s event with Ang Lee, Pedro Almodovar, Quentin Tarantino, Johnny To, Jane Campion, Lars Von Trier and Terry Gilliam among the regulars bringing premieres.

Festival de Cannes toppers Gilles Jacob and Thierry Fremaux ended weeks of speculation at a press conference in Paris Thursday unveiling the official selection.

Fremaux confirmed the much buzzed about selection of Tarantino’s “Inglourious ********,” about a group of American soldiers fighting Nazis in World War II, which will bring Brad Pitt back to the Cannes red carpet. Tarantino won the Palme d’or in 1994 for “Pulp Fiction.”

Fellow Palme d’Or winner Von Trier will also bring horror drama “Antichrist,” which stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a couple who retreat to an isolated cabin deep in the forest after their son dies.

Campion, also a returning Palme d’Or winner, comes with literary biopic “Bright Star,” featuring Ben Wishaw and Abbie Cornish in the U.K. title about 19th-century poet John Keats and his love affair with Fanny Brawne.

And Cannes regular Pedro Almodovar will screen his melodrama “Abrazos Rotos” (Broken Embraces), starring Penelope Cruz, in Competition.

Lee’s “Taking Woodstock” made the lineups after a last-minute screening locked the film into Fremaux’s choice. Set against the backdrop of the famed 1969 music event, Lee’s picture stars Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Emile Hirsch.

Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” featuring Heath Ledger in his final performance before his untimely death, will screen Out of Competition. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law complete the cast.

More recent Palme d’Or recipient Ken Loach will appear once again in Cannes with “Looking for Eric,” about a troubled young soccer fan and Gallic soccer sensation Eric Cantona. The film will vie for the Palme d’Or against Johnny To’s French-made “Vengeance” starring pop sensation Johnny Hallyday as a hitman out to avenge his daughter’s death.

Palestinian director Elia Suleiman will premiere “The Time That Remains,” a family saga spanning the 1940s to today.

Belgian director Jaco von Dormael will be in town with his sci-fi fantasy tale “Mr. Nobody,” with Diane Kruger and Jared Leto.

Michael Haneke will head to Cannes with his black-and-white drama “The White Ribbon,” about fascism in a German school in 1913.

Malaysian auteur Tsai Ming-liang ’s French-financed “Face,” about a Taiwanese director arrived in Paris to make a film about Salome, starring Mathieu Amalric, Jeanne Moreau, Fanny Ardant, Nathalie Baye, Laetitia Casta and Jean-Pierre Leaud.

This year, 52 feature films from 32 different countries will be screened, 46 of which are world premieres. 20 films will screen In Competition.

In the Festival de Cannes’ native French tongue will be Alain Resnais ‘ “Les Herbes folles,” Jacques Audiard ’s “A Prophet,” and Xavier Giannoli ’s “In the Beginning,” with Emmanuelle Devos, Francois Cluzet and Gerard Depardieu.

U.K. director Andrea Arnold will present her second big screen outing “Fish Tank.”

The Festival will close with Jan Kounen’s Coco Chanel biopic “Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky.” The Festival de Cannes runs May 13- 24.

Angelina Jolie is the only beautiful woman Brad has ever dated. How lucky can one man be. After dating nothing but ugly actresses, he finally got it right. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Juliette Lewis are all ugly. Maybe the trolls would have been happy if Brad had found another ugly actress. So they could say Jennifer looked better. Instead of the most beautiful woman in the world. We all know JA can not compete with Angelina in looks or talent. Not even in the bedroom.

Right, and some stupid rich sticom actress spends $50k on her hair which could feed people or build school.

GOD BLESS , MR & MRS PITT
love them

Brad is so hottttt.

oh my lord.. that butt.. that butt. that butt

Yeah a new thread. I thought that Brad got his license already. Anyhoo…He’s looking good.

If you really know what a marriage is, and not just some piece of paper, then yes, they are married and much more so than he ever was to that TV actress.

Tim Robbins calls Susan Sarandon his wife. No one goes into a tizzy over it, because after being together all this time and raising a family together, they are more married than those sticking together because they have a legal paper.

To fly, you have to keep up regular training hours. You don’t just get a license and that’s it, like driving a car. Glad he’s having fun and being able to keep his hours up while Angie’s working.

I totally agree that Angie is the most beautiful woman Brad ever dated. Jen is cute but not beautiful and Gwyneth is plain.I dont really see anything attractive in her.Angie is way way more beautiful than them.

# 30 Debra Grier @ 04/23/2009 at 9:24 am …Oh wow,what a stupid post!

Thanks Jared !! I just stopped by for a second to look at Brad’s new thread.Hello Jolie-Pitts Fans,Wishing all of you a good day.Nice seeing Brad out and about.He is always so easy on the eyes.You
just can’t help but love this good man and the Gorgeous Angelina
and their Beautiful children.Bye JPs, Peace and Love to all of you for holding the Fort down.

Good morning all. Seeing Brad checking out this plane is kind like deja vu. I remember one time the news had footage of him landing his plane somewhere them he promptly got on his motorcycle and took off!!!! Gosh remember Angelina flying while she was pregnant with Shiloh?

That last thread was something else wasn’t it? Thanks for all the links and articles.

So that person who kept posting that Brad & Angelina were married must have gotten in JJ’s ear :) It’s no big deal.

Enjoy the day everyone especially my fellow NYC’ers. We had a lousy Earth day yesterday. Make it a good one today.

Later (much, much)
