as planned, for now. But festivalgoers are being forced to make their own decisions now given the prospect of non-refundable travel expenses.
Sony isn't the only studio that has banned nonessential travel for its employees. Warner Bros., Amazon and CAA are among those with travel restrictions currently in place, making Cannes logistics particularly tricky . Forfeiting a reservation poses a gamble given that Croisette-area hotel rooms are traditionally hard to come by during the run of the May festival. That phenomenon was compounded this year by the fact that half of the Carlton is under construction.
Still, some Hollywood veterans are holding on to their reservations, even if that means a possible forfeiture. Akin Gump attorney Chris Spicer travels annually to the festival and plans to do so again in May, so long as the festival is even partially functioning. "I can imagine that everything is being done to keep the festival alive. I just think there are massive problems with running a market at this time, with the number of people coming in and the number of meetings," says GFM Films co-founder Guy Collins, who has been attending Cannes since 1976.
An acquisitions executive for Chinese distributor Times Vision said the company would usually have booked flights and hotels by now, but so far had made no commitments to attend.
