The names of the younger stars
that the crowd will likely call out for at the Venice Film
Festival are young actors that the festival's director, Alberto
Barbera, admits to not even knowing about.
"The young people ask for actors like Adam Driver or Emma
Stone, that few adults know about. Meanwhile, having Catherine
Deneuve here is something that the kids certainly won't even
notice," said Barbera.
The 71st edition of the film festival opens August 27 with
Birdman starring the 27-year-old Stone, as well as Michael
Keaton and Edward Norton, and runs through September 6th.
Paparazzi will clamor at the Lido for shots of Stone with
beau Andrew Garfield, her costar in Spiderman, star of the
much-anticipated film 99 Homes by director Ramin Bahrani which
will be shown in Venice.
Other stars with films at the festival this year include Al
Pacino, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Ethan Hawke, Viggo Mortensen,
Frances McDormand, and Owen Wilson.
