You know you’re cool when you collaborate with Brad Pitt on a project and YOU’RE the reason it was a cool movie.

Nick Cave composed the terrific score to Pitt’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Cool.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (his band) made the infinitely listenable album Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! Cooler.

And now, Nick Cave is rewriting the remake of The Crow. Coolest.

Cave, who was recently hired to rewrite director Stephen Norrington’s Crow script, has been approached before to work on large scale screenwriting projects.

A little while back, boring swashbuckling Robin Hood alumni Russell Crowe asked Cave to write a Gladiator sequel. That would have been extraordifantastically cool.

Crack open that laptop and get writing, Mr. Cave. Dazzle us some more with your coolness.

Uh-oh! Universal may have made a $225 million boo-boo.

Yesterday, Russell Crowe's newest flick, Robin Hood, hit the Cannes Film Festival. As one of the opening films, the studio was ready to welcome a warm reception from the media and glowing reviews from attendees.

Yeah, not so much, at least not from the press overseas.

While domestically the film will probably do fairly well, across the pond there are those who are majorly pissed. Sources say that members of the French media were simply outraged and almost hostile after seeing how Ridley Scott portrayed their people. Apparently, at best, the French characters could be called "Gallic Keystone Kops."

That's really bad. Only frat boys and homeless people drink Keystone!

Then there was the London press, which not only called the film “horribly long … serious to a fault … a dull movie of the kind that doesn’t pay emotional dividends,” but also took a shot at Russell's acting chops saying, “Playing Robin with all the mumbling machismo he can muster, there are times when watching him is as fun as a visit from the tax inspector."

Ouch! That one's gotta sting!

There is a lot of money riding on this thing, so Universal better hope America steps it up on the flick's opening weekend and that French & English people don't read the papers.

Otherwise someone is in BIG trouble!

Stunning!

Cate Blanchett arrived to the press conference for her new film Robin Hood in a beautiful pink triple organza lamé cocktail dress by Armani Prive.

It's also rumored that at tonight's premiere Cate will be wearing an Alexander McQueen pre-fall dress that was handpicked by McQueen himself before he died.

We can't wait to see if the rumors are true!

Dame Helen Mirren joined her fellow accented actors and actress at the premiere of Robin Hood in Cannes.

Instead of going for a dramatic look, the actress kept it simple with a black one-sleeved gown by Elie Saab.

She wears it beautifully!

The rumors were true!

As predicted, Cate Blanchett arrived to the premiere of Robin Hood at the Cannes Film Festival wearing a beautiful Alexander McQueen pre-fall 2010 gown.

She definitely owns the look. If this dress was on anyone else, we're not sure they could pull it off.
