Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein drama “Maestro,” Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley movie, Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” David Fincher’s “The Killer” and Ava DuVernay’s “Origin” will be making their world debuts at the Venice International Film Festival this fall. Organizers announced the lineup Tuesday for the 80th edition of the festival, which despite the flashy names in the films could have a little less Hollywood glamour than usual gracing its picturesque docks and red carpet come September if the actors strike stretches on into September. The Venice Film Festival runs from Aug. 30 through Sept. 9.
