Cannes Film Festival Lineup: Wes Anderson, Richard Linklater, Ari Aster, Julia Ducournau, Kelly Reichardt in Competition
The Cannes Film Festival is revealing its 2025 lineup.
Earlier this week, it was officially announced that Tom Cruise will be back on the Croisette with “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” three years after the splashy premiere for “Top Gun: Maverick.” Artistic director and general delegate Thierry Fremaux, who is co-hosting the lineup press conference in Paris alongside president Iris Knobloch, told Variety last week that the festival received a record number of submissions, especially from the U.S. This year’s Cannes — which some have described as the first true post-strike festival — is expected to have a large contingent of established U.S. filmmakers, including Spike Lee with “Highest 2 Lowest,” Richard Linklater with “Nouvelle Vague,” Kelly Reichardt with “The Mastermind,” Ari Aster with “ Eddington “ and Wes Anderson with “The Phoenician Scheme.” The roster could also showcase several actors making their directorial debuts, including Scarlett Johansson with “Eleanor the Great” and Harris Dickinson with “Urchin.”
