"Heaven" to open Berlin film fest
HOLLYWOOD - The Miramax film Heaven, starring Cate Blanchett and produced by Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack, is set to open the Berlin International film Festival on Feb. 6, Daily Variety reported today.
The trade paper remarked that landing the film, which marks the English-language debut of German director Tom Tykwer, is regarded as a major coup for the Berlinale's new chief, Dieter Kosslick. Variety also reported that Robert Altman will head the festival jury. (His Gosford Park is expected to screen out of competition.) A spokesman for the festival declined to comment on the Variety report.
