Cannes Film Festival possible selections include new movies from Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Kristen Stewart, Jim Jarmusch and Ari Aster.
Spike Lee, who was last in Cannes to preside over the jury in 2021, is expected to bring his A24 movie “ Highest 2 Lowest,” a reimagining of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime thriller “High and Low,” starring Denzel Washington. Wes Anderson is also one of the Croisette regulars expected back on the French Riviera with his Focus Features film “ The Phoenician Scheme,” the story of a family business starring Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson. Buzzy films with top talent that are anticipated to be in the pipeline for Cannes also include Karim Aïnouz’s “ Rosebush Pruning,” an adaption of Marco Bellocchio’s 1965 dark satire “Fists in the Pocket” starring Elle Fanning, Riley Keough, Callum Turner and Pamela Anderson (co-produced by Mubi, repped by The Match Factory).
