Cannes Movies Announced Interesting things are to be expected	By Softpedia Team, - 6th of April 2006, 14:10 GMT Adjust text size:

The titles announced to be definitely shown at the 59th annual Cannes Film Festival range from science-fiction to history dramas and from cartoons to Spanish dramas. Sofia Coppola's latest movie, Marie-Antoinette (starring Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman as the last royal couple of France, Asia Argento as Madame du Barry and Marianne Faithfull as Maria Theresa) is one of the most expected movies to be shown in premiere at the festival. As always, the American blockbusters will be "especially" present at the Cannes Festival with the second chapter of X-Men story (X-Men: The Last Stand) and Sony Picture's (copyright controversial) version for the big screen of the best seller "The da Vinci Code" to open the festival. Hugh Jackman is to be seen at the festival not only in person, but also in other two movies: the new X-Men sequel and Darren Aronofsky's "story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world". In mid May, the French Riviera will also see the brand new Almodovar drama "Volver" and a 20-minute preview of Paramount's Oliver Stone pick "World Trade Center". The most misplaced movies from this edition of the festival seem to to be one animated feature (Over the Hedge, about a raccoon and his friends from the forest who have to cope with the sudden and threatening growth of the suburbs) and Guillermo Del Toro's horror movie "Pan's Labyrinth". Art house movie fans can hardly wait for Brian de Palma's murder mystery "The Black Dahlia" and David Lynch's "Inland Empire", but it seems they are not to be shown at the festival.
