Here’s a small gem I missed during Cannes itself! Empire Magazine interviewed some of the cast of “Kaboom,” including Roxane, and it’s the first English-language interview of her I’ve ever seen on video! There’s also a bit at the beginning with “Rubber” director Quentin Dupieux. Screencaptures will be added to the gallery, but you can watch the video below. Enjoy!
Two bits of good news regarding “Kaboom” as Cannes reaches its close: it’s found international distribution with IFC, and it won the Cannes Film Festival’s very first Queer Palm, a new LBGT-themed award. Congratulations to Gregg Araki and the rest of the cast and crew (including Roxane, of course!)
UPDATE: “Kaboom” Claims First Queer Palm
Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom” was announced today as the winner of the inaugural Queer Palm, awarded to an LGBT film at the Cannes Film Festival, at a ceremony held at Zanzibar, the oldest gay bar in Europe and popular with gay fest goers. Sponsored by Gallic filmmakers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (“Cote d’Azur,” “The Adventures of Felix”), the Queer Palm joins Berlin’s Teddy and Venice’s Queer Lion, similar LGBT-themed awards at other major world festivals.
Back on the night of the “Kaboom” premiere, the cast was on French talk show “Le Grand Journal.” You can watch the interview itself here, although if you don’t speak French you aren’t missing much — it was rather rushed and awkward. However, I’ve added both screencaptures from the video and HQ stills of the interview and set. Check them out below!
And premiere photos are finally here! A big thank you to Melfan for some of the pictures and apologies for the short delay. Roxane looked beautiful in her gold Fendi! Be sure to take a look. There are also plenty of reviews rolling in now that “Kaboom” has screened, and reviews are mixed, but not terrible — and all seem to agree it’s a return to classic Araki.
Today was the day — well, night — of the premiere of “Kaboom” in Cannes, and earlier Roxane was at a photocall for the film along with several cast members and the director, Gregg Araki. Pictures from the premiere will be coming later, as they’re still slowly trickling online, but in the meantime enjoy these! I’ve added 74 pictures to the gallery and there will be at least a few more to come.
A beautiful new still of Roxane in “Kaboom” has been released! Check it out below.
Fabulous news! Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom,” in which Roxane co-stars, is going to screen at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. It has a midnight screening, so it’s not part of the competition, but nevertheless I hope it generates good buzz for the film and that Roxane will be at the festival to walk down the red carpet.
No news on a release date for “Kaboom” or a hint of a trailer, but there are two new production stills where you can see Roxane in the movie! She looks lovely. Check them out!
Even though director Gregg Araki is a regular of the Sundance Film Festival, and even though it made a couple Sundance prediction lists, “Kaboom” is sadly not part of the 2010 festival line-up. Both lists of films in competition and films screening out-of-competition have been released.
First of all, Roxane’s character in “Kaboom” finally has a name! It’s Lorelei. Secondly, here’s our second glimpse at Roxane in character! Thank you to her Facebook Fan Page for the image. I’m hoping for at least a teaser trailer in the next couple months, particularly if the film does manage to sneak into Sundance.
