Cannes Fest Unveils Lineup of its 2025 Edition

The Cannes Film Fest is unveiling the lineup for its highly anticipated 78th edition, which runs from May 13 to 24.
Last year’s fest proved to be a banner one, with Palme d’Or winner “Anora” going on to score the Oscar for best picture and “Emilia Pérez,” “The Substance” and “Flow” also becoming awards winners.
The 2025 event is already shaping up to be a glamorous one with a large Hollywood presence — and of course, lots of stars. It was officially announced that Tom Cruise will be back with “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” 3 years after the splashy premiere for “Top Gun: Maverick.”
A few movies are always added after the presser across different sections, including in competition.
