Grant.Īlso strongly tipped are Kenneth Branagh’s “A Haunting in Venice,” with Michelle Yeoh and Branagh reprising his role as Hercule Poirot, Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” with Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, and Jeymes Samuel’s “The Book of Clarence,” with Omar Sy, LaKeith Stanfield and Benedict Cumberbatch.Augustana University is extremely proud to announce the graduating Class of 2023. “Nyad” marks the first feature film from Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, who won an Oscar for the doc “Free Solo.”Īmazon Studios is likely to be Venice-bound with Emerald Fennell’s black comedy “Saltburn,” which has a stellar cast comprising Rosamund Pike, Elordi, Carey Mulligan, Barry Keoghan and Richard E. Another top contender: “Nyad,” the biopic about marathon swimmer Diana Nyad, played by 2017 Venice jury president Annette Bening with Jodie Foster as her coach. The streaming giant will likely have other projects at the festival, too. Netflix, which is known to regularly have a robust representation on the Lido, could launch Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro,” though it’s uncertain whether Barbera has seen the film yet. Italian director Saverio Costanzo’s “Finalmente L’alba,” which is set at Cinecittà during the 1950s when the famed filmmaking facilities were known as “Hollywood on the Tiber,” features a stellar cast comprising Lily James, Joe Keery, Rachel Sennott and Willem Dafoe, is a sure bet, as is Matteo Garrone’s “Io Capitano,” about the Homeric journey of two young African men who leave Dakar to reach Europe. Though festival chief Alberto Barbera has yet to see several films that are likely to make the cut - such as Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley biopic “Priscilla,” starring Cailee Spaeny as the titular character and Jacob Elordi as her husband, Elvis Presley - other works have already secured a coveted Venice berth.
