Indiana flick to premiere at Cannes
The world premiere of the fourth in the Indiana Jones series will take place at this year's Cannes film festival.
Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will see Harrison Ford firmly back in the role for the first time in 19 years.
Clint Eastwood's latest movie as director, Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, and Steven Soderbergh's four-hour biopic of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara are among the 19 films competing for the Palme d'Or.
British hopes rest on Love You More, a film executive-produced by the late director and writer Anthony Minghella and made by artist Sam Taylor-Wood, which has been selected for the short film competition.
Soi Cowboy, filmed in Liverpool and directed by Brighton-born film-maker Thomas Clay, has been selected for the Un Certain Regard section of the two-week event in the south of France.
Woody Allen is also showing his latest film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, starring Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, out of competition.
The Palme d'Or went to Romanian abortion drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks And 2 Days last year and to Ken Loach title The Wind That Shakes The Barley in 2006.
The festival runs from May 14 to 25.
