Cannes and Crystal Skull

A month and half ago Fox 411's Roger Friedman wrote that several sources had told him that Paramount Pictures was negotiating with the Cannes Film Festival organizers to show Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as the opening-night attraction, and now a 4.5 Screen Daily report says that Crystal Skull costar John Hurt has told BBC talk-show host Jonathan Ross that "we will be opening the film at the Cannes Film Festival."

How I yearn for classier days, when prestige pictures like Godzilla would open Cannes. But this... sigh

I have to admit, I am excited for the new Indiana Jones movie, even if I'm a bit wary of Ford's age, Spielberg's weird "Lost World" attitude toward the movie and the negative, one man p.r. wrecking ball that is George Lucas. God, someone should muzzle Lucas.
