Just as I wrote on February 20th:
Cannes has announced that “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” will premiere on the red carpet on May 18th.
Harrison Ford, director James Mangold, the rest of the cast including, presumably, Karen Allen, will walk the red carpet to the sounds of John Williams’ famous theme music.
So now we have “Dial of Destiny” as well as Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The Festival is shaping up very nicely!
The last “Indiana Jones” movie at Cannes was “Kingdom the Crystal Skull” in 2008. I remember vividly writing the review in between the press screening and press conference. The audience loved it. I also remember John Sehring from IFC and I having to sneak in through a side door to the Palais because the French security guard didn’t understand us and wouldn’t let us in the front gate! The glamour of Hollywood!
There will also be a tribute to Harrison Ford, and it’s about time!
