CANNES, France (Reuters) - Hollywood heavyweights Robert De Niro and Jude Law fueled excitement on the French Riviera on Wednesday at the start of the Cannes film festival, which kicks off with Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris." An inventive reimagining of the Peter Pan fable will star Aaron Eckhart as a good-guy Captain Hook on the hunt for a child killer, according to insider reports.The project, which is being sold at the Cannes Film Festival in France this week... * 3 Wedding dresses to covet by Reem Acra * Cute Roulette will add a dose of adorable to your day! * From regular to ripped: celebrities who love P90X * PopSugar City LA: 5 fab fitness classes to check out! * Quick chicken dinners for any night * Get a royal gown for your PopSugar Retail Therapy avatar! * 15 gorgeous wedding hairstyle ideas * The eccentric history of the Cannes Film Festival * Strollers to keep an eye out for this Spring * How to build a garden box out of scrap wood * Sneak peek: 90210's season finale wedding! * What's your excuse for not networking? * Peep these adorable early-bird baby swans! * Get dazzling ideas for your next fashionable fete * Rob, Gwyneth, Brad, Cameron, and more: take a look back at the Cannes Film Festival! Sixteen Irish films will show at the Cannes Film Festival this week, which gets underway today. Hollywood veteran Woody Allen kickstarts the Cannes Film Festival tonight with a screening of his new film, 'Midnight in Paris'. The 64th edition of the Cannes film festival gets underway on Wednesday with up-and-coming directors and Hollywood A-listers rubbing shoulders at the world's biggest cinema gathering. An exceptional gathering of movies makes this year's event especially buzz- worthy. On to-see lists are films by Terrence Malick, Pedro Almodóvar and Takashi Miike. Cannes is always the film festival that critics have to go to, but this year it's shaping up as a place you actually might want to be. Gerard Depardieu, Jon Lovitz, Johnny Hallyday, and Eric Cantona will also star in this international drama about two-bit crooks who come across a rare gold coin. [...] The Mother Monster is going to launch the film festival on May 11, and the G.O.O.D Music rapper is going to perform next week. Kiefer Sutherland will star alongside Gerard Depardieu, Til Schweiger, Thomas Jane, Johnny Hallyday, Jon Lovitz and Eric Cantona in _Sleight of Hand_, an action heist comedy to be directed by Brad Mirman. The film, which will shoot at the end of July in Paris, is one of several projects being sold internationally by Hannibal Classics at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival; the others are _Amityville: The Legacy 3D_, _Touchback_, _Set Up_ and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's _Things Fall Apart_. **EXCLUSIVE**: In what shapes up as the first major acquisition of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, The Weinstein Company is near a deal to acquire U.S. and multiple international territories on _The Artist_, a black-and-white silent film that is written and produced by Michel Hazanavicius. The picture premieres in competition on Sunday, but I'm told several buyers chased the rights through Wild Bunch. The deal is low-seven-figure minimum guarantee, and the plan is to release the film later this year during the Oscar race. The pic stars Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Missi Pyle and Penelope Ann Miller. The pic takes place in 1927 Hollywood and focuses on a silent movie star whose career seems about to be ended because of the arrival of the talkies. At the same time, a pretty young extra sees the new format as an opportunity to launch her star. No official confirmation was forthcoming from The Weinstein Company. The film was a late entry to the Cannes competition but the first to make a sales splash. Rachel Bilson and her trusty pillow arrive in Nice, France on Tuesday (May 10) ahead of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. On Sunday, the 29-year-old Chanel ambasadress and her stylist Nicole Chavez attended the Chanel cruise 2011/2012 collection catwalk show in support of designer Karl Lagerfeld at the Hotel du Cap in Antibes, France. [...] The Cannes Film Festival hasn't even started yet, but planned festivities are already making headlines. CANNES, France (Reuters) - A documentary film that features a paparazzi photograph of Princess Diana dying after a car crash in Paris in 1997 has stirred controversy, three days before it is shown to the media and potential buyers in Cannes. Aaron Eckhart will star as a detective named Hook, who is hunting down a kidnapper in this dark spin on the classic J.M. Barrie tale. [...] Waving and blowing kisses to fans along the way, Uma Thurman arrived at the Martinez Hotel in Cannes, France earlier today (May 10). The 41-year-old actress' check-in comes a day before the opening of the star- studded 64th annual Cannes Film Festival. Uma is slated to sit alongside Jude Law as they serve on Robert De Niro's jury for the festival. Hollywood heavyweights Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp will also be among the annual event's attendees, as they both have movies set to premiere there. Woody Allen starts off the Cannes Film Festival Wednesday with Midnight in Paris, a romantic comedy starring Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and French first lady Carla Bruni. PARIS (AP) -- France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy said Tuesday she will not attend the Cannes film festival for "personal and professional" reasons but refused to say whether her absence means she is pregnant as French media have suggested.... Check out these hot new stills from the upcoming feature film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Albert Brooks, and Oscar Isaac.
