LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

A slew of Hollywood’s finest, including George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are expected to show up at the 65th annual Venice Film Festival.

George and Brad will be on hand to promote the Coen Brothers’ film “Burn After Reading,” which will open the festival, People reports.

This will mark Brad’s first major appearance since the birth of his new twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. It is not know if Angelina Jolie will attend with Brad.

Clooney will return to the festival as a bachelor. Last year, the actor attended the annual Italian celebration of film with then-girlfriend Sarah Larson.

It won’t only be an A-List boys club in Venice, Anne Hathaway is reportedly expected to be there promoting “Rachel Getting Married” — a drama about a former model, who has been in and out of rehab, attending her sister’s wedding.

Some of the other stars expected to attend include Charlize Theron, Evan Rachel Wood, Kim Basinger and Ralph Fiennes.

All the cinema action kicks off in August 27, in Venice, Italy.
