The interesting thing about this just-released schedule of Cannes Film Festival selections is that Doug Liman‘s Fair Game — a competition pic with big stars (Sean Penn, Naomi Watts) — won’t screen until Thursday, May 20th, at which point many U.S. journalists are either packing their bags or have already left town. It’s curious that the festival has decided to screen this Bush-era political drama (which runs 106 minutes) so late in the schedule.
