The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival gets underway tomorrow, with all its promise of discovery, community... and totally random juries. The festival has announced its full list of luminaries who'll judge this year's competition slates — no doubt the only place where you'll find a collaboration between Kim Cattrall and Michael Moore, or see Whoopi Goldberg sharing a jury panel with Kellan Lutz, or the guy who discovered Justin Bieber possibly breaking a tie between Brett Ratner and Susan Sarandon. Like, huh? Check out the full spectrum of jurors (headed by jury president Irwin Winkler) after the jump.

Maybe it's because I've been obsessing more than usual over Joel Kinnaman since rolling through all of Season 1 of AMC's The Killing in a matter of days (I know, late to the party), but I dare any other Kinnaman-lover out there to watch the new trailer for Lola Versus and not fixate on the future RoboCop's 10 seconds of trailer screen time.

Tribeca time already? Believe it: The 11th edition of the Manhattan-based film festival has announced the first half of its 2012 program, led in part by James Franco's General Hospital behind-the-scenes psychodrama (!), the loooonnnng-gestating lesbian-werewolf romance Jack and Diane (!!), a hipster-crisis apocalypse thriller (!!!) and a fairly awesome-sounding Val Kilmer/Harmony Korine collaboration (swoon... faint... thud) — all joined by nearly four dozen other dramatic and documentary selections in three categories. They will follow the April 18 opening-night world premiere of The Five-Year Engagement. Read on for the full Competition and Viewpoints selections, and keep an eye on Movieline for more about Tribeca 2012 as events warrant.
