Jones's film screened the same day that Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford and other cast members from "The Expendables 3" rode in tanks down in the Mediterranean seaside town, adding a little star power to the festival. Canadian David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars", looking behind the tinsel of Hollywood, is a second competition film being shown later on the fifth day of the 12-day festival, giving it a heavily North American flavor. The awards, including the top Palme d'Or prize for best picture at the world's most prestigious film festival, will be given on May 24.
