Amid the dangers of upcoming film festivals bearing a celebrity-free status owing to Hollywood strikes, there’s good news that stars like Adam Driver, Caleb Landry Jones, Mads Mikkelsen and Jessica Chastain will attend the coveted Venice Film Festival. While strikes continue, multiple sources report that Adam Driver will be there for his film, Ferrari by Michael Mann. In Ferrari, Adam plays the titular character of Italian car racing pioneer Enzo Ferrari.

Making it to the red carpet will also be Mads Mikkelsen for Danish director Nikolaj Arcel’s The Promised Land. Landry Jones is coming for Luc Besson’s Dogman while Jessica Chastain will attend the Venice Film Festival for Mexican auteur Michel Franco’s Memory. 

Also expected on the red carpet are Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, who play Priscilla and Elvis Presley in Sophia Coppola’s Priscilla, as well as Priscilla Presley herself.

As for how the SAG-AFTRA has raised no objection for these films to go through, it’s been reported that all the above films have obtained SAG-AFTRA interim waivers since they are indie productions that have not been produced by AMPTP members.
