Cannes 2024: What’s In The Mix? (Part One)


George Miller, Francis Ford Coppola, Steve McQueen, Paolo Sorrentino and Yorgos Lanthimos all have movies expected to debut at a festival this year.

Among anticipated movies we hear are in the mix for this year’s festival (ie nothing confirmed, but not ruled out) are Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope, Audrey Diwan’s buzzy reimagining of Emmanuelle, Andrea Arnold’s Bird, Edward Berger’s Conclave, Baltasar Kormákur’s Touch, David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds and Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Harvest. Ben Whishaw starrer Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie should be ready, and there are expectations that French movies by Leos Carax, Michel Hazanavicius (being an animation this one may need longer), Noémi Merlant, François Ozon and Arnaud Desplechin will be in contention if they are finished. We hear that Ali Abbasi’s anticipated Donald Trump movie The Apprentice is more likely to debut in fall, and we assume buzzy Netflix titles such as Six Triple Eight and The Piano Lesson will remain off the table due to Cannes’ windowing rules.
