The Stars Wars flick is being dubbed as the biggest movie of the year, so tons of celebs hit the carpet for the screening. Do you think it'll surpass Black Panther's box office success?

“When I heard they were making these, I told my agent, ‘If they’re making anything with Lando in it, I have to be Lando,’” Donald said in a recent interview.

“And he was like, ‘I hear you. I don’t like your odds,’” he said.“That was exactly what I needed to hear. I really auditioned like it was the only role I wanted in the world. It really was.”

Full circle moment.

Filmmaker Spike Lee is shaking things up at the Cannes Film Festival with the screening of his new movie, Blackkklansman, which is based on a true story.

The famed filmmaker, wearing knuckle rings with love and hate on them, hit the red carpet alongside the cast, including Corey Hawkins, Adam Driver, Jasper Paakkonen, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace and John David Washington.

According to Deadline, "BlacKkKlansman follows a black detective named Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan, even becoming phone pals with the notorious David Duke (Topher Grace) in order to thwart a suspected attack. Adam Driver plays the detective who subs for Stallworth in his face-to-face meetings with the KKK."

During a recent chat with the press, Lee talked about how timely the film is with the Trump era and the rise of the Alt-Right as well as how he decided on the film's final scene. At the end of the film, Lee added actual footage from the Alt-Right protest in Charlottesville which took the life of 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyer.

“Right away, I knew that this had to be, you might use the word ‘coda’ for the film. But I had to do something first. I was not going to put that murder scene in the film without her blessing," Spike - photographed above with his wife Tonya Lewis Lee and their kids- said.

Lee asked Heather's mother if he could add the scene and she gave him permission.

“That was a murder and we have a guy in the White House who had a chance to say we are about love and not about hate and that motherf***er did not denouce the Klan, the alt right and those Nazi motherf***ers.”

In such a “defining moment,” Trump “could have said to the world, not just the United States of America, that we were better than that… We look to our leaders. They give us direction to make moral decisions. This does not just pertain to the United States. This right wing bulls*** is all over the world and we have to wake up and we can’t be silent.”

No. lies. told.

Lupita Nyong'o is a girl who loves to twirl and it's becoming her signature Cannes Film Festival move. Remember that green Gucci number she slayed in a few years back?
