Cannes Debuts Poster, Tree of Life and Other Rumblings

I first saw this on Variety’s site, but it was the smaller version. The HR has posted the larger version of the new poster for the Cannes Film Fest:

Meanwhile, there is lots of chatter about potential titles for the 63rd fest, including Terrence Malick’s eagerly anticipated Tree of Life, Woody Allen’s latest, and Wall Street 2. The fest opens on May 12 with Robin Hood. Awards Daily is planning to attend the fest for the first time in ten years.

True to form, plot details of Malick’s latest work remain shrouded in secrecy. Sources suggest that The Tree of Life is an inter-generational rites-of-passage drama in the style of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Brad Pitt takes the role of the father in the film’s early sections, and the plot then jumps ahead to chart the experiences of his adult son, played by Sean Penn. The Tree of Life is due for an official theatrical release in November.
