Reps for W.E deny it will be screened at Cannes

A rep for IMGlobal – the sales agent that is handling Madonna’s feature film W.E – says a French report claiming the film would appear at the Festival de Cannes is false.

While the French newspaper Le Parisien/Aujourd’hui said on Thursday that the film would appear at the festival, the Madonna-directed movie, which is currently in post-production, it is not expected to be completed in time for Cannes and is instead aiming for a bow on the fall film circuit.

The official selection of films that will appear at Cannes won’t be announced by artistic director Thierry Fremaux until April.
