Photos of Matt in Berlin with Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman on Friday, and George Clooney and Stacy Keibler on Saturday, are at Just Jared. More photos are at the Daily Mail, DListed and PopSugar.
  
More comments from Steven Soderbergh on Behind the Candelabra are at the Hollywood Reporter.
THR: What's left to do on Behind the Candelabra?
Soderbergh: We're just starting to screen it now; we've just started doing long lead stuff. ... It airs May 26th, and it's gonna be interesting to see [laughs] how people react to what it is. I think people are gonna be surprised at how intimate it is, and that there's no attempt to make fun of them or to characterize, to make them seem like cartoons. Halfway through the movie, it's just a relationship, and that Michael [Douglas] and Matt [Damon] -- I can only describe it as a Thelma & Louisething: they just grabbed hands and jumped off the cliff. Like I said, it's so intimate and they're so not shy that I think that's the heart of the piece, and I'm really happy for both of them.
THR: Are you happy with it as a last project though?
Soderbergh: Yeah, I am. Honestly, I mean, if I can figure out a new way to come at what I do, then I'll come back and do it. But if I didn't -- if I failed at doing that and felt like, "I don't know how to do this in a way that's different than I've done before" -- and this was the last thing anybody ever saw, I would be thrilled because what it's about is totally connected to how I started. It's still, at the end of the day, two people in a room, and there's just a lot of rhinestone in it.
More wedding rumors are at the Daily Mail.

Then, Promised Land is announced in France with many interest.

-The "pitch" will obviously resonate in France where the shale gas debate raises for two years and where hydraulic fracturing was banned in 2011 because of the risk it poses to the environment.
Some 130 preview are planned throughout France from next week, according to the distributor.
Minister for Ecology Delphine Batho, "this is a film telling the behind the scenes of the development of shale gas in the United States and in particular the methods of oil companies."
"This is a committed film, undeniably," he told AFP the minister, currently in Canada.
The question is not decided whether the content of the discussions carried out during screenings will be paid to the national debate on energy transition. This debate was launched by the government to reduce the share of nuclear power, developing renewable energy and reduce our energy consumption.-
Promised Land will released on April 17th. Still one month to wait!! It's a good promotion for the movie and, as Matt said in Berlinale, if it didn't do well in the USA, I hope it will do better in the rest of the world!
And finally, Matt seems to attend Cannes's Festival, but I can't read the whole article!:
