Angelina Jolie, Jenna Ortega and Sigourney Weaver have arrived in Venice ahead of the city’s annual Film Festival which begins on Wednesday.

Actress Angelina, 49, looked as chic as ever in a beige trench coat ahead of the screening for her new film Maria – a biographical drama film about opera singer Maria Callas.

Her ex-husband Brad Pitt is also expected to be at the festival later in the week for his new film Wolfs which he stars in with George Clooney.

Jenna, 21, who stars in the Beetlejuice sequel which will open the festival, looked gorgeous in a pleated miniskirt and checked blazer as she arrived ahead of the 81st Venice Film Festival.

Her onscreen mother in the movie Winona Ryder, 52, who reprises her role as Lydia, was also spotted arriving but hid her face under a visor hat and was sporting a bizarre chin strap.

Maria is an upcoming biographical drama film about opera singer Maria Callas.

It is directed by Pablo Larraín, written by Steven Knight, produced by Fremantle, and stars Angelina Jolie in the title role, with Valeria Golino as her sister Yakinthi, and Haluk Bilginer as Aristotle Onassis.

Meanwhile Tim Burton‘s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will open the festival on August 28.

Jenna recently opened up about what it was like meeting Winona Ryder for the first time on the set of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

The Wednesday star plays Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz in the film.

‘She was so warm and welcoming and kind and inviting right from the jump, and I couldn’t be more grateful,’ Ortega explained in an interview with the New York Times.

‘It was at a time where my career was taking a different turn, and I didn’t realize that I needed that from somebody who could relate, but I did,’ she said, adding that she was in a ‘transformative’ period in her life after shooting to overnight superstardom on Netflix‘s Wednesday.

Sigourney, meanwhile, will receive the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award during the festival.

Sigourney said ahead of receiving the prize: ‘I am truly honored to receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from La Biennale di Venezia.’

‘To be gifted this award is a privilege I share with all the filmmakers and collaborators I have worked with throughout the years. I proudly accept this award in celebration of all who have helped bring these films to life.’

The 81st Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and will be held on the Lido di Venezia from 28 August to 7 September.

As well as Sigourney and the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice cast, there is an array of A-listers expected to descend on Venice over the coming days.

George Clooney is already in town, alongside his wife Amal, for the debut of his anticipated new movie Wolfs – the Jon Watts-directed heist thriller that reunites him with Oceans Eleven co-star Brad Pitt.

Both George and Brad will be in attendance at the September 1 screening.
