2011 Venice Film Festival Lineup Is Incredble

30 July 2011 2:44 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Hot on the heels of the release of the first wave of films announced to screen at the Toronto Film Festival, comes the main lineup for the 68th Venice Film Festival, which runs from August 31 to September 10. There are a few highly anticipated films that appear here that are not yet scheduled for Tiff including the spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson. Also on the list is Roman Polanski‘s Carnage and the latest film from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, whose film Dogtooth made our best end year list both in 2009 and 2010. Personally my most anticipated film is A Dangerous Method by my favourite filmmaker David Cronenberg.

Check out the full list is after the break.

In Competition

The Ides Of March, George Clooney (Us) [Opening Night Film]

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Tomas Alfredson (UK, Germany)

Venice Film Festival 2011 Line-Up Announced

29 July 2011 2:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

This year’s line-up for the 68th Venice Film Festival, taking place between 31st August and 10th September, has been announced by the festival’s official website, and as expected, it’s more than a little bit fantastic, with a brilliant line-up of films set to screen in Italy.

Heading the jury this year will be director Darren Aronofsky, the BBC reported back in April, who won the festival’s top prize, the Golden Lion, back in 2008 for The Wrestler.

The list, as you can imagine, is a bit of a long one, so I’ve highlighted some of the hottest tipped to look out for beneath. Playing in competition will be:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, directed by Tomas Alfredson Wuthering Heights, directed by Andrea Arnold Texas Killing Fields, directed by Ami Canaan Mann The Ides of March, directed by George Clooney Quando La Notte, directed by Cristina Comencini Terraferma, »

Venice Lineup Includes Films From Cronenberg, Akerman, Polanski, & Andrea Arnold

28 July 2011 9:47 PM, PDT | CriterionCast | See recent CriterionCast news »

Just a few days after Tiff had announced its first 50 films from this year’s festival slate, the Venice Film Festival has announced their own lineup, and I must say, it’s one hell of a collective.

Criterion Collection nuts will have a field day here, as various directors from the collection will be bringing their new films to Italy this year.

First up, in competition, David Cronenberg will be taking his new film, A Dangerous Method, to Venice this year, making it one of the bigger fall festival season players this year.  Steve McQueen’s Shame will play this year, as will Andrea Arnold’s (Fish Tank) Wuthering Heights.  Roman Polanski will debut his latest film, Carnage, at Venice this year, as will Todd Solondz, who brings Dark Horse this year.

Out of competition, Chantal Akerman and Whit Stillman will debut their next projects, La Folie Almayer and Damsels In Distress respectively. »

2011 Venice Film Festival Lineup Includes ‘Carnage,’ ‘A Dangerous Method,’ and ‘Dogtooth’ Director’s Latest

28 July 2011 10:00 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Hot on the heels of the release of a massive batch of films [1] that will appear in the Toronto Film Festival, we've got the main lineup for the 68th Venice Film Festival, which runs from August 31 to September 10. We knew that George Clooney's The Ides of March would open the fest (the trailer premiered last night and you can see it here [2]) and this list confirms quite a few films that we imagined would be playing Venice. Our very much anticipated spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson is on the list, as is Roman Polanski's tense closed-room drama Carnage, starring Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz. And there is Alps, the second film from polarizing Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, whose film Dogtooth shocked, entertained and angered festival audiences in 2009. The full list is after the break. »

Venice Film Festival line-up includes new films from Soderbergh, Polanski, and Madonna

28 July 2011 9:15 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

The Venice Film Festival has just announced its official line-up, and it looks to be an embarrassment of cinematic riches. As noted by Variety, the festival’s competitive slate includes new films from David Cronenberg (the Freud-Jung thriller A Dangerous Method), Marjane Satrapi (Chicken with Plums), Abel Ferrara (4:44 Last Day on Earth), Roman Polanski (Carnage, adapted from the play God of Carnage), and George Clooney (The Ides of March), not to mention Alps, the new film from Yorgos Lanthimos, who made the creepily hilarious Dogtooth. Possibly even more fun are the films opening out of competition, including Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, »

Venice Film Fest unveils full slate

28 July 2011 6:48 AM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »

By Sean O’Connell

Hollywoodnews.com: The Venice Film Festival unveiled its full line up this morning, programming a number of big-ticket titles with serious awards dreams.

As expected, there is overlap between the 68th Venice Fest and the first wave of films announced for the Toronto International Film Festival, from Madonna’s King Edward VIII drama “W.E.” to David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method.” But Venice also boasts a few films that Tiff does not have on its schedule … yet. That would be Tomas Alfredson’s anticipated “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” and Roman Polanski’s “Carnage.”

The fest will open on Aug. 31 with the world premiere of George Clooney’s political drama “The Ides of March.” We have a full roster of films in and out of competition for the Venice Film Festival below:

Venice 2011 Line-Up Includes ‘Tinker Tailor,’ ‘Carnage,’ ‘Wuthering Heights,’ ‘Alps’ and Many More

28 July 2011 6:04 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

I always find it interesting to see what Toronto International Film Festival gets compared to Venice. There is certainly some crossover for the latter fest that begins a few days before Toronto, but Venice will usually get a handful of exclusive premieres. We already got Toronto’s initial line-up, and now Deadline reports on Venice.

At first glance, they are getting the big premiere of Tomas Alfredson‘s Let The Right One In follow-up, the spy thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. They also get Andrea Arnold‘s Fish Tank follow-up Wuthering Heights, as well as Ami Canaan Maan‘s debut Texas Killing Fields. Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Dogtooth follow-up Alps will be premiered there as well, along with Roman Polanski‘s Carnage. Steven Soderbergh‘s Contagion and Madonna‘s W.E. will be showing out of competition. Check out the solid list below.

Venice Film Festival 2011 Line-Up Revealed

28 July 2011 5:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

The line-up for the 2011 Venice Film Festival was unveiled a little earlier today and this year’s edition looks particularly stacked on the English-language side of things with a large number of dramatic outputs from the U.K. and U.S.

Dozens and dozens of high-intrigue fare are set to be premiering over the two week event which kicks off proceedings on August 31st with the George Clooney directed political thriller The Ides of March as an in-competition film. A trailer was released last night and you can see it Here.

The other big headliners include;

Working Title’s attempt to bring the classic John Le Carre novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to the big screen for the first time (though there was an amazing 70′s t.v. series with Alec Guinness that this film will need to go to some quality to beat) has been on our radar every »

Spy Kids Adds a Fourth Dimension

25 June 2011 4:33 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Well, just over a year after Avatar encouraged the Hollywood machine to overhype 3-D movies to the point where the fad is already fading fast, the hunt is on for the next great thing. Dimension Films thinks they have the solution, announcing that this summer’s fourth installment of the Spy Kids franchise will introduce the fourth dimension with Aromascope.

Of course, adding smells to movie (as opposed to movies that just smell) is nothing new, dating back to 1906 when canny filmmakers scented cotton wool and placed them in front of ventilators. Much as is happening now, after 3-D faded in the 1950s, people sought new gimmicks ot keep people away from the television and flocking to the theater. Italian director Carlo Lizzani called his process “AromaRama” and used it to screen Behind the Great Wall, a travelogue through China.

Hans Laube created Smell-o-Vision used in 1960’s Scent of Mystery. »

Do You Want to Smell Jessica Alba in "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World?" Now You Can with Aromascope in Glorious 4D!

24 June 2011 11:55 AM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

Leave it to writer/director Robert Rodriguez to cook up a new scheme for you to watch the fourth installment of his popular franchise, "Spy Kids."

Dimension Films has announced that "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World" is taking moviegoers to a whole new level in 4D with Aromascope!

Yes, not only will you be immersed visually, you will also get to smell the action!

Eewww?

This is not like the Smell-o-Vision created by Hans Laube for the 1960 film "Scent of Mystery" (scent coming from your theater seat) nor the AromaRama process invented by Charles Weiss for the China travelogue "Behind the Great Wall" for director Carlo Lizzani (scent coming out of your air-conditioned theater).

This Aromascope is similar to the John Waters scratch-and-sniff gimmick used in 1981 for "Polyester." For every ticket bought, you get an Aromascope card that will transport you to the wonderful world of "Spy Kids. »
