<i>Advent Children</i> to screen in Venice

Square Enix will screen a special preview for the upcoming CG movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children at the Venice International Film Festival in September. The preview will be shown as part of "Venezia Digitale," the new digital category at the 61st annual film festival being held in Venice, Italy. Advent Children, which is still in development, is the straight-to-DVD movie sequel to Final Fantasy VII, which was released for the PlayStation in 1997. The DVD is scheduled for release late this year in Japan. Square Enix is also planning to release a version for the PSP on the upcoming device's proprietary UMD media.
