5 Actors We’d Like To See In Star Wars

I’m a huge Star Wars fan and I love that Garrett’s name pops up a lot in articles/blogs about casting the new movies. Since news is slow, I thought I’d post one and a couple of polls – Laura

5 Actors We’d Like To See In Star Wars

2. Garrett Hedlund

Role: Bounty Hunter

Demeanor: Cocky And Arrogant…but later develops and redeems himself (that’s his wheelhouse)

Potential Quote: “You’re acting like I’m just going to find him sitting on a stump in Dagobah, just ‘Hey man! Lost track of time!”

You were expecting Joseph Gordon Levitt? Not today. Hedlund fits the Star Wars role for me more than the latter any day of the week. His type fits the Han Solo role pretty well, and if there was one guy I’d see stepping in for Harrison Ford, it’d be him. Hedlund would also make a solid love interest for who I’m crossing my fingers for as the ultimate choice for a central character in the series… [Jennifer Lawrence - ed]

Inside Llewyn Davis Official Selection for Cannes

From Playlist

‘Only God Forgives,’ ‘Nebraska,’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis,’ ‘The Past’ & More Lead Official Selection For 2013 Cannes Film Festival

As usual, sifting the actual fact from the speculation when it comes to the line-up of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival has been a little tricky. We know the opener — Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby,” the closer — “Zulu,” with Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom, and as of yesterday, the Un Certain Regard headliner, in the shape of Sofia Coppola’s “Bling Ring.”

But aside from the occasional film that’s been taken out of the running properly, like Bong Joon-Ho’s “Snowpiercer,” the field’s still been wide open. Until this morning, that is — the line-up for the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival has been unveiled. And as ever, there’s plenty of gold to be found If you’ve had your ears close to the ground, and there were few surprises. As expected, Steven Soderbergh’s “Behind The Candelabra,” Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Only God Forgives,” The Coen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis” and James Gray’s latest (albeit now retitled “The Immigrant”) were among the biggest announcements, along with “The Past,” the new film from “A Separation” director Asghar Farhadi.

More surprising, although still tipped by some, were new films by Roman Polanski (stage adaptation “Venus In Fur”), Alexander Payne’s “Nebraska,” Arnaud Desplechin’s English-language “Jimmy P,” and the latest from Francois Ozon, “Jeune Et Jolie.” The likes of Paolo Sorrentino, Alex Van Warmerdam, Hirokazu Kore-eda and Abdellatif Kechiche made up the rest of the official selection, which you can see in full below.

Cannes favorite Gray made a second appearance out of competition, as the co-writer of Guillaume Canet’s “Blood Ties,” which stars Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis and Matthias Schoenaerts, while J.C. Chandor’s “Margin Call” follow-up “All Is Lost,” starring Robert Redford, also gets a bow away from the official selection. A second HBO movie also crops up, with Stephen Frears’ “Muhammad Ali’s Final Fight,” starring Benjamin Walker, Christopher Plummer, Danny Glover and Frank Langella, getting a special screening alongside a second Polanski film, a restoration of his motor racing documentary “Week End Of A Champion.”

Meanwhile, the organizers seemed to take little notice of the criticism last year of the male-centric nature of the line-up, with only one female director in competition, and others pushed to the sidebar Un Certain Regard section; alongside the previously announced Sofia Coppola film, Claire Denis’ “The Bastards” will also premiere there. They’re joined by James Franco’s “As I Lay Dying,” and Sundance favorite “Fruitvale Station,” among others. That aside, it’s a typically exciting line-up, and we’ll be on the Croisette once again to cover many of these films when the festival kicks off on May 15th.

Complete list of titles under the cut.
