So, it does look like we have a stacked lineup of films coming up this fall. With the Venice Film Festival lineup announcing on Thursday, the Toronto International Film Festival decided to get a head start and announce their own lineup which, again this year, looks phenomenal. [full lineup] The biggies for many will be the world premieres of Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit,” Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” and Marielle Heller’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” Also going to both Venice and Toronto (based on premiere status) will be some of the hottest titles of the year: Steven Soderbergh’s “The Laundromat,” Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story, Pablo Larrain’s “Ema,” and Todd Phillips’ “Joker.” “Some of the year’s biggest films will land in Toronto this September,” said Bailey, Co-Head and Artistic Director of TIFF. “We’re thrilled to unveil Galas and Special Presentations that bring the brightest lights in film to our Festival audience. Our new programming team has been hard at work for months to deliver the compelling stories, acclaimed filmmakers, and top onscreen talent that mark our two highest-profile sections.” “I’m delighted to step into my first Festival as TIFF Co-Head to such a powerful slate of films,” said Vicente, Co-Head and Executive Director of TIFF. “Fast-paced, boundary-pushing, satirical — this lineup has films representing every corner of the cinematic landscape on top of a strong number of World Premieres. It’s a pleasure to be able to share these films with audiences for the first time.” Given that all of the announced titles have premiere designations, we can kind of figure out what will be at Telluride and Venice as well.
