While there are no mentions of Terrence Malick, Variety are confirming the obvious in Aronofsky's Black Swan, Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff, Corbijn's The American, Schnabel's Miral, Coppola's Somewhere, Kechiche's Black Venus, Ozon's Potiche, Tykwer's Three and Cordier's Happy Few all making it to the Lido this year, but they've added a couple more brow lifters that I'll delve into below.

At the beginning of every month, IONCINEMA.com's "Tracking Shot" features about a half-dozen projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This June, we are keeping tabs on the newly announced docu-comedy project from Morgan Spurlock who'll be chasing nerd core of comic book fans at Comic-con this year. Jack and Diane seems to be going ahead this month with casting officially in place and announced during the Cannes film festival, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will begin filming his latest thriller with two big name talents on board and only one 11 year-old girl left to cast.

This May, we are keeping tabs on David Cronenberg's reunion with thesps from Eastern Promises which is set for an Europe shoot, we have Andrea Arnold taking over the Wuthering Heights project throwing out previously attached actors in favor of a mostly unknown Kaya Scodelario, and a yet to be determined male lead. Post-Precious, we have Lee Daniels working on what should be a much talked about film in next year's campaign.

The Hurt Locker logically wins in both of these sound categories, it should carry over onto cinematography, and if it does - this mean a sweep of the blue man group.

On the world cinema front, we have a new film from Aki Kaurismäki (filming in the North of France), we have Lou Ye joining forces with Tahar Rahim, and another auteur in Phillippe Garrel who will be directing Monica Bellucci.
