    Jane Campion Sits in "Sleeping Beauty"

    Oscar-winner (and Palme d'Or winner) writer/director Jane Campion ("The Piano") took a seat in the audience for the "Sleeping Beauty" press conference Thursday in Cannes. The controversial film screening in competition drew mixed reactions Wednesday after its press screening, with the audience audibly divided. Fellow Australian director Julia Leigh met Campion before going into production (her first film) on "Sleeping Beauty" and said during the conversation in the Palais des Festivals that she sought her advice throughout the making of the film.

    A nun attracted some relatively big attention after setting up her own make-shift shrine in front of the main steps of the Palais de Festivals in Cannes and said the Rosary in "protest" of the Cannes Film Festival's opening night film, "The Da Vinci Code" by Ron Howard. Workers were still laying down the red carpet on the steps, which will be the focus prior to the gala premiere for the film Wednesday evening.

    Perhaps the Luxor casino resort in Las Vegas is the inspiration for the venue that will house the "Da Vinci Code" party Wednesday night following its premiere? The luminous pyramid is located near old port in Cannes and will surely be a fun party for the lucky invitees (we're not among them). Incidentally, the "Da Vinci Code" crew reportedly broke a Guiness Book of World Records record for the longest continuous international train trip after traveling to Cannes from London via the Chunnel following a press conference in the British capital.
