The Audi Dublin International Film Festival has just released its programme of events and guests for this year, and it's a pretty stellar line-up. 

This year's festival, A Valentine To Cinema, features a grand total of 80 films. Around 40 guests expected to descend on the capital during the 11-day event, which kicks off on February 18.

Among the names confirmed for ADIFF 2016 are Richard Gere – who'll attend the Arnotts Gala screening of his film Time Out Of Mind – and murder-mystery legend Angela Lansbury.

Other guests include Neil Jordan, Jack Reynor, John Carney and Killian Scott.

And even if your interest in film doesn't extend beyond getting cosy on the couch with a Disney classic, there's something for you at this year's festival.

For the first time, ADIFF will include a Fantastic Flicks line-up which includes screenings of Beauty And The Beast, Kung Fu Panda 3 and Zootropolis. Win.

Check out the full line-up and details of all events over on the ADIFF website, where online booking is now open.

During the festival you'll also be able to purchase tickets from the ADIFF Box Office on 13 Lower Ormond Quay or by calling 01 687 7974, with pop-up box offices at each venue for 30 minutes prior to each screening.

Poor Ryan Reynolds!

The actor is being consoled by his beautiful wife Blake Lively after his film, The Captive, was booed at the Cannes Film Festival.

Ryan stars in The Captive alongside Rosario Dawson but the movie was met with a bad reception when it was screened at the French festival.

It also received a scathing review from Variety magazine who called it “a ludicrous abduction thriller.”

The actor and his wife also chose to skip the after-party – with many speculating it was down to the bad reviews.

Thankfully, Blake was on hand to make her husband feel better about the whole affair, with a source saying: [It] looked like Blake was trying to cheer him up a few times … she rubbed his arm like she was consoling him and kept whispering in his ear.”
