I don't know, I'm a bit naive. But if we could let the planet breathe and let women breathe at the same time and that there are no more debates, no more absurdities, and no crazy things then it would be wonderful. And it is wonderful that a festival proposes so many strong documentaries and films about ecology because, ultimately, cinema is a weapon that transforms people and makes them change".
Spike Lee will direct 'Prince of Cats', a 1980s hip-hop take on 'Romeo and Juliet'.
Robert Pattinson has revealed that he is "sworn to secrecy" regarding Christopher Nolan's upcoming new action film and was "locked in a room" to read the script which he then had to hand back.
