The Cannes Film Festival has just announced that director Tim Burton will be Jury President for the 63rd Cannes Film Festival to be held from May 12to 23.
Upon accepting the invitation from Gilles Jacob and Thierry Frémaux, Tim Burton declared
“After spending my early life watching triple features and 48-hour horror movie marathons, I’m finally ready for this. It’s a great honour

to watching some great films from around the world. When you think of Cannes you think of world cinema. And as films have always been like dreams to me, this is a dream come true.
