From Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton to Selena Gomez and Bill Murray, see all the stars at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
Les Zombies: Luka Sabbat, Selena Gomez, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, director Jim Jarmusch, Sara Driver, Adam Driver and Chloe Sevigny attend the opening night screening of ‚The Dead Don’t Die‘ at Cannes.
What is always pretty flawless at Cannes, of course, is the legion of celebrities who come to the French Riviera for one of the most important film festivals of the year. The opening movie—the zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die by beloved Cannes auteur Jim Jarmusch—features one of the most eclectic casts ever to walk the red carpet, including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Tilda Swinton, Selena Gomez, and Tom Waits.

In addition to Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, the pre-festival favorite for the Palme d’Or is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time . in Hollywood, which will have its three stars—Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie—lighting up the red carpet. The supporting cast isn’t too shabby either, including Al Pacino, Lena Dunham, Damian Lewis and the late Luke Perry.
Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the film stars DiCaprio as Rick Dalton, an actor trying to transition from television to movies, while Pitt plays his stunt double and best friend. Robbie portrays Dalton’s neighbor, actress Sharon Tate, who was married to director Roman Polanski at the time and was murdered in her home that summer by followers of Charles Manson.
Cannes Duo: Selena Gomez (in Louis Vuitton) and Tilda Swinton (in custom Haider Ackermann) attend the opening screening of their film ‚The Dead Don’t Die‘.
Once Upon a Time will premiere 25 years after Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, and despite the omen the movie is by no means a lock for the award. Also in competition is Pain and Glory, starring Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, and directed by Cannes favorite Pedro Almodóvar.
