The 81st annual Venice International Film Festival, which kicks off Aug. 28 and ends Sept. 7 in Italy, revealed its star-studded lineup of new movies on Tuesday. Among the titles announced were Pitt's Wolfs and Jolie's Maria .
Pitt, 60, reunites with George Clooney , 63, for Wolfs , sharing the big screen for the first time in more than 15 years. The duo has not starred in a movie together since 2008's Burn After Reading . Wolfs , which will show at the festival out of competition, follows lone-wolf fixers who got assigned to the same job. The action-thriller is directed by Jon Watts ( Spider-Man: Homecoming ) and also stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams and Richard Kind.

Back in 2004, Jolie attended the Venice Film Festival for her animated movie Shark Tale , in which she voiced Lola. At the time, she brought son Maddox, then 3 years old, to the world premiere.

In 2007, she also joined Pitt on the red carpet at the festival in support of his film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford , in which Pitt portrayed Jesse James. He's been to the event a few other times, for Burn After Reading , Blonde and Ad Astra .

The actors share six kids -- 22-year-old Maddox, 20-year-old Pax, 19-year-old Zahara, 18-year-old Shiloh and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The 2023 Venice Film Festival took place during the SAG-AFTRA strike, which prevented many stars from coming out to support their movies. With the strike now resolved, we can expect many more A-listers with projects at the festival to attend.
After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Wolfs hits theaters on Sept. 20. Maria 's theatrical release date has not been announced.
