Angelina Jolie has landed in Italy for the upcoming Venice Film Festival . The actress' biographical drama Maria about opera singer Maria Calla is premiering at the annual film event on Thursday, August 29.
Angelina was photographed on Tuesday, August 27, touching down in Venice wearing a beige belted trench coat over navy trousers and black boots. She completed the look with black shades as her blonde hair was down. In other shots, the 49-year-old was waving to the camera.
Ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, is also set to be at Venice Film Festival two days after Angelina's appearance. His action-comedy with co-star and friend George Clooney is premiering on Sunday, Sunday 1.
Many are wondering if the exes will run into each other, amidst their ongoing tumultuous divorce. Venice Film Festival Artistic Director Alberto Barbera answered that question in a conversation with Vanity Fair on August 15. He stated that the two actors appearances will "of course" be spaced apart.
"Angelina will be on the first day, on Thursday, [August] 29, and she will leave right after with Pablo Larraín to go to Telluride [Film Festival]. Brad will arrive only on Saturday, to Venice., " the director explained. "There is no way that they can cross each other at the Lido,"
Maria, which will be debuting for the first time, follows the life of the renowned opera singer who the Oscar-winner plays. It will tell the "tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the life of the world's greatest opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris," according to a press release. The film is directed by Pablo Larraín and additionally stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher and Haluk Bilginer. Pablo described Maria as the final installment in his trilogy of biopics about legendary historical women such as Princess Diana with Spencer and Jackie Kennedy with Jackie.
The film is a part of the in-competition lineup at Venice while Wolfs is showing at the festive out-of-competition. Wolfs, directed by Jon Watts, is about two lone-wolf fixers forced to work together on an assignment that leads to an unexpected journey.
The festival runs from Aug. 28 to Sept. 7. Other A-listers will also be there showcasing their projects such as Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix with Joker: Folie à Deux, Nicole Kidman with Babygirl, Kevin Costner with Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two, Daniel Craig with Queer, Julianne Moore as well as Tilda Swinton with The Room Next Door and more.
