Tarantino Handed Venice Jury Duty

Noted auteur and indefatigable foot fetishist Quentin Tarantino has been named the head of the Venice Film Festival's competition jury, Variety reports. Expected films in the mix include Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, Julian Schnabel's Miral, and Monte Hellman's out-of-retirement Road to Nowhere, starring Dominique Swain and Shannyn Sossamon (!!!). All those filmmakers are rushing to add barefoot close-ups as we speak. [Variety]
