The Venice film festival runs from 28 August to 7 September.
Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Stewart and Joaquin Phoenix will be making their way to the Venice Lido for the 76th Venice film festival after the full lineup was announced by festival director, Alberto Barbera.
Italian director Paolo Sorrentino is also due to bring his Young Pope follow-up The New Pope, again starring Jude Law in a Sky/HBO TV series.
However, in a move sure to attract controversy, the festival has given a competition slot to J’Accuse, Roman Polanski’s new film about the Dreyfus affair starring Jean Dujardin and Louis Garrel.
