Venice Film Festival welcomes its first stars as Angelina Jolie arrives ahead of Maria premiere alongside Jenna Ortega and Golden Lion winner Sigourney Weaver... but Winona Ryder goes undercover


Jenna Ortega and Sigourney Weaver have arrived in Venice ahead of the city's annual Film Festival which begins on Wednesday.

George Clooney is already in town, alongside his wife Amal, for the debut of his anticipated new movie Wolfs - the Jon Watts-directed heist thriller that reunites him with Oceans 11 co-star Brad Pitt. Sources indicate that the schedules have been arranged so that the warring couple - who continue to be embroiled in legal action eight years after they split - will not be at the film festival at the same time. Venice regulars Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton are in town for Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language debut The Room Next Door while Nicole Kidman is screening her erotic thriller Babygirl on August 30.
