Kevin Spacey Set To Attend Venice Film Festival With Directorial Comeback ‘Holiguards Saga — The Portal Of Force’
https://deadline.com/2025/08/kevin-spac ... 236491857/

Kevin Spacey is set to follow up his off piste Cannes appearance with one at the upcoming Venice Film Festival in order to promote new movie Holiguards Saga — The Portal Of Force.

The sci fi-thriller marks Spacey’s first feature directorial effort in more than 20 years and his appearance on the Lido would also be a first in two decades.

According to the film’s producer, Elledgy Media, the film’s trailer will be screened on August 29 during a “gala dinner” attended by cast and crew involved in the film. The producer says the event will also include live performances by an opera singer and a Georgian dance ensemble. We’ve reached out for Spacey’s rep for comment.

The Venice Film Festival, which runs August 27 – September 6, confirmed to us that there is no Kevin Spacey event within their official program. This was also the case at Cannes, where the Hollywood actor was feted at an event separate to the official lineup. It was his first Croisette appearance since 2016.

Well, I would count on a trailer premier in classy (or cheasy) restaurant, and most likely still no news on a release date or a distributor

In some way, the project and the whole thing around it reminds me of BATTLEFIELD EARTH...

By the way the producer Elvira Paterson-Gavrilova is constantly followed by two cameramen for her social media as if she was walking the red carpet every day. She must be loaded for sure but she's not Angelina Jolie or a movie star despite how she makes it look...

Well, even if we keep in that it might be a"pre"trailer filmed with a phone, it looks cheap. Some frame are nice, but the overall "throwing energyballs with my hands" is cheap as possible, this Lado guy seems bland as possible, and the voice over is one of the worst choice possible for this. At least, Dolph looks to have some sizeable dialogues and Kevin Spacey makes him look cool.
But let's wait til we're not able to see the movie because half of the financers are in prison to judge

You made me laugh my butt off

Even though they try to flex some muscle, it sounds like a mess

The trailer teased a December release for the finished project (which may end up being a series rather than a film) though there is no distributor yet on board.

This is such an epic shit-show! Absolutely fascinating.
The fact that "Lado" is a failed filmmaker turned crypto-scammer is great stuff.
I wish Dolph was in a movie based on these actual events and not the scammers weird ponzi vanity film.

Check this one out, you have to hear it to believe it...

36 minutes that's supposed to be just about the show... Tell me if you understand something, other than a lot of superficial BS masked as something supposed to be "profound"...

And so if I understand he wasn't even able to be on the main shoot since he's stranded in Dubai...
