Stanley Tucci, Rosanna Arquette to attend Sarasota Film Festival

Two more celebrities are headed to this year’s Sarasota Film Festival.

Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci and Golden Globe-nominated actress Rosanna Arquette will join the previously announced guests of actress Diane Lane, documentarian Rory Kennedy and actress-filmmaker Aisha Tyler.

Tucci, a frequent visitor to the festival who serves on its advisory board of directors, will participate in the "In Conversation With" series. His production company Olive Productions produced "Paint It Black," the directorial debut of actress Amber Tamblyn that will screen during this year's festival.

The actor has appeared in “The Hunger Games” films, “Julie & Julia” and “The Lovely Bones,” for which he received a Best Supporting Actor nomination. He also has directed movies including “Big Night” and his newest “Final Portrait,” starring Geoffrey Rush as the Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti.

Tucci recently appeared in the “Beauty and the Beast” remake as Maestro Cadenza and in the acclaimed Bette Davis and Joan Crawford FX series “Feud” as Warner Bros. studio head Jack Warner. He will also star in the upcoming zombie film “Patient Zero,” written by former Bradenton resident Mike Le.

Arquette will also participate in the "In Conversation With" series. She stars in the romantic comedy “Born Guilty,” which plays April 7 and 8 at the festival.

The actress is best known for films including “Pulp Fiction,” “After Hours” and “Desperately Seeking Susan,” which earned her a Best Actress — Comedy or Musical Golden Globe nomination. She has recently appeared in a slew of indie films such as "Lovesong," "A Critically Endangered Species" and "Frank & Lola."

“We are thrilled to have two amazing talents join this year’s festival,” said the festival's president Mark Famiglio in a statement issued Thursday. “Stanley is like family to this festival and his commitment to film both on camera and behind-the-scenes is a true testament to his love for the industry. Rosanna is a gem whose work on the big screen, the small screen, and off-screen reflects the diverse nature of the festival itself.”

The 19th annual Sarasota Film Festival takes place March 31-April 9.
