The organisers of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival have just revealed that actress Robin Wright will appear this year. She joins other star names, including Russell Crowe, whose band will perform for the public on the opening night. But the festival will also have numerous other notable guests, as I found out from artistic director, Karel Och.
This year’s stars are Russell Crowe, Alicia Vikander, Ewan McGregor and you’ve just announced Robin Wright. Which of them will create the greatest excitement among the public in Karlovy Vary, do you think?
“It’s hard to know. But I’m sure Russell Crowe will cause amazing excitement.
“Not just because he’s an amazing actor, but because he’s a musician.
“I think if a famous actor plays music and sings, it’s that added value that is rather exotic for many people.
“It reminds me maybe of the visit of John Malkovich, when he presented his fashion show, or Tim Robbins, who also performed as a musician.
“So to be presented in a different light – that’s twice as exciting.
“But I wouldn’t like to underplay Ewan McGregor’s fame and importance, and of course Alicia Vikander.
“And Robin Wright, too – it’s quite an amazing year, I would say.”
