Toronto International Film Festival: See the impressive line-up

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has unveiled its highly anticipated line-up for the 48th edition, which is set to captivate audiences with a stellar array of films. However, there is a cloud of uncertainty as to whether the stars will grace the red carpets due to the ongoing writers and actors strikes. Among the films making their world premieres at this prestigious event are «Dumb Money,» a GameStop drama directed by Craig Gillespie, featuring the talented Paul Dano and Pete Davidson. Additionally, Ellen Kuras brings the war photographer Lee Miller to life in «Lee,» with the exceptional Kate Winslet in the lead role. Tony Goldwyn's «Ezra» showcases the brilliant Robert De Niro and Rose Byrne. This festival serves as a significant platform for Hollywood to showcase its fall films and hopeful award contenders. However, with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes causing uncertainty, Toronto organizers are closely monitoring the situation. The strikes have restricted actors and writers from promoting their films, which might result in a lack of A-listers and dampen the usual buzz surrounding the festival. TIFF has already announced that Taika Waititi's soccer comedy «Next Goal Wins» will kick off this year's festival, offering an exciting and diverse cinematic experience from September 7 to September 17.
