Actor Michael Douglas delivers a speech after he received the Honorary Palme d’or of the 76th Cannes Film FestivalMANILA, Philippines — Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola will return to the Cannes Film Festival with his long-awaited epic "Megalopolis", 45 years after winning a Palme d'Or for "Apocalypse Now", organizers said, announcing a line-up that includes major names of world cinema.
But all eyes are likely to be on Coppola's "Megalopolis," marking the return of "The Godfather" director to Cannes at the age of 85. This year's jury is led by "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig, who "embodies perfectly the soul of the festival," said Cannes president Iris Knobloch. Canadian horror maestro David Cronenberg returns with what is billed as his most personal film yet, "The Shrouds," with Vincent Cassel.
Success at Cannes can give a major boost to arthouse films such as last year's winner, "Anatomy of a Fall," which went on to win an avalanche of awards, including an Oscar.
