Venice Is Still Hopeful That Its Red Carpet Will Be Full Of Stars If Productions Such As ‘Ferrari’, ‘Priscilla’ & More Are Granted SAG-AFTRA ‘Interim Agreements’
deadline.comThe Venice Film Festival confirmed to us today it is hopeful that movies with SAG-AFTRA ‘interim agreements’ will bring their casts to the Lido.
While individual actors have yet to confirm their attendance and no Venice entries have confirmed receipt of an IA, this means it’s possible that independent movies including Michael Mann’s Ferrari, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, Michel Franco’s Memory, Robert Lorenz’s In The Land Of Saints And Sinners, Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast, Jack Huston’s Day Of The Fight, Saverio Costanzo’s Finally Dawn, Nikolaj Arcel’s The Promised Land, Luc Besson’s DogMan and Ava DuVernay’s Caste could in theory bring talent such as Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Jessica Chastain, Liam Neeson, Ciaran Hinds, Kerry Condon, Léa Seydoux, George MacKay, Joe Pesci, Ron Perlman, Lily James, Willem Dafoe, Joe Keery, Mads Mikkelsen, Caleb Landry Jones and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
Most of these productions have applied to SAG for an ‘interim agreement’, which would allow talent to promote the movies at festivals.
SAG has understandably prioritised arranging IAs for those indie projects currently in production but will now start to address those heading to fall festivals and hoping for promotional help from their stars.
