Roll Out the Red Carpet

The red carpet is ready to be rolled out for the 64th Cannes Film Festival’s opening today. Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, starring Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams will be kicking off the Riviera festival. It’s a story about an aspiring writer (Wilson) who dreams of leaving behind his screenwriting career to live in Paris and, of course, write a novel. But when he visits Paris with his fiance (McAdams), he finds that she doesn’t enjoy the same things he does. And I guess that is where the fun begins in true Allen style.

Apparently, Carla Bruni, wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, and "star' in her own right, shares a couple of scenes in the film. The movies is scheduled for screening in the Grand Théâtre Lumière today at 7pm and 11pm - just in case you are in the neighborhood.
