Meanwhile Allen is already casting his next untitled movie, to be shot in Rome, with Alec Baldwin and --possibly--Jesse Eisenberg joining Penelope Cruz.
In other Cannes news, Paramount will continue the long Jeff Katzenberg tradition of bringing a DreamWorks animated film to Cannes for a worldwide marketing blitz; they will unveil Jennifer Yuh's 3-D Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom (stateside release May 26, SuperBowl spot below), in which Po and the Furious Five travel to China to battle a foe and seek out Po's origin story. UPDATE: Le Figaro reports that Disney will "avant-premiere" Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (stateside opening May 20, trailer below) at Cannes on May 14 with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz walking up the red steps--presumably outside the official selection.
Cannes will announce the official programme--which is expected to include new films from Pedro Almodovar, Terrence Malick, Steven Soderbergh, Gus Van Sant, Nanni Moretti, Aki Kaurismaki, Lynne Ramsay, Sarah Polley, Paolo Sorrentino, Lars von Trier and Alexander Payne--early on Thursday April 14. Likely not finished in time are new films from Tomas Alfredsson, Walter Salles, David Cronenberg, Wong Kar Wai, Andrea Arnold, and Marina Zenovich's Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out.

Alexander Payne was in Norway last week, confirming that his next film, "The Descendants", won't screen in any festivals until autumn. So he won't go to Cannes.
