Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, will reportedly premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
The news was broken today in Variety, though the festival has declined to comment.
Produced by See-Saw Films, Brightstar, BBC Films, Big Shell Films and Max Films, the Netflix original is written by Campion and based on the 1967 novel by Thomas Savage.
Set in the 1920s, the film follows Cumberbatch and Plemons as brothers Phil and George Burbank, who own the biggest ranch in the Montana valley.
When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Dunst), a shocked and angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her, using her effeminate son Peter as a pawn.
Also starring are Kodi Smit-McPhee, Thomasin McKenzie, Frances Conroy, Keith Carradine, Peter Carroll and Adam Beach.
The Power of the Dog is Campion’s first feature since 2009’s Bright Star.
