Paul Schrader's 'The Card Counter,' starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Willem Dafoe and Tye Sheridan, will play in competition at VeniceFilmFestival Venezia78.
has unveiled a star-studded lineup full of hotly anticipated new works from Jane Campion, Ana Lily Amirpour, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Denis Villeneuve, Ridley Scott, Paolo Sorrentino and Edgar Wright — to name a few standouts — who are likely to bolster the Lido’s standing as an awards season kingmaker.
Gyllenhaal, who recently served on the Cannes jury, will be in Venice with her directorial debut “The Lost Daughter,” based on an Elena Ferrante novel and starring Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, Peter Sarsgaard and Italy’s Alba Rohrwacher. Cruz also stars in another hotly anticipated title looking to be lionized in Venice: the Spanish-language comedy “Official Competition,” revolving around a billionaire businessman determined to make a movie that will leave its mark on history. Pic is directed by Argentine duo Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat .
HBO’s limited series “Scenes From a Marriage,” starring Jessica Chastain opposite Oscar Isaac in an adaptation of the Ingmar Bergman film, will also world premiere. Rounding off the copious Italian contingent is dark thriller “America Latina” by twins Damiano and Fabio D’Innocenzo who made a splash in Berlin last year with “Bad Tales,” while Mario Martone is back with “Qui Rido Io,” a drama about Neapolitan theatre luminary Edoardo Scarpetta, played by Toni Servillo who, interestingly, also stars in Sorrentino’s already mentioned “Hand of God.”
Venezuelan helmer Lorenzo Vigas, winner of Venice Film Festival’s 2015 Golden Lion with his first feature “From Afar,” is also back with his second feature “The Box” , about a teenager from Mexico City, who travels to collect the remains of his father, which have been found in a communal grave in the northern part of Mexico.
