 The Toronto International Film Festival has always welcomed big-name stars for the 10-day fest, but this year there's a touch of royalty in the mix: the queen of daytime TV, the king of after dark and a former member of Britain's royal family.
Oprah Winfrey, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York are among the hundreds of fest guests announced yesterday by TIFF as it released its final line-up.
In all, 335 films from 64 countries will screen Sept. 10-19, including 271 feature-length films, 72 per cent of which are world, international or North American premieres.
Among the 71 directors with debuts at TIFF is Drew Barrymore for her roller derby dramedy, Whip It. She and star Ellen Page, plus cast Juliette Lewis, Eve and Marcia Gay Harden will be here for the fest.
TIFF also announced additions to various programs, from kid-friendly Sprockets to the edgy Vanguard.
Among them:
Mr. Nobody, Jaco Van Dormael, France/Germany/Canada/Belgium; North American premiere. Jared Leto stars as Nemo, the world's oldest man. In 2092, humans have achieved immortality, thanks to advances in genetics and at the age of 120 years, Nemo is the last mortal left on Earth. His death is drawing near, and media from all over the world are eager to cover the event. Also starring Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh-Dan Pham and Rhys Ifans.
Antichrist, Lars von Trier, Denmark/Sweden/France/Italy; North American premiere. Lars von Trier's controversial movie was the talk of Cannes this year with its groundbreaking, deeply disturbing and graphic nightmare vision about men and women and their relationship. Now Toronto film fans can judge for themselves. Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe star.
She, A Chinese, Xiaolu Guo, United Kingdom/France/Germany; North American premiere. A rock-`n'-roll odyssey and hybrid of documentary, creative writing, visual poetry and cinema, She, A Chinese follows a young woman on a soul-searching journey from her native village in China to London.
The White Ribbon, Michael Haneke, Germany/Austria/France/Italy; North American premiere. Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or for best film at this year's Cannes Film Festival for his film set in Protestant Northern Germany on the eve of World War I, where strange incidents begin to occur in a village community and increasingly take the form of a ritual of punishment.
