Jon Favreau, director and producer of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, starring Pedro Pascal, will headline the annual CinemaCon Creative Community Luncheon to be held in the afternoon on Thursday, April 16 at Caesars Palace’s Octavius Ballroom in Las Vegas. The host for this year’s Creative Community Luncheon discussion will be Matt Belloni, editor and founding partner of Puck News and host of The Town with Matt Belloni.
“Anticipation for a new ‘Star Wars’ movie on the big screen is sky high, making this an incredible way to kick off the summer movie season,” says Michael O’Leary, President and CEO of Cinema United. “This event presents a great opportunity to hear from Jon Favreau, one of the most talented filmmakers working today. I want to thank Jon, Matt Belloni for hosting, as well as the entire teams at Disney and Lucasfilm for helping ensure this luncheon will be the talk of CinemaCon.”
The annual luncheon, which is traditionally held on the final day of CinemaCon, will take place just ahead of The Walt Disney Studios’ presentation at 2:30pm PT, bringing the week to an epic close.
A cornerstone of the show, the luncheon is an opportunity for the global exhibition industry to hear directly from the extraordinary and innovative creators behind some of the year’s biggest theatrical releases. Past participants at the annual CinemaCon luncheon have included Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Edgar Wright, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Elizabeth Banks, Jerry Bruckheimer, Patty Jenkins, and Jon M. Chu. This year’s Creative Community Luncheon is sponsored by Fathom Entertainment and by D-BOX Technologies.
