George Clooney's project The Ides of March will open the Venice Film Festival!

Via Variety:

George Clooney's "The Ides of March" has been tapped as the opening film of the 68th Venice Film Festival on Aug. 31.

Fest hasn't made an official announcement but a source not authorized to speak for the event confirmed the selection Monday.

Sony's dated the political thriller for an Oct. 7 limited release. Clooney directed from a script he co-wrote with Grant Heslov. He also stars in the film, which is based on the Broadway play "Farragut North," written by Beau Willmon.

Pic centers on a young press spokesman, played by Ryan Gosling, who falls prey to backroom politics. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei Jeffrey Wright and Evan Rachel Wood are also starring.

Sony nabbed U.S. distribution rights to "March" in November, with Exclusive Media Group handling overseas distribution.

Venice competition berths have been set previoulsy for Roman Polanski's "Carnage," David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method," Russian auteur Aleksandr Sokurov's "Faust," the fourth and final installment in his "Men of Power" series, and Philippe Garrel's "Un ete brulant" (A Burning Hot Summer).

Evan Rachel Wood Outs Herself as Bisexual

“True Blood” actress Evan Rachel Wood told Esquire Magazine this week that she was a confirmed bi-sexual.

Wood says,

"I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls... I'm into androgyny in general. I’m more like the guy in my relationships with women. I'm the dominant one. I'm opening the doors, I'm buying dinner."

It may not warrant her addition to our Top Ten Gay Hollywood lists, but we’re going to keep her on our radar.

Wood’s has been involved on and off with creep rocker Marilyn Manson - at one point announcing their engagement just months before calling it off.

While not admitting that she is currently in a gay relationship, she did say she was moving to New York and would be looking for, “a nice guy or girl” to settle down with.

Wood’s has just completed work on the movie “Ides of March” due in theaters this October and directed by George Clooney.

Based on the play by Beau Willimon, “Ides of March” tells the story of an idealistic staffer for a presidential candidate who gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.

Leave it to Clooney to bring an all-star cast including Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Evan Rachel Wood.
