Writer/director/actor Woody Allen will open the Cannes Film Festival in May with his new comedy ‘Hollywood Ending’.
The announcement signals the first time the film legend has ever attended the festival.
“Over the last few years, they [Festival organisers] have invited me so many times that I now want to offer them something in return: I will therefore come personally to present my film ‘Hollywood Ending’ which I think will be perfect for the event,” said Allen in a statement.
The Cannes Film Festival will take place on May 15.
