Locarno lineup announced

Variety's Derek Elley has Locarno's lineup, opening with the preem of Julian Jarrold's "Brideshead Revisited" (pictured) and closing with Solveig Anspach's comedy "Back Soon."
In between, eight more world preems unspool in the 7,000-seat Piazza. They include Austrian slasher pic "Dead in 3 Days 2," by Andreas Prochaska; French comedy "La Fille de Monaco," by Anne Fontaine; Julian Temple's film opera "The Eternity Man," shot in Sydney; 1938 Nazi mountaineering drama "North Face," with Benno Fuermann; and "Lesson 21," the English-language helming debut of Italian scribe Alessandro Baricco, starring Noah Taylor and John Hurt.

Flying the Stars and Stripes in the 7,000-seat Piazza will be the world preem of the Weinstein Co.'s Vikings-meet-an-alien actioner "Outlander"; Sundance comedy "Choke," screening in tribute to thesp Anjelica Huston, this year's Excellence Award recipient; and WB's "Chaos Theory," with Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer.
