Zendaya Movie 'Challengers' Cancels Venice Film Festival World Premiere Due To Strike

Magnolia Pictures Acquires 'Invisible Beauty'; Doc About Pioneering African American Model Bethann Hardison Features Zendaya, Naomi Campbell

Venice is usually a glamorous springboard for awards hopefuls and big streamer and studio fare but its plans for U.S. buzz titles have been thrown into disarray by the strike, which forbids SAG members from promoting their projects. Venice announces its lineup next week and the expectation is that it will have a smaller U.S. presence than usual. Sofia Coppola’sis one movie that has long been earmarked for the festival and this week it announced its North American premiere at New York so the expectation is that Venice will have the Euro debut. But things are fluid. Studios are understandably jittery about launching projects without celebrity support and the expectation is that more changes to the release calendar will come.

With little sign of a breakthrough in negotiations between SAG and the studios, the fall festivals are likely to be heavily impacted, though TIFF boss Cameron Bailey yesterday told us he was confident of attracting a strong contingent of U.S. awards hopefuls.
