Organizers say the dark spy-comedy by Oscar-winning brothers Joel and Ethan Coen Burn After Reading will open this year's edition of the Venice Film Festival.
The movie stars George Clooney, John Malkovich, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins and Tilda Swinton.
Organizers said in a release Monday that the movie will have its world premiere on Aug. 27. The film tells the story of an ousted CIA official whose memoir accidentally falls in the hands of two Washington D.C. gym employees.
The festival opens Aug. 27 and culminates Sept. 6 with the awarding of the prestigious Golden Lion. The official lineup will be announced in late July.
