Though the official line-up of the festival, that runs from September 2 to 12, will be out in Rome on July 30, it is likely to include latest creations from biggies such as Steven Soderbergh, Michael Moore, Joe Dante, Werner Herzog and Todd Solondz. Festival Director Marco Mueller and his team appear to have decided on movies whose actors would make it a point to fly down to Venice, helping the international event to avoid last year’s criticism of being star starved.Moore’s documentary Capitalism: A Love Story will have a go at the current economic crisis, while Soderbergh’s The Informant essays Matt Damon as an agriculture business price fixer.

The actress found it harder to convey her character’s emotion in new movie ‘The Burning Plain’ – in which she plays a self-abusing, sex addicted mother – than take her clothes off.
She said: “Being naked is one of those things I think people think of in an isolated, compartmentalised way, but sometimes it’s harder to do a scene where you have to bear a raw emotion of pain or vulnerability.
“That kind of nakedness is sometimes much harder than taking your clothes off.”
Oscar winner Charlize, who co-produced ‘The Burning Plain’, also revealed she never thought she would ever step behind the camera on her films.
The 33-year-old star …
