This year’s other Taormina jurors are Rupert Everett, multiple Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell, former Variety editor Steven Gaydos, and Italian actors Ilenia Pastorelli (“They Call Me Jeeg”) and Alessandra Mastronardi (“Medici”). The Sicilian cinema event, being headed once again by marketing guru Tiziana Rocca, has also announced John Wick” spinoff “Ballerina” as its out-of-competition opening film with director Len Wiseman and actor Norman Reedus in tow. The storied Sicilian event will host a screening of a restored copy of Scorsese’s 1976 classic “Taxi Driver” in the fest’s 8,000-seat open-air ancient Greek amphitheater in the shadow of Sicily’s active Mount Etna volcano.
