The Venice Film Festival is all set to commence on August 31. And Noah Baumbach’s upcoming Netflix project, White Noise, has been chosen to open the festival. The film stars Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig as leads with Raffey Cassidy, Andre Benjamin, Alessandro Nivola, Jodie Turner-Smith, Don Cheadle, and many more in supporting roles.
White Noise is based on Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel of the same name. The film marks Baumbach’s first directional venture without an original story. Also, he wrote the film’s screenplay.
Driver plays Professor Jack Gladney, an expert on Hitler-related topics who teaches at The-College-on-the-Hill, in the film. He is married to Babette Gladney (Gerwig) and has four children/stepchildren. The “Airborne Toxic Event” ends up shattering Jack from the inside as that infamous and disastrous train accident casts a large amount of chemical waste all over his beautiful town.
The film has David Heyman’s Heyday Films and Uri Singer’s Passage Pictures as producers. Plus, Lol Crawley has handled the cinematography.
Baumbach’s White Noise is the first-ever Netflix movie to be opened at Venice Film Festival. His last project, Marriage Story, received critical acclaim with high praise directed at Adam Driver’s and Scarlett Johansson’s performances. The leading duo even bagged nominations for Oscars in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories respectively. Additionally, he has received screenwriting credit for Gerwig’s Barbie, scheduled to premiere on July 21, 2023.
The director expressed his feelings about White Noise opening the festival, “It is a truly wonderful thing to return to the Venice Film Festival, and an incredible honour to have White Noise play as the opening night film. This is a place that loves cinema so much, and it’s a thrill and a privilege to join the amazing films and filmmakers that have premiered here.”
