Space drama Gravity to open Venice Film Festival

Deadline reports that Alfonso Cuarón‘s space drama Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney will open the 70th edition of the Venice Film Festival (August 28-September 7).

One day, during a routine spacewalk, an accident leaves the two completely alone in open space.
