While the Indiana Jones star went for a bike ride, a new ticketing system went into meltdown
evoted Indiana Jones buffs, many in brown leather jackets and fedoras, staked out their positions in front of the Palais de Festivals far in advance of the premiere of the new adventure film. But a “very excited” Andrew Scott was happy to wait it out on the beach, glass coupe in hand.
The acclaimed actor, best known as Sherlock’s nemesis on television and for memorably raising the temperature of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s, was toasting the relaunch of the Carlton Hotel, one of the emblems of the fabled Croisette that vies each year to host visiting stars. Scott was in Cannes to watch his friend Waller-Bridge make her debut alongside Indiana Jones, but also to discuss new projects with producers.
The 76th festival has seen fewer deals and starry promotional stunts than usual, due to economic strains and the writers’ strike in Los Angeles. Restrictions mean no one based there can pitch a future script. But fans of the British director and festival favourite Mike Leigh can be heartened by news of the sale in Cannes of more European rights to his secretive upcoming, untitled film project. Originally rumoured to have an all-black cast, production was initially delayed by Covid.
