Venice Film Festival premieres Musk documentary and new films
The Venice Film Festival on Tuesday premiered a lineup that includes Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary examining Elon Musk's power and global reach, Florian Zeller's psychological thriller Bunker starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, and Casey Affleck's Company, a 1975-set drama currently seeking a distributor. Gibney said Musk declined an interview and his reporting led him to challenge the Musk myth; the Musk film is scheduled for North American theaters in October. Bunker, created for its two leads, is set for Searchlight distribution early next year and could contend in awards season, while festival prizes will be decided Saturday.
