As the summer begins to wind down in September, Hollywood is just getting started with a new crop of awards season movies premiering at the Venice Film Festival. Some of the first arrivals for the 83rd annual Italian fest included George Clooney, Laura Dern, Kate Mara, Claire Foy and jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal.
At the same time, in Los Angeles, Mark Wahlberg premiered his new movie, “By Any Means,” at the Paramount Theatre and Ryan Reynolds did the same for his and Kenneth Branagh’s Apple TV buddy comedy “Mayday.”
The following day, Jason Momoa and Noah Centineo jetted to Tokyo to launch their promotional tour for “Street Fighter,” the third live-action feature-length film based on the video game series of the same name.
There’s a lot more to come in September, including the Creative Arts Emmys as well as the Primetime Emmys, the Toronto International Film Festival and New York Fashion Week.
