The Venice Film Festival is keeping their capacity level to 50 % in theaters. But those people who get in will get to see Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directing debut, and stars like Oscar Isaac, Penelope Cruz, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The whole festival should be dedicated to Oscar Isaac, he’s in five different entries including Paul Schrader’s “The Card Counter,” which I really want to see.
Kristin Stewart is starring as Princess Diana in Pablo Larrain’s “Spencer.” Larraine made “Jackie,” the film with Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy before Onassis. I sense a theme here!
