Top stars and directors head to Venice for high-powered 2025 festival

Hollywood stars, Oscar-winning directors, Asian heavyweights and European auteurs will vie for top honours at this year's stellar Venice Film Festival, all looking to make a splash at the start of the awards season. Running from August 27 to September 6, the 82nd edition of the world's oldest film festival will showcase a rich array of movies that spans psychological thrillers, art-house dramas, genre-bending experiments, documentaries, and buzzy studio-backed productions. Among the leading A-listers expected to walk the Venice Lido's red carpet are Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, George Clooney, Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac, Cate Blanchett and Amanda Seyfried. Netflix returns A who's-who of global directors will also be premiering their latest pictures at the 11-day event, including U.S. filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow, Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach and Benny Safdie, alongside top Europeans Yorgos Lanthimos, Paolo Sorrentino, and Laszlo Nemes, and Asia's Park Chan-wook and Shu Qi. Netflix, which skipped Venice last year, returns in full force in 2025 with a trio of headline-grabbing titles, including Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein', a new take on the classic horror tale starring Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth. Baumbach's comedy-drama 'Jay Kelly', starring Clooney, Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, is also in the main competition and on the Netflix slate, alongside the geopolitical thriller 'A House of Dynamite', with Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, and directed by Bigelow, who won an Oscar in 2010 for 'The Hurt Locker'. Venice fires the starting gun for the awards season, with films premiering on the Lido in the last four years collecting more than 90 Oscar nominations and winning almost 20, making it the place to be seen for actors, producers and directors alike. In the past nine editions of the Oscars, the award for Best Actress or Best Actor has gone eight times to the protagonists of films first seen in Venice, including Stone for her role in 'Poor Things' in 2024. Fighters and families Stone returns to Venice this year, teaming up again with 'Poor Things' director Lanthimos in an offbeat satire, 'Bugonia'. The indie icon of U.S. cinema, Jim Jarmusch, will be showing his 'Father Mother Sister Brother', a three-part tale exploring fractured families with a cast that includes Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Adam Driver and Tom Waits. Another U.S. film getting its first outing at Venice is the MMA fighter biopic 'The Smashing Machine', starring Johnson and Blunt, and directed by Benny Safdie. A very different biopic is 'The Testament of Ann Lee' - a musical take on the life of the radical 18th-century Shaker leader, which stars Seyfried and is directed by Norway's Mona Fastvold. European auteurs are well-represented, with Paolo Sorrentino's 'La Grazia', starring Toni Servillo, selected as the festival's opening film, while Hungary's Nemes presents the family drama 'Orphan' and France's Francois Ozon showcases his retelling of Albert Camus' celebrated novel 'The Stranger'. Another French director, Olivier Assayas, will premiere 'The Wizard of the Kremlin' – a political thriller about the rise of Vladimir Putin, starring Paul Dano and Alicia Vikander, with Jude Law playing the Russian leader. Tragic story of palestinian girl One film that looks certain to raise emotions is Kaouther Ben Hania's 'The Voice of Hind Rajab', which uses original emergency service recordings to tell the story of a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza in 2024 after being trapped for hours in a vehicle targeted by Israeli forces. 'I think it is one of the films that will make the greatest impression, and hopefully (won't be) controversial,' said the festival's artistic director, Alberto Barbera, his voice trembling as he recalled the movie. Among the battery of films being shown out of competition is Luca Guadagnino's MeToo-themed psychological drama 'After The Hunt', starring Ayo Edebiri, Garfield and Julia Roberts, who will be making her red carpet debut at Venice, Barbera said. The jury for the main competition will be chaired by U.S. director Alexander Payne. He will be joined by fellow directors Stephane Brize, Maura Delpero, Cristian Mungiu, Mohammad Rasoulof, and the actresses Fernanda Torres and Zhao Tao.

‘Love Island USA' Season 7 winner Amaya Espinal addresses Cierra Ortega's exit amid racism scandal

Fresh off her Love Island USA Season 7 win, Amaya Espinal joined Call Her Daddy to speak openly about her time on the show, her relationship with co-winner Bryan Arenales, and the controversy surrounding fellow cast member Cierra Ortega. Espinal, affectionately dubbed 'Amaya Papaya' by viewers, said of Ortega's abrupt removal, 'We all genuinely did not know. We did not get the chance to say goodbye. We weren't able to see her pack her bags. It literally just happened in the flash of an eye. It felt very unreal.' Ortega exited the series after screenshots of past Instagram posts surfaced, allegedly showing her using a racial slur to describe people of Asian descent. Following backlash, Ortega posted an apology video saying she 'had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did.' Espinal, a cardiac nurse from New York, responded by stressing the need for inclusive language. 'I definitely do think words matter, and everyone should be respected,' she said. 'I just hope that she learns from her consequences. She is a grown woman, so hopefully moving forward, this should not be repeated.' Espinal also reflected on the significance of her win with Arenales as the show's first Latino couple to take the title. 'My parents literally came from the Dominican Republic and didn't have the best upbringing. So, Latino culture to me is very, very huge. I feel blessed, and I feel so much gratitude.'

Most anticipated summer 2025 anime, Gachiakuta sees low viewership on Crunchyroll

Gachiakuta, described as one of the most anticipated series of the summer 2025 anime season, has struggled to live up to its high expectations on streaming platforms, according to FlixPatrol data. The anime, streaming on Crunchyroll in North America and available on Prime Video in some Asian regions, has yet to appear in the top rankings on either service. Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini previously described Gachiakuta as 'the biggest anime show in Japan' while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter. Purini said, 'It is one of those shows where, if you watch the trailer, you're hooked.' However, current streaming numbers have not reflected the series achieving widespread popularity internationally. Gachiakuta has received varied critical responses. A review by CBR described the anime as 'formulaic and unoriginal,' while IGN's Kirsten Carey noted that the series' characters and emotional narrative 'feel too shallow to sell itself on its own terms.' Crunchyroll's official synopsis for Gachiakuta describes a floating city where the protagonist, Rudo, is framed for murder and thrown into the Pit, where he must navigate a world of mutated creatures while seeking justice. While Gachiakuta's viewership has not yet matched its domestic reputation, fans have noted that future episodes may impact streaming numbers as the series continues. Gachiakuta Episode 2 releases July 13.
