UPDATED, with more detail: The Venice Film Festival unveiled the lineup for its 78th edition Monday morning with a notably strong studio presence after last year\u2019s near dearth of Hollywood titles and muted star attendance. Universal (with Blumhouse\u2019s previously announced Halloween Kills and Focus\u2019 Last Night In Soho and The Card Counter), Warner Bros (with Legendary\u2019s also previously confirmed Dune) and Disney (with 20th Century\u2019s The Last Duel) will all be represented in town and each was thanked by Venice chief Alberto Barbera for supporting the event. \u201cThere is a strong comeback of the Americans,\u201d he said. Scroll down for a full list of titles announced today.<\/p>\n
Also showing up is Netflix, which has a cozy relationship with Venice. On the streamer\u2019s roster are Paolo Sorrentino\u2019s The Hand of God and Jane Campion\u2019s The Power Of The Dog, both in competition.<\/p>\n
Venice has been a key jumping-off point for awards season in the past decade including hosting the simultaneous world premiere of eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Nomadland with Toronto in 2020. That film\u2019s Chlo\u00e9 Zhao is on the Venice jury this year, with Bong Joon Ho serving as president.<\/p>\n
If talent is willing and able to travel, Venice is set to be a very starry affair \u2014 all the better to raise profiles and launch global campaigns thanks to one of the best photo-op backdrops a festival can offer. Big names motoring in by speedboat could include Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Ridley Scott\u2019s The Last Duel; Kristen Stewart for Pablo Larrain\u2019s Spencer; Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst in The Power of the Dog; Antonio Banderas and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz with Competencia Oficial (the actress also doubling up with Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s opening night film Parallel Mothers); Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson and Ed Harris in Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s feature directing debut The Lost Daughter; and Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe in Paul Schrader\u2019s The Card Counter. Isaac has three projects in the selection including HBO series Scenes From a Marriage with Jessica Chastain and out-of-competition world premiere Dune which could also draw the likes of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and more to the Lido. Also pulling triple duty is The Great Beauty star Toni Servillo.<\/p>\n
Campion is one of five female directors in the main section, a dip from eight last year, though Barbera noted that overall female filmmakers represent 26% of the selection versus 28% in 2020, and remarked that the drop was \u201ca temporary situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barbera further noted that the quality of all films submitted was \u201chigher than usual as if the pandemic had stimulated creativity. Many had to be rejected because of a lack of space.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, he added that 59 countries are represented \u2014 including a heavy contingent of Italian titles from such filmmakers as Michelangelo Frammartino (Il Buco), the D\u2019Innocenzo brothers (America Latina), Gabriele Mainetti (Freaks Out) and Sorrentino, among others. French auteurs include St\u00e9phane Briz\u00e9 (Un Autre Monde, which stars Palme d\u2019Or winner Titane\u2018s Vincent Lindon) and Xavier Giannoli (Illusions Perdues). What\u2019s more, a new project from Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, Rhino, will debut in the Horizons section. Also in Horizons is Harry Wootliff\u2019s True Things which stars and is produced by Ruth Wilson.<\/p>\n
Venice runs September 1-11 this year and there will be similar Covid controls in place as with the 2020 edition. That means social distancing inside the cinemas and a Green Pass signifying vaccination status or a recent negative test for entry to screenings. Further controls are expected to be elaborated upon as the event draws near.<\/p>\n

PREVIOUSLY, 1:57 AM PT: The lineup for the 78th Venice Film Festival is being announced this morning from Rome. Fest director Alberto Barbera will fill in a list that we already know includes Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s in-competition opener Madres Paralelas, starring Pen\u00e9lope Cruz. Out-of-competition titles previously set include David Gordon Green\u2019s Halloween Kills from Universal\/Blumhouse and Denis Villeneuve\u2019s Dune from Warner Bros\/Legendary, both making their world premieres.<\/p>\n
Indeed the studios are expected to be back this year after 2020\u2019s fest was light on Hollywood titles. Still, Searchlight\u2019s Nomadland rode its way from the Lido all the way to three Oscars including Best Picture. Venice is a tastemaker when it comes to awards season, having in the past five years hosted the launches of Joker, A Star Is Born, Marriage Story, The Shape Of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, The Favourite, Roma, La La Land and Arrival, among others. Bong Joon Ho is jury president this year.<\/p>\n
While attendance is expected to be increased this year, with more stars present, there\u2019s currently a headache for visitors from the UK who are required to quarantine for five days upon arrival. However, the rule is due to be revisited on July 30.<\/p>\n
Outside the films, another topic that may be covered at today\u2019s press conference could be sanitary protocols. Venice last year was the first international gathering for the industry since the beginning of the pandemic, and set a high bar for handling the crisis even before vaccines were widely available. There were temperature checks at every point of access to the main staging area, socially-distanced seating inside the cinemas and an efficient online reservations system.<\/p>\n
Italy as of early July had about 55% of its cinemas open at 50% capacity limits. Last week, the government said a so-called \u201cGreen Pass\u201d would be required as of August 6 in order to enter cinemas, restaurants and bars among other establishments. The digital or paper certificate will show vaccination status (one dose is sufficient) or a negative Covid test within the past 48 hours. The film festival, which runs September 1-11 on the Lido, will surely have to abide by the same rules.<\/p>\n
