E’ Variety a bruciare sul tempo la presentazione del cartellone di Venezia, prevista per giovedì mattina, pubblicando una lunga lista di probabili film in concorso alla Mostra di settembre.
Si tratterebbe, se confermata, di una selezione di altissimo livello, ricchissima di giovani talenti e di importati ritorni. Maestri venerati, come Cronenberg, Polanski, Sokurov e Ferrara si affiancherebbero ad importanti promesse, chiamate alla verifica dell’opera seconda o terza, come Steve McQueen, Andrea Arnold, Yorgos Lanthimos, George Clooney, Mary Harron, Marjanne Satrapi, Tomas Alfredson ed Emanuele Crialese.
Tra gli altri spiccano il film di Madonna sull’amore tra Wallis Simpson e Edoardo VIII, il debutto della figlia di Michael Mann ed il ritorno di William Friedkin.
Dovrebbe esserci anche Steven Soderbergh, con Contagion o Haywire (o magari con entrambi?), forse fuori concorso, assieme a Jonathan Demme con un documentario su Katrina.
