The Palm Springs Film Festival has unveiled the lineup for its 34th annual edition, announcing that Paramount Pictures’ 80 for Brady will world premiere as its opening night film on January 6, with IFC Films’ The Lost King closing it out on January 15.
Directed by Kyle Marvin, 80 for Brady is inspired by the true story of four best friends living life to the fullest when they take a wild trip to the 2017 Super Bowl LI to see their hero Tom Brady play. Cast members including Academy Award nominee Lily Tomlin, Academy Award winner Jane Fonda, Academy Award winner Rita Moreno and Academy Award winner Sally Field are expected to be among those in attendance at the fest to rep the film slated for release in theaters on February 3, 2023.
The Lost King follows an ambitious writer and amateur historian guided by instinct and spectral visions, who defies the academic establishment to unearth Richard III’s long-missing remains in a Leicester car park. The film directed by Stephen Frears stars Sally Hawkins, Shonagh Price, Helen Katamba and Lewis Macleod.
This year’s Palm Springs Film Festival will screen 134 films from 64 countries, with Scott Hamilton Kennedy’s vaccination doc Shot in the Arm also scheduled to make its world premiere. The line-up includes 35 of the International Feature Oscar Submissions for 2022, along with selections for Talking Pictures, New Voices New Visions, Modern Masters, Queer Cinema, Cine Latino, True Stories and World Cinema Now, and more.
“We are beyond excited to welcome back our beloved audience and filmmakers in Palm Springs. We’re especially thrilled to be joined by all four leads of 80 For Brady. The film is brimming with joy and heart, and it’s a perfect film to kick off our 34th edition,”
