VENICE, Italy, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak won't be playing anywhere during this year's Venice Film Festival, although many expected it to.
The Mexican director's friend and fellow filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron sits as jury president of the festival this year and on opening day Wednesday encouraged everyone to "go see the film" when it's released in October. "Obviously, I miss Guillermo not being here," he said during a press conference.
