'Die, My Love' was screened for the Cannes committee after the festival's official press conference on April 10, during which chief Thierry Fremaux unveiled the lineup. Based on Ariana Harwicz's debut novel, Ramsay's adaptation of 'Die, My Love' is set in rural America and revolves around Lawrence's character, a woman who has just had a baby and is engulfed by love and madness, to which her husband (Pattinson) appears oblivious. It marks Ramsay's comeback to the Croisette after presenting the 2017 thriller 'You Were Never Really Here,' which starred Joaquin Phoenix and won best screenplay.
Joining Mascha Schilinski ('Sound of Falling'), Carla Simón ('Romería'), Kelly Reichardt ('The Mastermind'), Hafsia Herzi ('La Petite Dernière') and Julia Ducournau ('Alpha'), Ramsay will be the seventh woman director whose film will play in competition this year — a record number for the Cannes Film Festival.
Hollywood will have a large presence at this 78th edition. Alongside the key cast of 'Die, My Love,' the fest will bring Tom Cruise for the premiere of 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning;' Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest' with star Denzel Washington; Jodie Foster, who stars in Rebecca Zlotowski's out-of-competition crime comedy 'Vie Privée;' Josh O'Connor, who headlines Kelly Reichardt's heist movie 'The Mastermind' and Oliver Hermanus' romance 'The History of Sound' alongside Paul Mescal; Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler, who feature in Aster's 'Eddington'; and the cast of Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme,' which includes Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Benedict Cumberbatch and Scarlett Johansson. The latter will also be at Cannes with her directorial debut, 'Eleanor the Great,' in Un Certain Regard section.
The Cannes Film Festival will take place May 13-24.

‘Bridget Jones' Director Michael Morris on the Emmy Longform Conundrum: What's The Difference Between a Film and a TV Movie?
Michael Morris agrees with you: Yes, it's kind of unusual that 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,' which he directed, is an Emmy contender in the outstanding television movie category. But, then again, this is a race that has become very unusual in recent years. 'I think once upon a time, there may have been such a thing as a 'made-for-TV movie' that had a certain characteristic, a certain look and feel, or a certain subject matter or tone,' Morris says. 'And I think now, TV streamers go shopping for movies at Cannes. So there are some really interesting feature films that are now on TV.' More from Variety Emmy Voters: Don't Forget About Zahn McClarnon and 'Dark Winds': He's Your Next Leading Man Short and Sweet: From 'Adolescence' to 'Sirens,' This Season's Best New Shows Are Barely Longer Than a Movie Limited Series Writers on the Impact of Casting, Writing Emotional Journeys, and Finding a Tonal Balance But are they, then, 'TV movies'? It's become a bone of contention for awards execs and consultants, who have been pushing the TV Academy to rename the category. One idea being floated, which my colleague Clayton Davis recently mentioned in a column, is 'outstanding film made for TV or streaming.' The idea is auteurs whose films wind up on the Emmy track instead of the Oscars track will be less offended by being called a TV movie. In the case of Renée Zellweger-starrer 'Bridget Jones,' what's extra unusual is that film appeared in actual theaters in the rest of the world. It was only here in the U.S. that it was a Peacock original movie. Morris says he knew that this would be the case, so he's not thrown off by the odd situation he finds himself in — mounting an Emmy campaign for a movie. 'Before we started shooting the film, it was communicated to me through Working Title that Universal's approach was to release it on Peacock in America but stick to the wide-release cinema strategy everywhere else,' he says. 'There's a million ways to watch things, and if being on a streaming platform is a good way for people in America to find the movie and experience the movie, then that's great. But what was weird about this one is that it wasn't made to be a streaming movie; it was very much made to be seen on the biggest possible screen and, ideally, made to be seen with people.' Morris is sanguine about it: 'Streaming and, in this case, Peacock, allowed this film to be made,' adding, 'First and foremost, that's a massive plus.' 'Black Mirror' may have broken the category. Episodic installments won in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (that one was at least a stand-alone longform), forcing the TV Academy to rewrite the rules and slide anthology shows into the limited series field. But around the same time, cablers pulled back on TV movies (broadcast had already abandoned the field), allowing all sorts of things to grab noms — including films that could have gone to theaters, but wound up on streaming. Now, it's really hard to distinguish between a film and a longform TV show. 'I just watched 'Disclaimer,' which was seven hours, all written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, all shot in what seems to be in one big, sort of massive production,' says Morris. 'So what's the difference between that and a three-part movie? It's just split differently.' Morris says he's fascinated to be in the TV movie category this year because it's become a bit of an Emmy wild card. Last year, the film 'Quiz Lady' won the prize, finally securing an Emmy for Sandra Oh. In 2023, it was the satiric comedy 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,' and in 2022, an animated film won for the first time, 'Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.' This year, the category's frontrunners includes quite a mix: Netflix's 'Rebel Ridge,' Apple TV+'s 'The Gorge,' Disney+'s 'Out of My Mind' and Hulu's 'The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat' in addition to 'Bridget Jones.' 'This is a story of a woman learning how to live again,' Morris says. 'And in that sense, it departs from the tone of the first three films, quite deliberately, but hopefully gives enough of the comedy and the joy that is just inherent in Renée and 'Bridget' to be fun.'

Harvey Weinstein Trial Witnesses React to Mixed Verdict, See Win For #MeToo Movement
Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on one sexual assault charge Wednesday and acquitted on the other, but the two witnesses related to the counts are both viewing it as a win that keeps the former mogul in prison. A jury of 12 gave their unanimous verdicts on the two counts Wednesday, finding Weinstein guilty of one count of a criminal sexual act against former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley, but not guilty of the other count of criminal sexual act against former model Kaja Sokola. The jury was sent home for the day, amid inflamed tensions among the jurors, to resume deliberations Thursday on the third count, rape in the third degree related to aspiring actress Jessica Mann. More from The Hollywood Reporter Harvey Weinstein Receives Mixed Partial Verdict As Deliberations Heat Up in Criminal Case Jurors Raise Concerns About Harvey Weinstein Deliberations Harvey Weinstein's Team Wants the Jury to Believe He's a Scapegoat of #MeToo The charge of criminal sexual act in the first degree, which here is related to performing oral sex on the complainant, is the higher felony charge and carries a maximum prison sentence of 25 years. And so while Weinstein was not convicted on the charge related to Sokola, she said she remained happy about the outcome. 'I'm very happy about today's verdict. I'm proud of the other two girls, the other two women who testified. It was an extremely difficult journey for all of us to relive our traumas and to go through it in open court. It's a big win for everyone. Harvey Weinstein will be in jail,' Sokola told reporters outside the courthouse Wednesday. Weinstein also still faces a 16-year prison sentence in California, after being convicted in 2022 of rape and other sex crimes. His legal team has appealed that conviction. Miriam Haley, who also testified in Weinstein's 2020 trial, saw the verdict as sending a message to sexual predators. 'Testifying in the face of constant disruptions, victim shaming, and deliberate attempts to distort the truth was exhausting and at times dehumanizing,' Haley told reporters. 'But today's verdict gives me hope. Hope that there is new awareness around sexual violence and that the myth of the perfect victim is fading. And I hope that this result empowers others to speak out and seek justice. To those predators who still believe they can exploit, abuse and walk away unscathed: Your time is running out. The world is changing. And you will not outrun the consequences of your actions forever.' Her attorney, Gloria Allred, who has also represented women coming forward against Jeffrey Epstein, R. Kelly and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, added that this was confirmation that the #MeToo movement is not dead, as has been discussed in the press. 'That obituary was obviously premature and I don't think it applies at all based on my experience for almost 15 years in women's rights,' Allred said. Haley had testified to meeting Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival and then later getting work from him on Project Runway. He later invited her to a movie premiere in Los Angeles, which she accepted, and then stopped by his apartment before leaving. It was there that she said Weinstein backed her into the bedroom, held her down and forced himself on her orally. Her account was backed up by her former roommate, as well as a friend. All of this comes after Weinstein's 2020 rape and criminal sexual assault conviction was overturned in April 2024 after the court of appeals found the trial prejudiced Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. Weinstein was convicted on the charges related to Haley and Mann in 2020. Sokola was not part of Weinstein's 2020 case, but was a key witness for the prosecution in this one. She testified to meeting with Weinstein for lunch at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in 2006 and being invited up to his hotel room to see a script, as she pursued becoming an actress. When she followed him up, she testified that Weinstein asked her to come up to a hotel room to see a script and then forcibly held her down on the bed, removed her stockings and underwear and performed oral sex on her as she repeatedly asked him to stop. The defense team had sought to undermine her testimony by pointing to the fact that Sokola had not told her sister, who was at the lunch, about the assault, and even unveiled a diary from Sokola that did not include the sexual assault. As with the other victims, they also pointed to the fact that Sokola had received $475,000 as part of a settlement fund related to the 2016 incident with Weinstein. Sokola had also received a $3 million settlement in a civil lawsuit filed against Weinstein's brother Bob Weinstein, Disney and Miramax in 2019 related to an incident in which Sokola said she had been sexually assaulted by Weinstein in 2002, when she was 16. That incident was not charged in this case, but did come up in her testimony. As Sokola's attorney, Lindsay Goldbrum, pointed out at the press conference, it's also hard to prove allegations that happened 20 years ago beyond a reasonable doubt. 'For myself, it's the closing of a chapter that caused me a lot of pain throughout my life. And having prosecutors hear my story, go through all the details with me and believe me and support me was extremely powerful,' Sokola told reporters. And while Goldbrum also saw the conviction as a positive for the #MeToo movement, she added that it 'still has a lot of work that has to be done' in terms of the courts and judicial systems 'denying justice.'
