Douglas, 78, is known for a wide-ranging career that includes films such as The China Syndrome, Basic Instinct, Falling Down and Behind the Candelabra, all of which have been screened at Cannes.
"It is always a breath of fresh air to be at Cannes, which has long provided a wonderful platform for bold creators, artistic audacities and excellence in storytelling," Douglas, also known for Wall Street and Fatal Attraction, said in a statement. "From my first time here in 1979 for The China Syndrome to my most recent premiere for Behind the Candelabra in 2013, the festival has always reminded me that magic of cinema is not just in what we see onscreen but in its ability to impact people all around the world."This year's festival, its 76th edition, will run from May 16 to May 27.
