Renowned Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti's latest project, titled "It Will Happen Tonight," has been the subject of significant international interest, with a notable number of pre-sales arranged prior to its debut at the Venice Film Festival. The film's sales have been managed by Playtime, a Paris-based international sales agency, which has successfully secured deals across various territories ahead of the film's competition premiere on Saturday.
Starring prominent actors Louis Garrel from France and Italy's Jasmine Trinca, recognized for her performances in "La Storia" and "Supersex," the film is generating buzz in the lead-up to its screening.

The Venice Film Festival is known for showcasing high-caliber cinema, making it an ideal venue for Moretti’s return to the spotlight. As the festival unfolds, anticipation grows not only for the film’s premiere but also for the critical reception that often accompanies Moretti’s works, which are known for their unique narrative styles and rich character studies.
"It Will Happen Tonight" is expected to attract significant attention, both for its creative talents and its potential commentary on contemporary issues, a hallmark of Moretti's previous films. As more film enthusiasts and critics prepare for the festival, the growing interest in the film underscores its importance in this year’s lineup.
With Venice often seen as a launching pad for future award contenders, Moretti's film could very well position itself as a strong candidate in upcoming international awards circuits, depending on its reception this weekend. The film’s tagline and promotional materials hint at a distinctive approach that could resonate well with audiences, although the full extent of its storyline is yet to be revealed.
