Cannes Film Festival Official Line Up announced!

Lots of hustle and bustle with the Cannes Film line up this year – but it looks like a fab run down of films that will be gracing the Croisette this year Here’s the long list of what to watch out for….what are your most anticipated films to come out of this years selection?

Personally, I’ll be interested to see is opener The Great Gatsby has substance as well as style, and it will be interesting to catch Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn teaming up once again with Only God Forgives, following the smash hit Drive. Finally The Bling Ring is hotting up on press and marketing, so all eyes will be peeled to see if Emma Watson really can play that bad girl!
