From 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.

ReplyJuly 3, 2022 at 8:31 pm #1205003121I was wondering if there was a thread for Venice, and then I remembered this one. The full lineup will be announced on July 26, 2022. The festival will run from August 31-September 10.
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.

How reliable is he? He also seems pretty convinced Chazelle is skipping fall festivals for Babylon (I’ll be disappointed if that happens. I was hoping it would have a big festival presence).
ReplyJune 22, 2022 at 5:19 pm #1204993358From Disney’s Cineeurope presentation: Sam Mendes sent a video to talk about Searchlight’s Empire Of Light. The 1917 director said that after that film he had written this new one during lockdown and called it an “extremely personal story” about music and movies and finding love in unlikely places (https://deadline.com/2022/06/avatar-the-way-of-water-new-footage-thor-love-and-thunder-cineeurope-1235050452/)
ReplyJune 17, 2022 at 8:30 pm #1204988734In case this hasn’t been posted: According to Variety, Venice will announce its full lineup of films on July 27. Does anyone know when TIFF announces their lineup? Is it before or after Venice?
ReplyJune 16, 2022 at 3:25 pm #1204987008Have yall read the leaks? She apperently couldnt pull off the marilyn voice and lose her thick accent lol. I dont see this making it
I remember reading rumors that she struggled with Marilyn’s voice but we won’t know for sure until a full trailer/the movie releases. She did ADR sessions in late 2020 and posted about it on her IG stories.
“I tried! It only took me nine months of dialect coaching, and practicing, and some ADR sessions [re-recording dialogue after filming]. It was a big torture, so exhausting. My brain was fried.” — Ana de Armas on her Marilyn Monroe accent in BLONDE pic.twitter.com/YuQ1aSCDYN

ReplyJune 16, 2022 at 6:57 am #1204985293Thoughts on the release date? (regarding makeup: I think Ana looks great and look forward to seeing her in the “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” scene).
Jordan Ruimy thinks Netflix isn’t going to support the film with a big awards campaign. I know how many here feel about him, but I think he might be right. He wrote this on his post about the trailer: “A September 23rd release date has also been announced which means Netflix is semi-burying this one when it comes to their awards campaigning. It also means there won’t really be a festival run beyond the big three (Venice/TIFF/Telluride) if they even choose to show it.”
ReplyJune 16, 2022 at 12:08 am #1204985033Jean briefly talked about the film and her character in a new interview with The Guardian:
In Babylon, directed by La La Land’s Damien Chazelle, she plays a British film critic in the golden age of Hollywood. Smart has never done an English accent on screen, but going by her Winslet impression during this call, she has it nailed. The film – which also stars Brad Pitt as 1920s heartthrob John Gilbert, Margot Robbie as Clara Bow and Tobey Maguire as Charlie Chaplin – seems like Oscar-bait. It wouldn’t be surprising if it provides Smart with something new to go on her already crowded awards shelf.
Promisingly, Smart says playing this critic won’t be a complete departure from Deborah. “She knows she intimidates people – that people are a little afraid of her because they know she has the power to make or break a career. There’s an interesting twist in a big scene I have with Brad – you see a side of her you haven’t seen.”
