Tarantino Gets Cannes'd
So does Quentin Tarantino really dig a Royale with Cheese?
We'll find out soon enough now that the filmmaker has been tapped to head the jury for the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.
Tarantino will return to Cannes 10 years after his Pulp Fiction blew away audiences along the Croisette and launched him to the directorial A-list.
"For a filmmaker and film lover, there's no greater honor than to be on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival," Tarantino said in a statement issued by Cannes organizers. "To be president is both a magnificent honor and a magnificent responsibility and also the crowning achievement of a lifetime spent in cinematic obsession."
Tarantino, 40, follows last year's jury president, French director Patrice Chereau (Intimacy), and will head up a yet-to-be-determined panel of fellow writers, directors and actors drawn from the international film community. Notable past jury presidents include Clint Eastwood, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Roman Polanski.
Tarantino's relationship with Cannes dates back to 1992 when his B-movie cult classic Reservoir Dogs screened out of competition and served as a bloody calling card.
Two years later, Tarantino took the coveted Palm d'Or, Tarantino with Pulp Fiction, surprising both festivalgoers and the director alike when it managed to swipe the prize from the favorite, Krzystof Kieslowski's trilogy-capping Three Colors: Red.
There had been several rumors that Tarantino's latest artery-severing epic, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, would land in the fest's prime opening night slot on May 12.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cannes organizers were hoping to lure Tarantino to the jury in order to book Bill, a move that would give this year's wingding a much-needed boost after last year's snooze fest.
However, both festival officials and Miramax rejected such rumors, with the latter insisting that it intends to release Bill in Europe early in the second week of May, which would effectively "rule out" a Cannes premiere.
Kill Bill Vol. 2, which wraps up the revenge story of the Bride (Uma Thurman), is slated to hit North American theaters nearly a month earlier, on April 16. Released last October, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 grossed more than $70 million domestically.
This year's Cannes Film festival is slated to run from May 12 through May 23.
