This is totally unconfirmed but I think there’s a chance that the great Francis Ford Coppola will be attending Sitges this year. This is based on Tweets that I saw over the weekend, however I think they were in Catalan and unfortunately my Catalan is about as good as my Mandarin Chinese.
It would kind of make sense as I believe he’s visited Sitges a couple of times but from what I can see it wasn’t necessarily to the festival, it was to visit a restaurant called Al Fresco which had been recommended to him whilst he was visiting Barcelona. Also, his film ‘Youth Without Youth’ is showing in the Seven Chances section and he’s also got a new film out soon called ‘Tetro’ which could potentially be shown as a surprise session?
Let us know if you’ve heard anything.
The batteries have been recharged and the camera’s rolling once more. Dim the lights and turn up the night-vision. 
We’re also hearing that French Zombie film LA HORDE is likely to be playing at Sitges this year.
Fruit Chan’s DON’T LOOK UP is expected to be shown at this year’s festival, although as I write I’m still waiting for this to be confirmed. Our knowledge of his previous work is limited at best however a couple of years ago we managed to catch DUMPLINGS which was truly bizarre, but in a good way.
To commemorate 30 years since the release of this classic, Sitges will be screening Scott’s “favourite version” of the film that first had me checking under my bed. 
We’ve never seen any of the Troll films and I get the impression we haven’t missed much, but we’re suckers for documentaries about filmmaking.
