James Gray's 'Paper Tiger' Earns 10-Minute Cannes Ovation as Scarlett Johansson Misses Her Own Standing Cheer

James Gray's anxious Cold-War-coda thriller 'Paper Tiger' premiered in the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Saturday night, May 16, and was met with a ten-minute standing ovation from a black-tie crowd of 2,300 — the longest reception so far at the 79th Cannes Film Festival. Adam Driver, who plays a burned-out Pentagon analyst, fielded most of the cheers alone after co-lead Scarlett Johansson — currently shooting an 'Exorcist' reboot in New York — failed to pick up Gray's FaceTime call from the festival floor. Bookmakers immediately moved 'Paper Tiger' to joint third in the Palme d'Or market.
