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.

It has come to my attention that, while in Cannes, Milla was photographed for unknown issues of Premiere and Telerama magazines (both presumably French mags). Please stay on the lookout for these issues, and if anyone is able to send in some scans, it would be most appreciated; I would love to see any new photos in hi-res, as I’m sure others would, too. Thank you.

In other news, it would seem Milla has won the Spike TV “Guy’s Choice” Award for Fiercest Female for her Resident Evil work. In the category, Milla was up against Summer Glau of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Congrats, Milla! The award show was held yesterday in Los Angeles - no word yet on whether Milla was there to attend it.

If you like it rough, these are the women for you. Go ahead… choose your favorite lethal lady.

Update: Since no new photos have surfaced, I think we are safe to assume Milla was not present at the Guy’s Choice Awards in L.A. (rather unsurprisingly, since she’s had a lot of other things going on this month anyway).

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!

Here’s a more proper update on today’s earlier report on Milla’s brand new ad campaign for Chilean department store, Paris. The commercial and behind-the-scenes clip are now available at our media archive, while screen captures of both clips are available at our gallery alongside ads and outtakes from the campaign itself.

Personally, the commercial is one my favorites! Milla looks absolutely stunning against the Parisian backdrop, and the commercial itself is beautifully shot. I highly recommend checking out all the media available on the campaign.

Some miscellaneous Milla news today (and finally some news! Hallelujah!). For starters, Milla recently posed for ads for Chilean department store Paris - the photos are (of course) brand new, and absolutely gorgeous. We’ll have a more proper update on this soon (including photos and caps), meanwhile enjoy this beautiful YouTube-posted commercial and behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot.

I also recently discovered Milla attended the Fendi Paris boutique opening in March. I’ve only been able to find one medium-res photo of her at the event so far - if anyone can send in more, please do so! Thank you.
