Nicole Kidman has her work cut out for her this year.
The actress and Cannes darling will be appearing in a slew of films at the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival starting May 17.
“Nicole Kidman will be present at least two or three times,” the festival’s director General Thierry Frémaux said during a conference Thursday as he revealed this year’s exhibition slate, which has Kidman in four different films. The Oscar winner will appear in The Beguiled and The Killing of a Sacred Deer in competition, and in Top of the Lake and How to Talk to Girls out of competition.
The actress has been a festival regular for years and was even on the main jury in 2013. She also starred in the 2014 opening film Grace of Monaco. Kidman is fresh off her acclaimed role in HBO’s Big Little Lies, with fans and critics alike speculating at least an Emmy nomination in her future.

The opening night film this year will feature Marion Cotillard and Charlotte Gainsbourg in French director Arnaud Desplechin’s Ismael’s Ghosts — a drama about moviemaking.
Projects involving Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will also have a presence at the festival this year: Stewart’s directorial effort — the short film Come Again — will be screened, while Pattinson stars in the robbery film Good Time. (Back in 2012, the former couple were spotted together for the first time, when they were seen getting cozy on a balcony after the screening of Stewart’s On the Road Again at the festival.)
