The Cannes Film Festival is gearing up for a bumper year for its 75th-anniversary edition with a selection of big Hollywood names, buzzy newcomers, and a number of previous winners “a splashy return even as the conflict in Ukraine looms over festivities'.

“I honestly think this is one of the best Cannes line-ups in years,” said Scott Roxborough, European bureau chief for The Hollywood Reporter.

This year, the parties are back and Hollywood heavyweights will include Tom Cruise’s Top Gun Maverick, “ bringing the star to Cannes for the first time in three decades “ as well as Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. David Cronenberg will mark his return to horror films with Crimes of the Future, featuring Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart, and Lea Seydoux.

“Everyone wants to sort of come back for this moment, sort of this re-awakening of cinema here in Cannes,” said Roxborough.with a zombie film, Final cut, by French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, who changed the title from “Z, like Z” to strip out a reference to the letter Z, which has become associated with the war in Ukraine.
