Crimes Of The Future.The director, best known for sci-fi horror films Shivers, Scanners and The Fly, is set to debut his latest project at this month’s Cannes Film Festival (May 17-28).Speaking to Deadline, Cronenberg said he expects some “very strong scenes” will provoke walkouts among the festival audience.“There are some very strong scenes,” Cronenberg said. “I mean, I’m sure that we will have walkouts within the first five minutes of the movie.
I’m sure of that. Some people who have seen the film have said that they think the last 20 minutes will be very hard on people, and that there’ll be a lot of walkouts.“Some guy said that he almost had a panic attack.
And I say, ‘Well, that would be OK.’ But I’m not convinced that that will be a general reaction.”Cronenberg doesn’t believe however it’ll provoke a response comparable to his 1996 film Crash, which was booed at the festival due to its depictions of graphic sexual acts.“I do expect walkouts in Cannes, and that’s a very special thing,” Cronenberg added. “People always walk out, and the seats notoriously clack as you get up, because the seats fold back and hit the back of the seat.
So, you hear clack, clack, clack.“Whether they’ll be outraged the way they were with Crash, I somehow don’t think so. They might be revulsed to the point that they want to leave, but that’s not the same as being outraged.
