Controversial Directors Take Center Stage at 80th Venice Film Festival Amid Hollywood Strike
– Due to an ongoing strike by Hollywood actors and writers, many stars may be absent from the 80th Venice Film Festival, allowing controversial directors like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen to dominate the spotlight.
– Despite the strike, the festival will still showcase films from top-name directors competing for the Golden Lion, including Sofia Coppola’s biopic “Priscilla” and David Fincher’s “The Killer.” However, the opening night film “Challengers” starring Zendaya has been delayed to next year due to the strike.
