The Cannes Film Festival opens on Tuesday with Greta Gerwig's jury and a special award for Meryl Streep. This kicks off the 77th edition of the festival, held on the French Riviera. For the next 10 days, many famous stars will walk down the red carpet. The first movie to be shown is "The Second Act," a French comedy featuring Lea Seydoux, Vincent Lindon, Louis Garrel, and Raphaël Quenard. During the opening ceremony, Meryl Streep will receive an honorary Palme d'Or, a prestigious award.

Several highly anticipated movies will premiere at Cannes, including George Miller's "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis," and new films by Paolo Sorrentino, Yorgos Lanthimos, Andrea Arnold, and Kevin Costner.

However, this year's festival has faced some challenges. Earlier this year, French actor Judith Godrèche accused two film directors of rape and sexual abuse from when she was a teenager. This has brought a significant #MeToo moment to the French film industry. Godrèche will premiere her short film "Moi Aussi" on Wednesday, addressing these issues.All Rights Reserved

Burning Desire - Love And Sin by SpamtonsJC

A Judge Claude Frollo x Female Reader fanfic. You're both judges, and he's in charge of mentoring you, and teaching you the rules of the job. Will this melancholy judge accept his feelings for you, or suppress his emotions? The characters are mainly based off the Disney film, but occasionally parts of the novel as well. Reader is in her late 20s, Frollo is in his late 50s. Extra: Although he's still a bit obsessive, it's definitely more tame. I plan for it to have a nice ending, as I don't like tragic endings. There will be smut and romance of course. It's the first fanfiction that I'm writing, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Graduate from college - Check New cute chic haircut - Check One way ticket to Paris - Check Kate Perryman is ready for the best summer of her life! While she hasn't completely figured out what she's going to do now that she's a college graduate (perhaps majoring in English wasn't the best idea) she's not going to let that stop her from pursuing Henri - the cute foreign exchange student she met her last semester at the University of Kansas. What can go wrong right? Kate soon learns Henri has put Kate firmly in the past leaving her to traverse Paris on her own with little money and an even worse sense of direction. But things begin to look up when she stumbles upon her childhood friend Jeremy LeClair, and he invites her to spend the summer at his family's chateau. Of course, Kate can't say no! What she doesn't realize is that the chateau is rumored to be haunted by the two Chevalier sisters that mysteriously disappeared in the late 18th century amid scandal, murder, and a well-kept love triangle. While Kate tries to find out exactly what happened to them (and who the third set of bloody footprints belong to) she throws herself into life at Chateau de Langlois - enjoying the large swimming pool, vineyard, and gardens. What she can't understand is why Jeremy doesn't seem to return her affections! From Paris to Nice to Monaco and Cannes Kate truly has the most amazing summer but what would be perfection is the love of the man she knows has always been more than just a "friend."

"You are the worst boy, Theodore Laurence." -- For centuries, humankind has used the stars. Whether it be for navigating across unfamiliar oceans, for preserving myths and legends of great heroes who were bestowed a spot in the heavens by the gods, or marking the change from winter to spring, the stars are interwoven into the stories of humanity. But for Charlotte Kohler, the stars meant her father. After her mother falls ill and sends her away, Charlotte packs a few possessions, including her late father's beloved telescope, and travels to live with her cousins in Concord, Massachusetts. She expects a quiet and uneventful stay, but when she gets there she has anything but. -- Accomplishments: #1 in littlewomen2019 06/19/22 #1 in josephinemarch 06/19/22 #5 in laurielaurence 06/19/22 -- Based on the 2019 Little Women movie 30 August 2021 - 06 June 2022

Entrepreneuse of Dune by CurlyAllie

It is the beginning of a new era after the death of the Emperor of the Known Galaxy, Paul "Mu'ad Dib" Atreides. The interstellar jihad has been diverted, the Bene Gesserit powers vanquished, and the Empire disbanded. Paul's widow Irulan strikes out on her own as the majority shareholder of the C.H.O.A.M. Company, and his former lover Chani returns to her sietch on Arrakis where she will continue to lead as its "Sayyadina" and take care of his and Irulan's young son, renamed Usul Leto. But not all are pleased with these changes to the galaxy. House Corrino wishes to reclaim the power and prestige that they believe Irulan hastily squandered. Paul's mother, the Lady Jessica, is tormented by loss and shame. Meanwhile, Irulan and Chani are doing their best to rebuild their worlds that were nearly destroyed by religious violence and heartbreak. These competing desires will collide in a dangerous manner. In the pursuit of power, when one side will do anything, all sides stand to lose everything. This is a stage-or-screenplay sequel to "Sayyadina of Dune." A touch more smut. A lot more violence. And a whole lot more backstabbing! Inspired by the "Dune" Saga by Frank Herbert, Copyright owned by Brian Herbert Includes text from "Dune" by Frank Herbert,"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" by J.K. Rowling, the "Lawrence of Arabia" screenplay by Robert Bolt, and the "Dune" screenplay by Eric Roth, Denis Villeneuve, and John Spaihts
