A sneak peek of Matteo Garrone's new film "The Tale of Tales" has been unveiled prior to the Cannes Film Festival's Thursday release of their official lineup.

Loosely based on the collection of fairy tales by 17^th century Italian poet Giambattista Basile, "The Tale of Tales" will showcase a fantastical ambiance featuring characters portrayed by Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, John C. Reilly, Toby Jones, Stacy Martin, Alba Rohrwacher, and Massimo Ceccherini, Indie Wire reported.

"The Tale of Tales" is slated for release in Italian theaters on May 14, 2015, Indie Wire wrote. Speaking to Variety about the movie's genre, Garrone said that he would describe "The Tale of Tales" as "a fantasy film with horror elements."

"The stories we chose to work with are amazing because they are so modern, so contemporary. They comprise a yearning for youth and physical beauty, the suffering of a woman willing to do anything to have a child, generational conflict, the struggle for power," the filmmaker told Variety.
