After a trip to the Croisette last year with We Have a Pope, new Cannes Film Festival jury president Nanni Moretti now has his jury.

This year’s panel will be tres chic with French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier set to walk the famous red carpet steps of the Cannes Palais alongside German model-turned-actress Diane Kruger and Scottish international heartthrob Ewan McGregor.

Festival boss Thierry Fremaux made an appearance on Canal Plus’ morning show La Matinale on Wednesday where he said that Gaultier, Kruger, McGregor, American writer-director Alexander Payne and Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck would serve on this year’s feature films jury.

The festival completed Moretti’s 2012 jury team later in the day with the additions of British director Andrea Arnold, Palestinian helmer Hiam Abbass and French actress Emmanuelle Devos.

Moretti and his team will choose the Palme d’Or winner from this year’s 22-strong competition lineup. The festival runs May 16-27. (source)
