With the series finale of House, M.D. almost upon us, Hugh Laurie is poised to move away from the small screen and back into theaters. He has Andrew Adamson‘s Mister Pip scheduled for release some time this year and now, reports surface that he and Stephen Fry, are going to finally reunite after 13 years for the CGI animated film The Canterville Ghost.

But as is the way with Cannes, it's history already; all that's left is to pick over the bones. And that will assuredly be happening in the video we'll post later this morning, when Peter, Xan and Catherine run the rule over Rust and Bone, last night's biggie. We'll also have a gallery of red carpet pictures, featuring star Marion Cotillard and ice-cold director Jacques Audiard. (I've said it before, I'll say it again: he's the person I want to be when I grow up.)
