'Amelie' actress Audrey Tautou to host Cannes opening ceremony

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 12:46 AM PDT

PARIS (AFP) - French actress Audrey Tautou, best known for the 2001 film Amelie, will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Cannes Film Festival next month, one of the organisers said on Tuesday.

The opening ceremony of the 66th Cannes Film Festival will take place on 15 May with the closing ceremony on 26 May, pay-TV operator Canal+ said.

Director Steven Spielberg has already been announced as the head of the festival jury.

Amelie, set in Montmartre, was a critical and box office success in which Tautou played a shy waitress who set out to improve the lives of those around her.

Tautou's latest film L'Ecume des Jours (Mood Indigo) by director Michel Gondry, opens in France later this month.

An adaptation of the Francois Mauriac novel Therese Desqueyroux, in which she starred, closed the festival last year.

The 2012 opening and closing ceremonies were hosted by The Artist star Berenice Bejo.

Luke Evans will be the new Dracula

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 12:32 AM PDT

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that British actor Luke Evans will play the lead in a movie about Count Dracula's beginnings.

Thirty-three-year-old Evans (pic) has stepped in to save this project, which started in the late 2000s under the working title Dracula Year Zero.

Sam Worthington toyed with the lead role around the time Alex Proyas wanted to direct the movie. The movie, now simply called Dracula, has the support of Universal. Gary Shore, a publicist who is moving into fiction, will direct the movie before the year is out.

The story will center on the events that led to the Romanian prince Vlad Tepes's becoming the first vampire in the history of the 15th century.
