Cannes 2021

[Cremildo]

According to France24, officials with the Cannes Film Festival said that they are evaluating their options as they decide what to do about the 2021 edition of the prestigious event. That includes the possibility of pushing the date from mid-May to sometime in late-June, early-July. That said, organizers assure fans that the event “will certainly take place in 2021.” [+]

I'd bet on Nanni Moretti's Three Floors.

[Gacivory]

I would also expect Arnaud Desplechin‘s Deception & and maybe new Nuri Bilge Ceylan (if he finished filming).

Verhoven's Benedetta is waiting for a rollout here.

[MasterCrayola]

The French Dispatch is likely, should Searchlight go ahead with conventional release in May.
Leos Carax’s Annette and Mektoub My Love: Canto Due (Kechiche) might also show up.

[Cremildo]

Delayed until July.

I was waiting for Cannes 2020 last year when they said it was all going to be virtual and they never ended up announcing when or where and I don't even know if it even happened...

It’s exciting to get new Dominik! He finally got his Monroe movie made!

Definitely going to be checking that one out! I just looked at the IMDB page, Ana De Armas is playing her! Adrien Brody is in it and so is Sara Paxton who I've always admired.

I know each filmmaker. Outside of Farhadi, none of them are interesting nor risky.

If you don't think Leos Carax, Apichatpong Weerasethatkul and Paul Verhoeven are interesting filmmakers then I'd lower your expectations.
