Also included are pics that will make their Venice bows this year, like Western drama "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", Iraq-themed drama "In the Valley of Elah", and Tony Gilroy-directed "Michael Clayton."
Meanwhile, it is further learned that there will only be two movies encountering their world premieres at the event, one being Sidney Lumet's latest work "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" and the other "Gone Baby Gone", a drama mystery marking the the full-length directorial debut of Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck.
