Jessica Chastain, Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Tilda Swinton & Marion Cotillard Among First Stars Confirmed For Berlinale But No Robert Pattinson Or Timothée Chalamet… Yet – Deadline
By Melanie Goodfellow Senior International Film Correspondent
Jessica Chastain, Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Tilda Swinton and Marion Cotillard were among a first wave of star guests confirmed for the 75th edition of the Berlinale at its line-up press conference on Tuesday.
Chastain will hit the festival as the co-star of Michel Franco’s Golden Bear Contender Dreams, while Whishaw and Hall will attend with Ira Sach’s Peter Hujar’s Day, which plays in the competitive Panorama sidebar. Sevigny is the star of another Panorama title, Magic Farm by Amalia Ulman.
Cotillard tops the cast of Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s Golden Lion Contender The Ice Tower in the role of the enigmatic star of a production of The Snow Queen, who bewitches a young runaway.
Other confirmed guests include Archie Madekwe, who co-stars in Berlinale Special Gala title Lurker; Rose Byrne, who tops the cast of Golden Bear contender If I Had Links I’d Kick You and Lars Eidinger, who leads the cast of Berlinale opening film The Light.
Watch on Deadline
The festival said it would unveil a more complete guest list on February 4, leaving questions around which other stars with films in its selection – such as Ethan Hawke and Margaret Qualley in Blue Moon: Robert Pattinson in Mickey 17, Timothee Chamalet in A Complete Unknown; Emma Mackey and Vicky Krieps in Hot Milk, and Jacob Elordi in The Narrow Road to the Deep South – will make the trip to Berlin this February.Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy.Signup for Breaking News Alerts & Newsletters
