Yes, it’s really happening! Earlier today, the Toronto Film Festival announced the first big chunk of their 2010 lineup, including not one but two movies starring Freida Pinto! Both Miral and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger are set to be screened at the film festival. This means that Freida is most likely to attend as well! Check out what the press release said of the two movies below.

Miral
Director: Julian Schnabel, UK/Israel/France, North American Premiere
A moving portrait of four Palestinian women since 1948, in the lyrical style Schnabel brought to “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.” Stars “The Visitor”’s Hiam Abbass and “Slumdog Millionaire”’s Freida Pinto.

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Director: Woody Allen, USA/UK/Spain, North American Premiere
Woody Allen’s latest comic ensemble piece follows a group of Londoners struggling with failing marriages, restless libidos, the perils of aging, and desires that drive a series of decisions with unforeseen consequences.

How excited are you for this?!

A brand new trailer from Woody Allen’s upcoming dramedy You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger has been released. This one’s in English, without foreign subtitles, for the US. It features a few new clips of Freida Pinto as Dia so it’s well-worth your look. Check it out below!

As mentioned in a previous post, the international trailer from You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger was released a couple of days ago. I have now added HD screen captures of Freida’s scenes featured in the trailer. She looks beautiful in the movie, and is wearing red in each scene as you might notice.

Simply click on the preview above to see them all in the gallery!

The very first trailer from You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger has been released onto the web! Unfortunately it’s in Spanish so unless you speak the language it’s a bit difficult to understand. However it does contain a few scenes with Freida Pinto looking stunning as Dia so it might just be worth the watch. Check it out below. I will post an English one when available!

Update: I have replaced the trailer with an English one!

The first teaser poster from You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger has been released, as have several new stills from the movie. Three of them feature Freida Pinto looking stunning in her role as Dia and they have all been added to the gallery.

Big thanks to the great Jess of Isabel Lucas Online for the HQ stills! A preview of one of the stills added can be seen above. Click on it to see all the new photos!

As mentioned before, the world premiere of Woody Allen’s latest movie You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger took place yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. Freida Pinto was not in attendance (as she’s busy filming Immortals) but co-stars Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, Lucy Punch, Gemma Jones and Woody Allen were there to promote it.

It’s been given mixed reviews, with some very good and some bad as well. You can read summaries and links to reviews here and I’ve featured a quote on Freida’s role below. Stay tuned for more information about the movie.

Brolin, Watts and Punch stand out in the film and Freida Pinto shows some true talent in her first role since Slumdog Millionaire where she was more the mysterious, pretty newcomer.

Unfortunately Freida Pinto won’t attend this year’s Cannes International Film Festival, due to shooting commitments. She was expected to walk the red carpet with the stars of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, the new movie directed by Woody Allen. Her spokesperson had this to say about Freida’s no-show:

“This is to confirm that Freida Pinto unfortunately will not be attending the Cannes film festival as she is shooting for Immortals in Canada. Her film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger directed by Woody Allen will be premiering at Cannes.”

The lineup for this year’s Cannes Film Festival was unveiled earlier today; with You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger being on the list! The movie, directed by Woody Allen, is set to be screened out of competition. It stars Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas and Lucy Punch.

Julian Schnabel’s Miral was nowhere to be seen on the list of movies heading to Cannes. However, a few more films are set to be announced later, let’s just hope that Miral is one of them! Check out the entire lineup at Variety.com!

The official announcement for the line-up at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is expected to be made tomorrow. Make sure you return to Freida Pinto Fan to find out if Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and/or Julian Schnabel’s Miral – both starring Freida Pinto, of course – are included. Fingers crossed! Stay tuned.

As this year’s Cannes Film Festival draws near, speculation on what movies will play is starting. According to sources You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger has been screened for the committee who loved it. So it’s expected to play at the film festival. Julian Schnabel’s Miral is also rumored to be heading for Cannes, after the director’s success with The Diving Belle and the Butterfly (which also played at Cannes). Freida Pinto plays the title role of Miral.

The 63rd Cannes Film Festival opens on May 12 with the world premiere of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. Check back to Freida Pinto Fan for more information about her movies possibly playing at Cannes!
