CANNES, FRANCE—Glancing over their shoulders to make sure no one was watching them leave, the Cannes Film Festival jury reportedly sneaked off Tuesday to watch Mortal Kombat II. “Come on, no one’s looking, just go,” said actor Stellan Skarsgård, who ushered the rest of the jury members through an emergency exit door and down a back stairwell of the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière so the group could catch a 4:15 matinee of the video game adaptation. “Don’t worry, [Park] Chan-wook, we’re not going to get in trouble. We’ll be back before the last film’s over. They won’t even notice. God, aren’t you guys stoked to finally see something good? I haven’t seen a single decent fatality all week.” At press time, the jury members were said to be frozen in their seats after Cannes general delegate Thierry Frémaux entered the theater playing Mortal Kombat II and sat directly in front of them.
