The 79th Venice Film Festival will reveal its lineup this morning at 11 a.m. local time (2 a.m. PT/5 a.m. ET).
The press conference is being placed in the Biennale Historical Archive of Contemporary Arts Library in Venice, and speakers include Roberto Cicutto, President of La Biennale di Venezia, and Alberto Barbera, Artistic Director of the Cinema Department, who manages the Lido festival.
As new films are announced, Deadline will update the list of official selections below. Noah Baumbach’s Netflix drama White Noise, starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, is already announced. The film will begin the festival in competition, marking Baumbach’s return to Venice after 2019’s Marriage Story (which also stars Driver).
Don’t Worry Darling, a psychological thriller directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, and Chris Pine, is another film we hope to see on the Lido. Styles may be doing double duty with Michael Grandage’s My Policeman from Amazon Studios, while there is also buzz surrounding Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale from A24, Todd Field’s Cate Blanchett-starrer Tar from Focus, Luca Guadagnino’s Bones And All with Tomathée Chalamet, and Andrew Dominik’s long-gestating Blonde, which stars Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in the Netflix
