The South by Southwest Conference and Festivals announced the features lineup and opening night film for SXSW 2018 and, of course, our first thought was: which celebrities will attend?!
John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place will be the Opening Night Film so there’s not doubt he will attend. But who else can we expect to see?
