The Cannes Film Festival unveiled its lineup for the 78th edition, which will be held from May 13 to 24. During the press conference presented by the festival's artistic director Thierry Frémaux and the president of the festival, Iris Knobloch, movies directed by already-established directors such as Richard Linklater and Ari Aster have been announced, among many upcoming and promising filmmakers including actors Scarlett Johansson, Harris Dickinson, but also Fatih Akin and Chie Hayakawa.
This year, the president of the jury will be French actress Juliette Binoche, who will be succeeding American director Greta Gerwig who presided over the prestigious jury in 2024. During the conference, Knobloch stressed the importance of having two women as president of the jury one after the other. On Binoche, she said, ''She is one of the few French actresses to have received an Oscar,'' She added: ''She embodies a permanent reinvention.''
In a press release, Binoche said, ''I'm looking forward to sharing these life experiences with the members of the Jury and the public. In 1985, I walked up the steps for the first time with the enthusiasm and uncertainty of a young actress; I never imagined I'd return 40 years later in the honorary role of President of the Jury. I appreciate the privilege, the responsibility and the absolute need for humility.'
It was announced a few days ago that Tom Cruise would be returning to the Croisette May 14 for the premiere of Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning. Another impressive cast will also be walking the red carpet this year, as Wes Anderson, a regular at the Cannes Film Festival, will also be presenting out of competition, his newest film The Phoenician Scheme, starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Tom Hanks, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright and Brian Cranston.
As always, many of these movies will set the tone for the rest of the year in movies but also for the next awards season. Indeed, for this year's Oscars, many of the nominated and awarded films had previously premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d'Or winner Anora, Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, or yet again The Apprentice, and Flow.
Frémaux announced that 2209 films were viewed this year ahead of the offical selection, which is noted to be an absolute record. As always, some categories will be updated in the next few days as the festival keeps announcing new titles in some categories, including the Special Screenings.

Sean Wotherspoon Links With Zellerfeld for 3D-Printed Footwear Line
American sneaker designer, vintage collector, store owner, and digital creatorSean Wotherspoonis celebrated for his pace-setting portfolio in sneaker culture and beyond. Following big-ticket collabs with the likes of adidas, Gap, and Porsche, the footwear aficionado is now launching Sean Double U, an all-new collection with 3D-printed shoe-makerZellerfeld. The line features two silhouettes: a sneaker made for movement, and a mule designed for ease.'Sean Double Uis about the different sides we all have,' saidWotherspoon. 'The sneaker is for motion. The mule is for slowing down. I wanted pieces that move with every version of you.' Both the sneaker and the mule are printed from a single recyclable material without glue, stitching, or factories; and to push the boundaries even further, each pair is custom-fitted through a straightforward foot scan. 'Most companies tell you what you cannot do,'Wotherspoonsaid. 'Zellerfeld built a stack where you design what you want, when you want. We could tweak a design in the morning and hold a prototype by the afternoon. That speed changes everything, not just for me, but for every designer who has ideas and nowhere to take them.' The Sean Double U Sneaker ($189 USD) and Sean Double U Mule ($149 USD) are now available to shop on Zellerfeld'swebstore. Each unit is made to order for each customer. See the designs in the gallery above.

Watch Charli XCX Join Air for ‘Cherry Blossom Girl' at Paris Fest
Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Brat, but Charli XCX instead spent the day reflecting on a 2004 album as she joined French electronic duo Air for a performance of their 'Cherry Blossom Girl' at Paris' We Love Green festival. Charli XCX served as headliner at the Paris fest, but before her performance, she popped up during Air's set to perform the Talkie Walkie track, with Air turning their video screens the color of Brat green in honor of the singer. More from Rolling Stone Charli XCX Thinks Her Next Album Could 'Be a Flop.'

Charli XCX, who also recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of her How I'm Doing Now, spoke about the much-anticipated follow-up to Brat. 'I don't really feel the pressure to create another record like Brat,' she said during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival. 'When I was making [Brat], even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received,' she continued. ' … So yeah, I don't really feel the pressure because I feel that you can never really do the same thing twice, and my next record will probably be a flop, which I'm down for to be honest.'

AMC Theatres announce shocking change that people aren't thrilled about: ‘That's already excessive'
Moviegoers at AMC Theatres are in for a rude awakening starting next month. A few commercials and coming attractions before a movie begins are expected — however, soon enough, AMC Theatres will be delaying the start times of movies even more. On July 1, AMC Theatres — the largest theatre chain in the U.S. and Europe — will be adding one additional commercial on top of the many that they already play after upcoming movie trailers and before the start of a movie. Advertisement Buckle up moviegoers — you're in for a long ride before your movie even begins, starting next month. Christopher Sadowski And people are not happy about this news. The news comes as part of a new deal with American cinema advertising company National CineMedia Inc., according to Bloomberg. Advertisement It's an opportunity for AMC to make some dough — as the movie theater chain will get a cut of the ad sales, as reported on by the outlet. 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance,' AMC said in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'This is a strong indication that this NCM pre-show initiative does not negatively influence moviegoing habits.' Advertisement The deal is a win-win for both AMC and NCM, as it serves as an opportunity for each company to earn back some of the revenue they lost during the pandemic, when all theatres were shut down. 'For the past five years, AMC has sought out crucial revenue that is not reliant on the increase of base ticket prices,' said an AMC rep in a statement to Deadline. 'We've done this through more and better moviegoing enhancements like our significant expansion of PLFs, a greater selection of food and beverage offerings, and the introduction of movie-going merchandise like popcorn buckets and other collectible concession vessels,' the statement explained. Although this news isn't the end of the world — and frankly, could be worse — people on X (formerly Twitter) are acting like it is. Advertisement 'I show up to every movie 30 minutes after the 'start time', and it is always exactly as the movie is starting. That's already excessive,' said one person. 'How could they possibly run more?' a grumpy X user wrote. 'Gee, great! So, more people will arrive 30 minutes after 'start' time and climb over people in the dark, at the beginning of a film, to avoid the trailers and additional ads! This is why I treasure my aisle seat. I will be arriving much later now,' quipped someone else. 'Glad my area only has Regals,' commented another unhappy person.
