More Cannes: Un Certain Regard, midnight and special screenings.

Here's the official announcement from the festival. (See this previous post for the competition line-up.)

Another addition to the big out-of-competition premieres: Korean director Kim Ji-woon's western "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" — "The Host"'s Song Kang-ho is "the Weird." You can find the full line-ups for Un Certain Regard and the midnight and special screenings are after the jump. A few call-outs: "Wendy and Lucy" is the new film from "Old Joy" director Kelly Reichardt; James Toback chugs along, making films I have so far been totally unable to appreciate; and Jennifer Lynch, whose "Surveillance" is one of the midnight movies, is the daughter of David Lynch and hasn't made a film since her infamous 1993 debut "Boxing Helena." (You can find a trailer for "Surveillance" here.)
