Fiennes, Cronenberg to get London Film Fest honors (AP)
LONDON ? Ralph Fiennes and David Cronenberg are to receive lifetime achievement awards at the London Film Festival.
Organizers said Tuesday that Fiennes will receive a British Film Institute Fellowship in recognition of “a singular career” that has blended arthouse dramas and mainstream hits.
Fiennes ? who plays evil Lord Voldemort in “Harry Potter” series ? said he was “extremely honored and delighted” by the award.
Fiennes’ directorial debut, “Coriolanus,” will screen during the Oct. 12-27 festival.
Cronenberg, the director of “Videodrome,” `’The Fly” and “Crash,” will receive the same honor in recognition of films “exploring the darker impulses and inner lives of his characters.”
The pair are due to receive the prizes at the London Film Festival awards on Oct. 26.
