Thierry Fremaux and Pierre Lescure attend the 72th Cannes Film Festival Official Selection Presentation At UGC Normandie In Paris on April 18, 2019.Bill Murray fighting off zombies and an Elton John biopic tracking the singer’s early days will be among the highlights at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, though Quentin Tarantino’s hotly-anticipated latest outing looked set to miss out.
“Quentin Tarantino’s film is not ready...but he is sprinting” to finish it, Fremaux told a news conference, adding there was a slim chance it could yet make the lineup. One of the 19 contenders for the Palme D’Or top prize, the tale of a small town under siege from zombies boasts a star-studded cast including Murray, Tilda Swinton, Iggy Pop, Danny Glover and Selena Gomez.
Terrence Malick will also enter the competition with “A Hidden Life,” set against the backdrop of World War Two. “We’re watching this space, there’s a fundamental change happening in our habits,” festival president Pierre Lescure said. “In 3-5 years from now, we won’t be able to have a one-size-fits all approach for all films. We’re going to have to find more flexible, innovative rules.”Outside the competition, Elton John biopic “Rocketman,” starring Taron Egerton, will be one of the highlights of the screenings, with the singer set to attend.
