Venice Film Festival Lineup Revealed

After Challengers pulled out of the Venice Film Festival last week due to the ongoing strikes, there was fear that the eventual lineup reveal would be a muted one. Well, that’s certainly not the case, as Venice has unveiled a star-studded lineup, even if many of the biggest names won’t be in attendance. The initial highlights look to be Bradley Cooper‘s Maestro, Sofia Coppola‘s Priscilla, Ava DuVernay‘s Origin, David Fincher‘s The Killer, Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Poor Things, and Michael Mann‘s Ferarri, among others.
