The festival’s impressive lineup will also include Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Michael Mann’s Ferrari, and Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, while Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is expected to premiere out of the competition. Comandante, directed by Edoardo De Angelis, will open the festival after Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers pulled out of the festival due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

Artistic director Alberto Barbera said that members of SAG won’t be present in Venice, but added that the overall impact of the strike on the festival will be “quite modest.”

“We will have, however, actors and actresses who have worked in productions that are fully independent and they are numerous in Venice, so we hope the red carpet won’t be so empty as some people have announced in the last few days,” said Barbera.

The 80th Venice International Film Festival will take place in Venice, Italy between August 30 and September 9, with Damien Chazelle presiding over the jury.

David Fincher’s retelling of the turbulent production of this cinematic masterpiece centers on Herman J. Mankiewicz, as he struggles to get screenwriting credit for the script he co-wrote with Orson Welles.

Mank is one of the most personal projects of Fincher’s career since it’s based on a script by his late father, Howard Fincher. It was shot entirely in black and white, and it stars Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Tom Burke, and Charles Dance.

Netflix is yet to confirm the official release date for this project, but it’s expected to come out this October and be eligible for the next year’s Academy Awards. Mank is Fincher’s first feature film since 2014 when he released the psychological thriller Gone Girl.
