Gus Van Sant gets Cannes slot for 'Restless'

"Restless" was supposed to unspool at Sundance, but was yanked from the line-up a few weeks before the start of the mid-winter US film festival, reportedly because Van Sant felt it needed more work.
Something of a regular at Cannes, Van Sant, 58, won the Palme d'Or in 2003 for "Elephant" and collected the festival's 60th anniversary prize in 2007 for "Paranoid Park". His first Cannes nomination was "To Die For" in 1995.
This year's official Cannes selection is to be announced in Paris on Thursday.
