According to Variety
Director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas are in talks with reps from the Cannes film festival to bring the sequel to the event (which runs this year runs from May 14-25).
Were this to happen, it would serve as the movie’s official debut before its opening in theaters on May 22nd..
The folks at Dark Horizons are reporting that the studio is considering not opening the movie to press before its release, which means no advance screening junkets. That could either mean one of 2 things:
The movie isn’t worth much and the studio wants to hide it, or the studio knows the movie is critic proof and that any review would not impact the film's box office receipts
I find it hard to believe that the studio would want to hide the film for as long as possible because it's so bad. If the suits did decide to keep it under wraps--Why even consider a debut at such a high profile event like Cannes in the first place?
