Cannes: Which Films Won't Make It to the French Riviera This Year?

Movies starring Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep are among those that likely won't be making the trip.

With the official lineup yet to be announced -- aside from Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby -- the 2013 Cannes Film Festival so far is being defined by which films aren't going.
In some instances, it's a matter of projects not being done in time.

Included in that group are Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave, starring Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Quvenzhane Wallis; Lee Daniels' ensemble White House historical drama The Butler; and Foxcatcher, Bennett Miller's high-profile follow-up to Moneyball.
