Selena Gomez guest of honor @ Global Film & Music Festival!
Quote:
Gomez and teen actor Leo Howard add to the star power of the 12-year-old event already slated to host Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sylvester Stallone.
ROME — The Ischia Global Film & Music Fest announced Monday that actress, singer and teen idol Selena Gomez will be the surprise guest of honor at this year’s event, where she will be on hand for the international premiere of Rudderless, Gomez’s latest acting credit.
Rudderless, the feature film-directing debut from veteran actor William H. Macy, premiered to strong reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where The Hollywood Reporter’s John DeFore predicted the film would "be seen as a debut in keeping with Macy’s history of pairing memorable idiosyncrasy with commercial instincts." Rudderless will screen in Ischia July 19.
In a statement, Vicedomini called the 22-year-old Gomez a "stylistic model and a true artist."
