Colman Domingo to Host amfAR Venice Film Festival Gala (EXCLUSIVE)


Oscar nominee Colman Domingo will host amfAR's Venice Festival Gala on Aug. 31.

The official lineup has not been announced, but as Variety previously reported, films being eyed for the Lido include Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine,” featuring Dwayne Johnson as two-time UFC heavyweight champ Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his wife Dawn; Luca Guadagnino’s #MeToo-themed thriller “After the Hunt” starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri; and “Bugonia,” the latest collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone. Netflix looks likely to bring Noah Baumbach’s comedy-drama “Jay Kelly,” starring George Clooney as its enigmatic title character, and also Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” a new take on the classic monster movie with Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth. The streamer may also premiere “A House of Dynamite” about a missile attack on the United States from Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow with a cast comprising Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris.
