7 new movies premiering at Venice Film Festival that we can't wait to see

gamesradar.com:

The line-up for this year's Venice Film Festival is here – and it's jam-packed with premieres of some of the most exciting movies still to come this year. The program features new titles from directors including David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola, and Ava DuVernay, and we've outlined our top picks that we think you should be keeping an eye out for, whether you're on the Lido or not.

Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist, was recently dropped from the program after its release date was pushed back from September 2023 to April 2024, and Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things has also been bumped down the release calendar due to the ongoing actors' strike. The latter movie is still set to premiere at the festival, although things will look a little different on the Lido this year – with SAG-AFTRA still striking, none of the films' casts will be making an appearance to promote their movies. 

David Fincher is back with his first feature since 2020's Mank. Based on the series of graphic novels by Alexis Nolent, The Killer will follow Christian (Michael Fassbender), a cold-blooded assassin, who begins to have a psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass. Fincher re-teamed with screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker for the film, who he previously worked with on Seven. The movie will be released on Netflix on November 10.  

Michael Mann is back in the director's chair for the first time since 2015 with Ferrari, which stars Adam Driver as car manufacturer founder Enzo Ferrari. Set over the eventful summer of 1957, the movie follows Enzo in crisis as he deals with the threat of bankruptcy, the death of his son, and a failing marriage with his wife Laura (Penélope Cruz).
