Today, the Venice Film Festival opened today with Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin and Emily Watson who joined the world premiere of “Everest.” The 72nd Venice Film Festival will run until September 12 when the Leoni d’Oro will be assigned.
 
Baltasar Kormakur’s drama tells about the true story of a deadly 1996 blizzard on the mountain. Journalists who watched “Everest” showed positive interest, while The Hollywood Reporter called it “gripping and immersive”.
 
The last two films to open the Venice festival – “Gravity” in 2013 and “Birdman” in 2014 – went on to major Oscar awards glory.
