Not a whole lot of surprises with plenty of old Cannes favorites including Sean Baker, David Cronenberg, Jacques Audiard, Paolo Sorrentino and Andrea Arnold returning to compete for the Palm d'or, although I am pretty shocked that The Apprentice is ready to go so soon after it wrapped shooting.

Great to see Lorcan back in Cannes. Really hope The Surfer does well for him.

That's a solid and intriguing enough line-up so far. Curious to see what will appear at the Director's Fortnight and Critic's Week too.
