Cannes Announces 2022 Official Selection, Including ‘Elvis,’ ‘Top Gun’

During the pandemic, no major film festival was all shook up more than Cannes, but now, this all-important showcase for global art cinema looks to be finding its feet again, as artistic director Thierry Frémaux unveiled the official selection for the 2022 edition, scheduled to take place again in person from May 17-28.

Sounding optimistic at their annual press conference, back in person from a cinema on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Frémaux and festival president Pierre Lescure revealed Cannes’ highly anticipated 75th anniversary lineup. Already announced, the festival will host the world premieres of Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” and Tom Cruise tentpole “Top Gun: Maverick.”
