This is from a recent Variety article about Netflix titles that might premiere there:
-As Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera begins to lock in his selection, Variety understands there are four Netflix original films in the Venice mix.
The streamer’s Venice titles include Andrew Dominik’s Marilyn Monroe drama “Blonde” starring Bond girl Ana de Armas (“No Time to Die”) as the Hollywood icon; Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise,” with Greta Gerwig, Adam Driver and Jodie Turner-Smith, which is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Don DeLillo; “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” the new film from Oscar winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu, which chronicles the story of a Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker going through an existential crisis; and Romain Gavras’ modern tragedy “Athena,” co-written by the French “The World is Yours” director with “Les Miserables” filmmaker Ladj Ly.
-Though Barbera still hasn’t personally seen many of the high-profile titles in the mix from U.S. studios and streamers — and he’s the one who must give the final thumbs up — the list of submissions being viewed by his collaborators is understood to also include lots of other hotly anticipated U.S. studio titles. These include “Bones and All,” which reteams Luca Guadagnino with Timothée Chalamet; Julia Roberts and George Clooney rom-com “Ticket to Paradise”; and psychological thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” toplining Harry Styles and Florence Pugh. After sparking a paparazzi feeding frenzy last year for “Dune,” Chalamet looks set to return to the Palazzo del Cinema’s long red carpet with Guadagnino’s U.S. road movie from MGM.

ReplyCopy URLFrom the same Variety article:
-Meanwhile, the Ol Parker-directed “Ticket to Paradise,” from Universal, would mark the first time Roberts comes to Venice. The same, of course, would go for Styles who is making the transition from pop star to actor for the second time after “Dunkirk” in Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling,” from Warner Bros.
-Also in the mix are Florian Zeller’s “The Son,” from Sony, which segues from the director’s Oscar-winning “The Father” and stars Vanessa Kirby, Laura Dern and Hugh Jackman. And, from Focus Features, Todd Field’s “Tar,” toplining Cate Blanchett as the fictional Lydia Tár, one of the world’s greatest orchestra conductors and the first female conductor of a major German orchestra. Blanchett is a Venice regular, who presided over the festival’s main jury in 2020.
Jordan Ruimy seems pretty convinced that Babylon is going to skip the fall festivals. I’ll be disappointed if that happens. I was looking forward to Chazelle premiering another film at Venice (La La Land and First Man both premiered there). He posted this recently:
Set to skip the fall festivals: Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” David Fincher’s “The Killer”, David O. Russell’s “Amsterdam”, Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pinocchio”, Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light”, Steven Spielberg’s “The Fablemans,” and (possibly) Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon”.
I know for a fact that Telluride is trying VERY HARD to get Chazelle’s film. Paramount hasn’t budged just yet, it’s still set to skip the fall festivals, the studio is also said to have absolutely no idea how to promote this one — “it’s getting a heavy R” one person close to the production told me.

ReplyCopy URLAccording to a new report from Variety, Don’t Worry Darling, Blonde and Tár are locked in for the Venice lineup. Baumbach’s White Noise, Bardo, Bones and All and Romain Gavras’s Athena are also highly likely to be part of the lineup: https://variety.com/2022/film/news/harry-styles-timothee-chalamet-cate-blanchett-venice-1235321778/

I think The Son will premiere at Venice and will be a part of the lineup announcement on Tuesday. Alberto Barbera confirmed on his Twitter account that Laura Dern and Vanessa Kirby will attend the festival (fans ask him which actors will go to Venice close to the festival’s start date and he usually replies).
