British star Robert Pattinson’s latest film, “Oasis” brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, as well as a four-hour documentary about Elon Musk, are all set to feature at the Venice Film Festival this year in September.
Organizers unveiled a program packed full of independent studio and arthouse productions but lacking major Hollywood support, a pattern seen at other European festivals this year.
A total of 20 films will compete for the prestigious Golden Lion top award over the Sept. 2-12 festival, including “Primetime” by Lance Oppenheim about an American TV show that sought to expose pedophiles. It stars Pattinson, fresh from his acclaimed performance as the villainous Antinous in current box-office champion “The Odyssey” by Christopher Nolan.
