Venice (In Competition) – Isn't it good, Norwegian Wood? asked John Lennon in 1965. Well John, responds Paul Martin, if you were making a spookily prescient reference to the 2010 movie which shares a title with your acoustic ditty then the answer is yes. Yes it is.

Venice (Out of Competition) – This year's Venice Film Festival begins for Paul Martin pretty much where FrightFest left off, as Danny Trejo and an all-star cast extend Robert Rodriguez' spoof Grindhouse trailer into a flesh-rending feature.

Two new trailers: Barney's Version and The Next Three Days

Take a look at the trailer for Barney’s Version, the adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s best-selling novel which stars Paul Giamatti and which is to compete in Venice this year. You can also peep the trailer for The Next Three Days, which stars Russell Crowe as an ordinary bloke who has to bust his wife out of jail. (It won’t be at Venice and it’s a remake of a French thriller.)

Helen Mirren as Prospera.
Oh brave new artwork that has such people in't: The Tempest poster
Oh brave new artwork that has such people in't: The Tempest poster

Julie Taymor’s The Tempest has a dynamic new poster out. The film is closing the Venice Film Festival and it’s one of the titles in the line-up we’re most anticipating. With Mirren playing the sorceress Prospera (a gender-switched Prospero), Ben Whishaw as the spirit Ariel and Djimon Hounsou as Caliban, can you blame us?

Venice 2010 addition: Vincent Gallo in Essential Killing

Jim Carrey might have been scared witless by it, but the number 23 clearly holds no fear for the organisers of the 2010 Venice Film Festival. They have just added Essential Killing, directed by Jerzy Skolimowski and starring Vincent Gallo, to their official selection, bringing the total number of contenders for this year's Golden Lion up to the figure which had Ace Ventura cacking his pants.

Okay, the 22 competitors for this year's Golden Lion were announced yesterday, and we offered a few snippets of info about some of the titles that immediately jumped out and biffed us on the nose. Far more detail is forthcoming today though, as we bring you what we know so far about the two-and-score movies in official competition at the Venice Film Festival 2010.
