Despite the film not winning the Golden Palm, since its Cannes Film Festival premiere on May 24, there’s been a lot of new coverage on The Palermo Shooting and Milla available online. Here’s our small compilation of news and media related to Milla’s part in the film.

Kicking things off with new media, because we all love new media, don’t we? First off, we have the very first hi-res promotional still of Milla in the film, and she looks fantastic! Milla’s segment was shot in Germany shortly after the late September 2007 Resident Evil: Extinction world premiere, hence the noticeable baby bump. Furthermore, Liz was kind enough to send in some small screen captures of a clip from the film; the clip itself is currently available for viewing on YouTube.

In some less pleasing news, Variety critic Todd McCarthy caught the film onscreen in Cannes — and, unfortunately, wasn’t impressed, citing the film as being “nicely shot,” but suffering “from being both pretentious and inconsequential.” Milla is barely mentioned, and only as being “very pregnant.” You can read the review in its entirety at Variety.com.

I think that might be all for the moment in The Palermo Shooting area of things. More media coming up, hopefully already sometimes next week! Stay tuned.

Apologies for the delay in updates, today is the first time in a long, long time that I’ve had a solid internet connection. However, as I’m sure most have noticed, I have not been idle, and have steadily uploaded hi-res footage of Milla at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, which wrapped up on May 25, to the gallery all week. I’ve just finished adding nearly 500 hi-res photos of Milla’s various Cannes appearances; many thanks to Dale and Liz for sending in some of them!

In addition to updating the existing Cannes albums, I also added some photos of Milla at the festival Dior party on May 23, looking absolutely gorgeous in a ruffled, strapless black mini. Personally, Milla looked fantastic the entire time she was in Cannes! My personal favorite, however, is without a doubt her amazing closing ceremony look, which had my jaw drop to the floor the minute I saw it.

More of Milla at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival! On Saturday, as expected, Milla attended the festival premiere of The Palermo Shooting with the rest of the cast and director Wim Wenders — and my goodness, did she just steal the red carpet or what? This look definitely ranks among my favorites ever; what a beautiful and classy outfit! And where does she get those gorgeous headbands? 76 medium-res photos of her at the event have been added to the gallery.

Furthermore, on May 23, Milla attended the festival Dolce & Gabbana party in Mougins - some of you surely noticed I uploaded the first photos already on Saturday, but I wasn’t able update about it until now. More footage coming soon. Finally, on May 25, Milla was spotted at the festival closing ceremony, looking her best ever — simply flawless. The first 23 medium-res photos of this event at the gallery.

Finally, a big thanks to our regular contributors Dale and Liz for keeping us posted with Milla’s doings in Cannes and for sending in amazing hi-res footage of Milla at the festival! Hi-res footage from these events will be added to the gallery later this week (when I’m not running out of battery). Click on the below links to navigate your way to and through the new footage.

After much speculation I am most pleased to announce Milla is indeed in Cannes, and is thus most likely to attend the May 24 Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Palermo Shooting. I’m in a crazy rush right now, but I’ve nevertheless added the first 50 medium-res photos of Milla at the Cannes Film Festival amfAR Gala benefit and after party on May 22 to the gallery, with many more additions coming up. And may I just say how absolutely stunning Milla looked at the event! She never disappoints. Thanks to Dale for the heads-up!

Just a quick reminder to everyone that Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting, in which Milla makes a small cameo appearance as herself, will premiere at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully Milla will be attending!

Yay! The recent online speculation regarding Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting and the possibility of the film premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is finally over; The Palermo Shooting has been confirmed as one of the films in this year’s competition lineup! Congratulations to the entire Palermo Shooting team!

The festival will take place in Cannes, France on May 14-25 2008. Milla has attended the festival many times in the past - hopefully, with the premiere of The Palermo Shooting, this year will be no exception. She is, however, currently filming A Perfect Getaway in Puerto Rico.

The Palermo Shooting is a Wim Wenders-directed drama film, in which Milla makes a small cameo appearance. Check out our Upcoming Productions-page for details!

We have word of yet another new movie project for Milla! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Milla is set to star in the reality-based Alaskan thriller The 4th Kind:

Milla Jovovich will star in Gold Circle Films’ thriller The 4th Kind. Olatunde Osunsanmi, a former assistant to filmmaker Joe Carnahan, is making his directorial debut on the film, which he also wrote.

Although project details are being kept under wraps, it is described as a fact-based thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover-up. Jovovich plays a woman investigating the disappearances in the town.

A late-June start is being eyed.

Sounds exciting; congratulations Milla! However, I’m a little worried about what this means for Milla’s participation in the production of Azazel, which was also set begin this Summer. I suppose there will be official word on the matter soon.

Many thanks to Dale and Angie of Amy Acker Fan for the heads-up!
