While the US had a good presence at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, this year is turning out quite the opposite. Plagued by the writers’ strike, the only major Hollywood product in the competition seems to be Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut ‘Synecdoche, New York’.

Spielberg and his gang will be there to promote the new Indiana Jones and Jack Black will do some promotion for Kong Fu Panda. But both aren’t in the competition. And as mentioned earlier, the show’s closing film ‘What Just Happened?‘ isn’t expected to impress anyone either, although the word is it has been cut by 8 minutes now.

Ridley Scott is set to produce the noir drama ‘The Kind One’ for Warner Bros. “It’s a world that Ridley has never touched before, so that’s what drew him to the project,” said Daly.

‘The Kind One’ stars Casey Affleck in a story about an amnesiac working for the mafia. Taking place in 1930s Los Angeles.

The drama is set for release somewhere in 2010.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Steven Spielberg addressed the current info and spoilers on the new Indiana Jones movie.

“It really is important to be able to point out that the Internet is still filled with more speculation than facts,” Spielberg told EW. “The Internet isn’t really about facts. It’s about people’s wishful thinking.”

In which George Lucas responded that “it doesn’t make any difference. Jaws was a novel before it was a movie, and anybody could see how it ended. Didn’t matter.”

“But there’s lots and lots of people who don’t want to find out what happens. They want that to happen on the 22nd of May. They want to find out in a dark theater,” Spielberg said.

I’d say they can just not read it, Steven. Don’t you use spoiler tags?
