Tuesday marks the start of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where off-screen happenings are probably going to be just as dramatic as the plots of the star-studded premieres.
The much-awaited movies on the schedule include the independently funded movie Megalopolis by Francis Ford Coppola, and viewers will catch a glimpse of Sebastian Stan in The Apprentice as a youthful Donald Trump.
The most anticipated movies of the next two weeks will also feature the most recent entry in George Miller’s Mad Max series.
However, there are rumors that a number of performers and filmmakers may face public accusations of sexual assault; festival employees may go on strike; and an Iranian director is anticipated to attend just days after leaving his nation of origin following a prison sentence.
