Venice film festival: who will be there? Here are the first rumors!

The countdown has started for the 71st Venice International Film Festival, which will be held from August 27 to September 6. And inevitably, the desire to find out who will be the stars who will parade on the red carpet grows. There is a lot of curiosity, but the names are still few at the moment. It is certain that this year's godmother will be Luisa Ranieri and that the President of the International Jury will be the composer Alexandre Desplat.

The opening film (in Competition) was then announced: Birdman (or The unpredictable virtues of "ignorance) by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, starring Michael Keaton and, alongside him, other stars such as Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts.

And then we come to the rumors that have been circulating in recent days: many argue (or hope?) That director Paul Thomas Anderson may also be present with Inherent Vice, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Josh Brolin. Other titles could be Française Suite by Saul Dibb (with Margot Robbie, Michelle Williams, Sam Riley and Kristin Scott Thomas), Trois coeurs by Benoit Jacquot (with Charlotte Gainsbourg) e Eden by Mia Hansen-Love (starring Greta Gerwig). And Italy? There is insistence on the possible presence of what is already expected The fabulous young man by Mario Martone, biopic on Giacomo Leopardi, played by Elio Germano (in the cast also Michele Riondino and Anna Mouglalis). If the rumors will be confirmed? We will find out, hopefully soon!
