• Romanian director Radu Muntean talks with Variety about mixing business with family when he cast his four-year-old son, Vlad, in his third feature film, Boogie.

Variety's Todd McCarthy raves that Clint Eastwood's film Changeling is "emotionally powerful and stylistically sure-handed." As if we had any doubt.

• Anne Thompson reports that due to unstable economic circumstances, buyers are cautious at Cannes this year. Except for Transporter 3 starring Jason Statham, that is, which looks to be doing fine.

Variety goes live on the red carpet with Gwyneth Paltrow and Sean Diddy Combs at the premiere of James Grey's Two Lovers.

• Documentarian Michael Moore dishes with Variety on his as-yet untitled sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, which he says has been a work-in-progress for the past couple of years.
