Rickman, who took on directing duties for a second time on A Little Chaos, plays the monarch with a penchant for lavish statements.
Actors Gary Lewis and David Hayman, and writer William McIlvanney, have already been confirmed for special appearances in this year’s festival, which starts a week today with the European premiere of new Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts comedy While We Were Young.
