Canneseries Opens With ‘House of Cards’ Showrunner But Work Commitments Force Jury President Norman Reedus to Cancel


Norman Reedus, star of 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, ' was replaced as Canneseries' jury head by Jeff Russo, the Emmy-winning composer of 'Fargo.'

He was replaced by jury member Jeff Russo, Emmy-awarded composer of “Fargo,” also credited for “Ripley” and “Star Trek: Section 31.” Co-jurors of the main competition remained actors Louise Bourgoin, Lola Dueñas and César Domboy, who walked the pink carpet on Thursday evening. The young French girls and other fans of the AMC spinoff of the flagship zombie show can, however, prepare for a similar adrenaline rush of excitement as Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan Smith, is expected to walk -very well alive- the Palais steps today next to creator Scott Gimple. The need for creatives to collaborate to stand high and fend for artistic quality, diversity, training and democratic values in today’s shifting times was underlined by Canneseries president Fleur Pellerin at the opening ceremony.
