Stars will descend on the Lido as Pablo Larraín’s Maria Callas biopic contends with the Joker and Beetlejuice sequels for this year’s Golden Lion
The Venice film festival will this year feature one of its starriest lineups to date, with the likes of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga all expected to descend on the Lido.
The 81st edition of the festival, which runs from 28 August to 7 September, is back with a bang after it was deprived of its usual pomp and glamour during last year’s Hollywood strikes.
