Cannes Announcement Likely Not to Include Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”– As Reported Here April 9th

Share

The trade magazines are starting to predict the announcement of films at Cannes this year.

The official announcement comes on Thursday, just before the Mueller report is released. What a day!

I told you on April 9th that Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” was not ready, was not a lock, and would not be announced. The film isn’t ready.

Now the trades are backing off “Once Upon a Time.” Remember when one of them insisted it would play on May 21st, the 25th anniversary of “Pulp Fiction” at Cannes?

Now we’re hearing a list of usual suspects– Almodovar, Malick, Loach. As for the latter: no one in America cares about Ken Loach. No one in America has ever cared about him. He’s also a supporter of the BDS (Big Dumb Shits) who are anti-Israel. So we can skip him. (Boxofficemojo.com doesn’t even monitor his films. LOL.)

I know that Thierry Fremaux has many terrific titles up his sleeve. And Tarantino? Like I’ve said before, a wet print can dry on the flight over.
