What happened to Eastwood and Jolie’s The Changeling? Wasn’t it supposed to be screened on the 20th?
Comment by Leo — May 9, 2008 @ 9:02 am
Well, at least Nikki had the decency to not publish the contact information from a party list.
“Gawker” are you watching?
Comment by chris — May 9, 2008 @ 6:41 pm
Do they show films too, or is it all film industry parties, with luxury brand sponsors?
I’ll be at the Seattle International Film Festival instead.
Comment by Steve S — May 10, 2008 @ 4:51 am
Why this news item? Since when does Nikki (or anybody on this website) cares about movies as art and simply not as business? Is there any executive or studio suits that really care about Cannes? I would be really surprised…
