The 2024 Venice Film Festival is expected to be a star-studded event with several high-profile films set to premiere. Some of the films include “Joker 2: Folie à Deux,” starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, “Maria,” starring Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas, and “Queer,” starring Daniel Craig as William S. Burroughs.
Other films expected to make an appearance include “Wolfs,” starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and “Eden,” starring Jude Law and Ana de Armas.
Johnny Depp is also expected to make an appearance as the director of “Modì,” a biopic about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The film stars Riccardo Scamarcio as Modigliani and Al Pacino as art collector Maurice Gangnat.
The festival is set to run from August 28 to September 7, with Isabelle Huppert presiding over the jury. Despite Cannes gaining ground in premiering award-season movies, Venice remains the top destination for studios and streamers looking to build Oscar campaigns.
