Tom Hiddleston: Jim Jarmusch's vampire film 'Only Lovers Left Alive,' starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston, joins Cannes competition Plus: four more new films added to the Official Selection BY GUY LODGE FRIDAY, APR 26, 2013 4:36 PM (HIT FIX)



The all-star Competition lineup for next month's Cannes Film Festival just got a little starrier. And sexier. "Only Lovers Left Alive," a vampire romance from veteran independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, was one of the more surprising omissions when the Official Selection was unveiled last week: Jarmusch has a long history with Cannes, after all, and the film was widely assumed to be ready in time.
