Angelina Jolie’s major return to the big screen, after a significant hiatus, sees her portraying Maria Callas in the biographical film “Maria,” directed by Chilean Pablo Larraín. The film had its world premiere yesterday at the Venice Film Festival, a much-anticipated event.

Stars from Angelina Jolie to George Clooney gather this week at the Venice Film Festival, bringing a high dose of Hollywood pizzazz back to the watery city's sandy Lido.

With 21 films vying for the top Golden Lion prize, the 81st edition of the prestigious festival kicks off today, with Lady Gaga, Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt expected on the red carpet during the 10-day affair.

Above all, there was shock. That's the word people use when they remember Princess Diana's death in a Paris car crash 25 years ago this week.

The woman the world watched grow from a shy teenage nursery school teacher into a glamorous celebrity, who comforted AIDS patients and campaigned for land mine removal couldn't be dead at the age of 36.

Sci-fi epic blockbuster "Dune" and Jane Campion's dark Western "The Power Of The Dog" lead the nominations for this year's British Academy Film Awards, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga among those up for leading actor awards.

One of the most hotly anticipated sci-fi blockbusters in years finally landed on Sept. 3, as the world premiere of "Dune" arrived at the Venice Film Festival.
