Sundance: Who’s Going To Be There
The stars are out and shining bright at Sundance this year. Here are just a few of the stars expected to be attending.
Robert Redford will be appearing with no less a name than George Lucas for a panel discussion called “Visions of Independence.” The panel, part of Sundance’s “Power of Story” series, is the centerpiece of “Art of Film,” a program of events during the festival’s second weekend highlighting the craft and process of film making.

James Franco, who starred in a little film called “The Interview” that you might remember reading about once or twice in the news over the past couple of months, has multiple films premiering, including “I am Michael” which also features “Star Trek”’s Zachary Quinto, who is also expected to be in attendance.
Ewan McGregor plays Jesus and the Devil in “Last Days in the Desert”, a new telling of the biblical story of Christ’s 40 days of fasting and prayer in the desert.
Ethan Hawke is expected to be attending the premiere of “Ten Thousand Saints”, and Jared and Jerusha Hess, the Utah based husband and wife team behind such films as “Napolean Dynamite” and “Austenland” will be premiering their new film “Don Verdean”, which stars Sam Rockwell.
Other stars expected to be at the festival include Jesse Eisenberg, Lily Tomlin, Viola Davis, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick.
