PREMIERE ANNOUNCED THIS MORNING AS PART OF VENICE 2015 LINE-UP
Some surprising news hit this morning as the Venice Film Festival announced its line-up. Among the non-fiction films revealed is a 109-minute documentary called De Palma, co-directed by Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow. Variety's Nick Vivarelli notes that the film marks "the first time the somewhat reclusive Brian De Palma talks in-depth about his life and career." Baumbach and Paltrow are friends of De Palma's, of course, and Baumbach has interviewed De Palma on camera twice now for separate Criterion releases: Blow Out, and the upcoming Dressed To Kill. The pair (De Palma and Baumbach) have also appeared on stage together at the New York Film Festival.Also announced for Venice is a 16-minute short by Martin Scorsese, The Audition, starring Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Scorsese himself, according to Vivarelli.
The Venice Film Festival this year runs September 2-12.
Meanwhile, speaking of Baumbach and De Palma, Ari Gunnar noted last month that Charles Grodin, who plays a legendary filmmaker in Baumbach's While We're Young (pictured here), was "cosplaying" in that film as Brian De Palma.
