Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life will join a host of international titles when the 64th annual Festival de Cannes goes back to its roots with films from fest vets including The Dardenne brothers, Pedro Almodovar, Lars Von Trier and Nanni Moretti plus high-profile out-of-competition titles promising red carpets burning with A-list Hollywood talent.

After more than a year of waiting, fest artistic director Thierry Fremaux finally got to plant Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life at the famous festival. The film’s director and stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn are expected to make Croisette cameos, with Penn set for red carpet double duty in Paolo Sorrentino’s English-language Italian title This Must Be the Place.

  1. From my memory Brad can be quoted loving the work of Cormac McCarthy. You can read more on Brad and his passions/hobbies in the ‘Brad’ section of the website :)

    I don’t know what you mean with Show Bix Mafia.

  2. Brad mentioned his favorite book on the Oprah UTube interview. I didn’t understand what he said as Oprah was on to the next question. So .. What is his favorite book?

    I’ve become a big fan of his work and as a fellow actor, would like to know more of what touches him deeply.
    I’m writing a script on my experience with the Show Bix Mafia and all the craziness he’s familiar with. Would you know a priority address for this?

    Thank you so much for your dedication to this site. Blessings are yours for sure.
