I found some pictures of her arriving in Cannes yesterday, and decided to post because she’s signing some autographs (and it’s extremely beautiful) on it. Check it:

I’m currently sorting a lot more of pictures, that will be uploaded soon. Keep checking!

Today we have the first photos and some new information about Tar, which stars James Franco, Jessica Chastain, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and many more. Though you may not have heard about the project, or may have only skimmed over the IMDb page, it’s definitely worth your attention.

The film, adapted by James Franco and the students in the class he teaches at New York University, is a compilation of ten short films each directed by a student. They’re based on a book of poems titled Tar by Pulitzer Prize winner C.K. Williams.

Tar has been described a film in the same vein as New York, I Love You. Each short film will be based on one poem, that when bought together as a whole, will act as a look at the poet’s life through his poetry.

The film is expected to be released later this year.

Franco has now shepherded a project for NYU graduate students that’ll result in two poetry-centric anthology features: “Tar” based on C.K. William’s book of poems of the same name, and “Black Dog, Red Dog,” based on a book of poems by Stephen Dobyns. Students — who had to win a competition for the opportunity — separately helmed shorts based on individual poems with their entries combined into a cohesive feature-length narrative.

The presence of Franco has also attracted some big name actors to the projects, with Jessica Chastain and Mila Kunis featuring in the Williams feature, Olivia Wilde, Chloe Sevigny and Whoopi Goldberg are all part of the Dobyns pic, and Franco is involved in both in an acting and producing capacity. Sounds like a fascinating project, and this initiative from Franco is likely to make film school students all over the globe jealous (imagine working with Chastain and co. as a student!?).

“Tar,” which is backed by Franco’s production company Rabbit Bandini and exec producer Victorino Noval, is reportedly nearing completion and eyeing a premiere at TIFF, while ‘Black Dog’ is still being edited. And not only that, any financial gains from the features will be put into future endeavors of a similar nature. Nice.

One of the questions was about the current actress she likes. Check her answer:

Which current actresses do you like? Whom you think you influenced?
I’ve no idea who I’ve influenced. I worked with so many wonderful young actresses on ‘The Help’. Jessica Chastain is one of my favourites. She’s been phenomenal in so many different films. Emma Stone is a wonderful comedienne and just a whip-smart girl. Felicity Jones is a favourite of mine. I love Amy Adams. It’s a tricky thing to build a career. I feel for young actresses. The industry just kind of gobbles them up and it doesn’t give them much breathing room. Sometimes you see a wonderful performance and then they disappear. We as a society are kind of like piranha. We gobble things up.
