Jessica Chastain is set to preside over the jury of the Marrakech Film Festival which will take place Nov. 24-Dec. 2.
The festival, which generates thousands of local jobs and represents a source of pride for Moroccan people, was maintained in the wake of the earthquake that hit the country in September. As such, the 20th edition will be held and none of the A-list talent have canceled their attendance. A major cultural event in Morocco, Marrakech is one of the only international festivals of that scale where screenings and masterclasses are free and open to the public. Many high profile filmmakers and actors are expected to attend the festival.
Earlier this year, Chastain was able to attend the Venice Film Festival for Michel Franco’s “Memory,” which received an interim waiver from SAG-AFTRA.
Succeeding to Paolo Sorrentino, Chastain will lead the jury of the competition which comprises fourteen films by first- or second-time directors.

Variety has confirmed that Gellar is attached to star in the limited drama series “Sometimes I Lie,” based on Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name and which has received a script commitment with a penalty attached at the broadcaster.
In the series, Amber Reynolds (Gellar) is in a coma. She can’t remember how she got there, but she knows it wasn’t an accident.

We may not know where the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot will land yet — but we do have an answer as to whether or not Buffy Summers herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, will appear on it.
And that’s a no, as the actress told TheWrap in an interview Friday that she’s not involved in the project at all and that her story in that universe has been “told.”
However, she is still waving her Sunnydale High pom-poms for “Midnight, Texas” creator Monica Owusu-Breen’s take on the teen Slayer — which was announced last summer and is being executive produced by “Buffy” creator Joss Whedon.
