Sundance. Non-competition lineup.

Sundance Film Festival "organizers have trimmed back the number of high profile, celebrity-driven titles in its Premieres section, offering 16 this year (down from 24)," report indieWIRE's Brian Brooks and Eugene Hernandez, who talk with festival director Geoff Gilmore and programming director John Cooper about the 2009 edition as a whole before laying out the titles and capsule descriptions lined up for Premieres, Spectrum, Spectrum: Documentary Spotlight, Frontier and Park City at Midnight.

Variety's Todd McCarthy lists the stars to keep a lookout for in Park City, at midnight or any other hour: "Richard Gere, Jim Carrey, William Hurt, Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Spacey, Uma Thurman, Mickey Rourke and Robin Williams, and new generation performers such as Kristen Stewart, Zooey Deschanel, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal and Ashton Kutcher."
