Director Noah Baumbach’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel “White Noise” has been selected to open the Venice International Film Festival in August, festival director Alberto Barbera said Monday. Greta Gerwig, who has a child with Baumbach, stars alongside Adam Driver, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy and Jodie Turner-Smith. The Netflix-produced film will be among those competing for the Golden Lion award, selected by a jury led by Julianne Moore. The rest of the slate for the 79th Venice International Film Festival will be revealed this week. Baumbach previously debuted his film “Marriage Story” at the festival in 2019.
