Before the ceremony, the festival will host the out-of-competition premiere of Schnabel's latest feature, 'In the Hand of Dante', starring Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, Al Pacino, John Malkovich and Martin Scorsese. 'I never dreamed I would become a filmmaker, let alone be honoured with this award,' Schnabel said in the statement.

Willem Dafoe '70s Pic Leaves Fans Shocked
You know Willem Dafoe. The actor, now 69, made his film debut in an uncredited role in the 1980 Western Heaven's Gate. Of course, he went on to star in a bunch of acclaimed movies, including the Spider-Man films, At Eternity's Gate, Nosferatu, and more. And it's perhaps fair to say that these days, Willem is more widely known for his acting work in the latter half of his career, with several internet users only recently discovering what he looked like in the '70s. Sharing a clip of the actor from a 1975 theatre production, one Reddit user jokingly branded him 'Willem DaFINE' as they praised his good looks. And before long, numerous other people followed suit, noting that Willem — who would've been about 20 at the time — looked really hot. 'He has the swagger and confidence of a man who knows he's blessed by the gods,' one person remarked, while someone else quipped, 'Willem DAFUQ?! 👀👀👀' Meanwhile, a few internet users suggested that Willem looked like a young Heath Ledger back in the day. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
