Jodie Foster Says the Day She Turned 60 Was ‘One of the Best’ of Her Life: ‘Suddenly Nothing Really Mattered’
As a source told PEOPLE at the time, “They are very private when they’re around people they don’t know. But when they’re together, it can be like they’re in their own world.”
Among the stars debuting new films at Sundance this year are Steven Yeun, Pedro Pascal, Michael Fassbender, Saoirse Ronan and Foster’s Panic Room costar Kristen Stewart.
Stewart, who has appeared in numerous Sundance premieres throughout her career, leads the cast of Love Lies Bleeding, a romantic drama from writer-director Rose Glass that costars Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Dave Franco, and Jena Malone.
The former Twilight actress, 33, also teams up with Yeun — following up the Sundance bow of the award-winning Minari — in Love Me, from filmmaking duo Sam and Andrew Zuchero. Its official logline suggests a romantic drama infused with sci-fi: “Long after humanity’s extinction, a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love.”
Additionally, Stewart is set to receive the Visionary Award at the Sundance opening-night gala on Thursday, meant to recognize the actress’s “work as an uncompromising artist and contributions to the field of independent film” over her two decades in the industry, the Sundance Institute announced last month.
