While Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman, is opening up this year’s Venice Film Festival, the film I’m most eagerly anticipating that will make its premiere there is Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere. Starring Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning, this has buzz to be another Lost In Translation. Julie Taymor’s The Tempest is closing the fest and this film has an eclectic cast featuring everyone from Helen Mirren to Russell Brand. Also notable, we will see the latest offerings from Ben Affleck (The Town), Vincent Gallo (Promises Written in Water), Kelly Reichardt (Meek’s Cutoff), Julian Schnabel (Miral), and Francois Ozon (Potiche). And let the film festival season begin!!
