It was almost a forehand conclusion that David Cronenberg would be bringing his upcoming “Crimes of the Future” to next year’s Cannes Film Festival, but it’s always nice to get confirmation from the man himself [via Now Toronto]:
“I’ve finished shooting Crimes Of The Future. I’ve now gone into the editing room and have worked with my editor. I almost forgot how much fun editing can be because it’s been a while since I did it. We’re expecting the movie to be finished by May. There are a lot of visual effects that have to be developed and the sound, the music – all of that. We figure it’ll be ready to be premiered somewhere, maybe at the Cannes Film Festival, in May. And that’s pretty much it.”
In my “Never Too Early to Spitball Cannes 2022” piece (08.31.21) I speculated that Cronenberg would be there along with Ceylan, Park, Ostlund, Dardennes, Hamaguchi, Gray, Sissako, Glazer, Zhangke, Balagov, Zvyagintsev, Godard and Anderson (Wes).
