The full festival lineup for AFI FEST 2024 will be unveiled on October 1 and already includes a selection of highly anticipated films.

Clint Eastwood's "Juror #2," "Music by John Williams" and Robert Zemeckis' "Here" starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright are among the films on the list.

Other selections include "A Real Pain" from first-time director Jesse Eisenberg and stars both him and Keiran Culkin as semi-estranged cousins reconnecting on a tour through Poland. William Goldenberg will also make his directorial debut for the film "Unstoppable," which tells the story of real-life wrestler Anthony Robles who was born without a right leg and became a high school and collegiate champion. It stars Jennifer Lopez and Don Cheadle. "Nightbitch" starring Amy Adams as a stay-at-home mom whose life takes a surreal turn will also screen at the festival.

If you are interested in attending, passes are available at FEST.AFI.com. A pass alone does not grant entry to a screening, and passholders must reserve tickets in advance of the festival.

AFI Fest will take place October 23-27 in Hollywood.

ABC7 Los Angeles and On The Red Carpet are the official broadcast partners of AFI Fest.
