Labor Day weekend has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing – it’s TIFF time, baby! Once again, I’ll be attending the Toronto International Film Festival on behalf of JoBlo.com. I’m looking forward to getting an early look at some of the prestigious awards fare we’ll all be hearing plenty about in the coming months. Crazy enough, this will be my sixteenth year in a row covering the festival!
Here’s what I’m most excited to check out at this year’s edition:

Edward Berger’s All Quiet on the Western Front was one of the biggest surprises of the 2022 edition of TIFF, as that new adaptation of the classic novel/ film proved to be one of the most dazzling war films in recent memory.

It's honestly almost impossible to imagine anyone besides Mads Mikkelsen portraying Dr. Hannibal Lecter on the cult NBC series "Hannibal," as the Danish actor fully embodies the show's version of the character. He is Hannibal Lecter, at least onscreen: a Machiavellian manipulator with an obscene wealth of knowledge, an impeccable sense of style, and a tendency toward eating people. His chemistry with his co-stars is undeniable, especially with Hugh Dancy, who plays empath and criminal profiler Will Graham. But back when NBC and series creator Bryan Fuller were first developing the show, they floated some very different actors before finally deciding on the magnificent Mikkelsen.
Fuller has revealed in interviews that he had to fight a bit to get Mikkelsen cast, because the network wanted someone "more mainstream" than the man mostly known to American audiences as the bloody-teared villain Le Chiffre from "Casino Royale." Thankfully he got his way...

The highly anticipated dark comedy-drama Kaos is finally on the streaming platform Netflix, and fans cannot keep calm. This project is born from the writing genius of Charlie Covell, who also penned The End of the F**ing World.
While the show indeed looks promising, the addition of actor Hugh Grant as Zeus in the show was something that even left Covell in disbelief all the way back in 2022.

However, his happiness was short-lived, given that Grant had to pull out of the project due to scheduling issues. So, he was replaced by actor Jeff Goldblum, who, with his acting prowess, brought the King of the Gods to life.

When talking of Ryan Gosling’s dating history, aside from Eva Mendes, most fans recall Kat Dennings, Olivia Wilde, or Rachel McAdams. But back in 2001, another iconic actress’s name was linked with the La La Land actor. It was rumored that Sandra Bullock was dating Gosling, their 16-year age gap shocked the world but the pair were besotted.
Around the same time, the actress was also filming a rom-com with Hugh Grant. Spending time on set gave birth to speculations that she was seeing the Emmy-nominated actor. Though she did not confirm her relationship with Gosling, she denied all allegations of dating her co-star. Some rumors were so exaggerated that they claimed The Proposal lead was pregnant, all of which she denied.

Horror’s fingerprints are everywhere, not just in the grindhouse and VOD, but in mainstream multiplex fare – now Demi Moore and Lady Gaga are joining the gore-fest
Brat summer is yesterday’s news. Brace yourself for horror autumn, which offers something for everyone. Like it elevated? Try Red Rooms, in which a Canadian model becomes obsessed with a serial killer on trial for torturing women to death on the dark web. Partial to French feminist auteur extremism? Look no further than Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance, with Demi Moore as an ageing actor who subjects herself to the sort of body horror more usually associated with early David Cronenberg than with the star of Ghost. Enjoyed Hugh Grant’s villain in Paddington 2? Watch him repurpose his malicious charm to more sinister effect in Heretic, written and directed by A Quiet Place scribes Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.
Horror is the little genre that could.

A couple of brief teasers aside, Netflix hasn't really been promoting Kaos, but the streamer has finally released a proper trailer for the contemporary Greek mythology drama, which stars Jeff Goldblum as the all-powerful King of the Gods, Zeus.
From the writer of The End of the F*cking World and the producers of Chernobyl, the 8-episode series revolves around three humans and a demigod as they discover their connection to each other and to a long-standing ancient prophecy while being forced to contend with the corrupt and arrogant gods of Greek mythology.
The footage introduces Goldblum's stylish take on Zeus, who lives in the lap of luxury while demanding that mortals worship him. It seems his power is diminished when humans stop fearing the gods, and Zeus sets out to do something about it.

The series of murder mysteries that began with the 2019 film Knives Out and continued with the 2022 film Glass Onion is set to keep on going with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which has writer/director Rian Johnson back at the helm. Johnson and his collaborators are being very secretive about this project right now, but there’s a lot of hype for it – so we figured this would be a good time to start assembling a list of Everything We Know About Wake Up Dead Man. Here we go:
Title
Johnson got the title Knives Out from a Radiohead song. When it came time to make the sequel Glass Onion, he got the title from a song by The Beatles. So it’s only fitting that the third film in the franchise have a song-inspired title as well. But while Radiohead and The Beatles were from England,...

Actor Kate Winslet was exposed to many uncomfortable conditions while filming James Cameron’s physically taxing Titanic. But Winslet’s experiences on the film’s set came in handy while shooting another movie years later.

Winslet collaborated alongside Alan Rickman for the second time in her career in the 2014 period piece A Little Chaos. The project saw Winslet playing a female gardener tending to the gardens of royalty in the 1600s. While filming, there was a scene in the feature where her character had to fix a flooding stream. This required Winslet, who was pregnant at the time, to immerse herself in water. But she asserted that the scene wasn’t as hard to shoot as some might’ve thought. Especially since Winslet took control of the scene entirely.
“I was absolutely fine in the water.

It’s an episode Prince Andrew would no doubt wish to be forgotten, but his car-crash “Newsnight” interview is set to enthral viewers yet again in Prime Video’s upcoming dramatization.
“A Very Royal Scandal,” which stars Michael Sheen as the disgraced prince and Ruth Wilson as arch interviewer Emily Maitlis, has been set for release on the streaming platform on Sept. 19, Variety can confirm.

The streamer has also debuted a series of first-look images from the series, showing “Good Omens” star Sheen’s transformation into the British royal, who was widely criticized for his defense of his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his failure to mention Epstein’s victims during the 2019 interview.
Wilson suits up as BBC anchor Maitlis, whose cool performance and professionalism during the interview was highly praised.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for “Kaos,” which will release on Netflix Aug. 29.
The upcoming Netflix drama “Kaos” is an old tale with a distinctly modern spin. Jeff Goldblum stars as Zeus, king of the gods, but in this telling he’s an aging, sexually incontinent, increasingly paranoid figure — Logan Roy springs to mind — trying to keep his grip on his family and his empire.
“Why do we come back to myths?” says creator Charlie Covell, musing on the source material of the series, which drops on Aug. 29. “They’re timeless; the issues are eternal.” Indeed, the story has been a long time in the making for Covell, who sees the themes of “power, abuse of power, love, death, family and dysfunctional family” as continually relevant — and eternally fascinating — to audiences.
“Kaos,” like “Succession,” centers on powerful siblings at each other’s throats, but these are no mere mortals...

Leading US producer Stacy Sher provided an optimistic take on the outlook for the film industry at the Locarno Film Festival today (August 9), insisting that audiences still want to connect with original stories.
Sher, whose producer credits include Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight as well as Steven Soderbergh’s Out of Sight and Erin Brockovich, took part in an in conversation event the day after being presented with Locarno’s Raimondo Rezzonico Award.

Veteran producer Stacey Sher still has love for critically-maligned “Poolman” directed by Chris Pine.
“It’s a gorgeous film. Chris made the movie he set out to make. He believed in it and I believed in Chris. I still do. He’s a really gifted filmmaker.”
Following its Toronto premiere, Pine’s film became one of the worst-reviewed titles last year, with Variety’s Owen Gleiberman calling it “not only the worst film I saw during the fall festival season but would likely be one of the worst films in any year it came out.”
But Sher believes you have to always support your director.
“Yes – if you believe in that person. Quentin Tarantino may have said that to me a long time ago: ‘The reviews of your movies aren’t written the weekend they come out. They are written 10, 20, 30 years after they come out. It’s all about how they endure.

After defining goofy millennial aimlessness with her beloved sitcom Broad City, the writer-actor is facing up to motherhood with new film Babes. But don’t worry: she hasn’t grown up too much
Ilana Glazer is trying to think of films about pregnancy and early parenthood that aren’t told from a man’s perspective. “There’s Knocked Up, but that’s about Seth Rogen. And there’s Nine Months, but that’s about Hugh Grant. Three Men and a Baby cracks me up because it’s like, three?!” says the 37-year-old, with comically perfect levels of incredulity (cracking me up in the process).
Glazer – best known as co-creator of the seminal millennial sitcom Broad City – is making a serious point: there are outrageously few movies about birth and babies that centre on the female experience. The comedian’s attempt to rectify this, however, has taken the form of a distinctly unserious film: in fact,...

Updated with new release date: Sony said Tuesday that it will now open Miramax’s Here, the reteam of Forrest Gump filmmaker Robert Zemeckis and its stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, on November 1. It’s the only studio theatrical release going wide on that day after Samuel Goldwyn’s Liam Neeson title Absolution, Viva’s animated Hitpig and the George Huang-directed Luke Evans movie Weekend in Taipei. There’s been no buzz that Here will land a place at the fall’s film festival troika of Toronto, Venice and Telluride.
Previously, June 21: Sony said Friday that its new film Here, reuniting the director, writer, and stars of the classic Forrest Gump, will open wide via TriStar Pictures on November 15.
Previously, the film had been scheduled for an exclusive run in Los Angeles in New York on that date, with a limited and wide release to follow on November 22 and November 27, respectively.

He's taken on an evil taxidermist Nicole Kidman. He's bested Hugh Grant's thespian ne'er-do-well Phoenix Buchanan. Now, in Dougal Wilson's eagerly anticipated Paddington threequel Paddington In Peru, our beloved Ben Whishaw voiced bear is set to face his biggest foe yet. No, not Olivia Colman's seriously sus singing nun, or Antonio Banderas' riverboat captain for that matter (though we've got our eye on them both), but rather... a photo booth? Yup, you heard us right, folks. In the latest teaser for the sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time, we see Paddington helplessly tangle with a passport picture kiosk to admittedly quite hilarious effect. Check it out for yourself:

Google has yanked an ad from NBC’s Olympics broadcasts meant to highlight the power of its Gemini AI tool — but which critics blasted as bizarrely tone-deaf.
In the 60-second ad, “Dear Sydney,” a father wants to help his daughter write a letter to her idol, Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. In a voiceover, the dad says his daughter “might even be the world’s No. 1 Sydney fan.” Then, in a jarring turn of events, he asks Google’s Gemini AI to “help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is and be sure to mention that my daughter plans on breaking her world record one day.”

As the summer movie season comes to a close, August brings a shockingly stacked slate of offerings, topped by a film that is sure to age like a fine classic in years to come. Elsewhere we have accomplished debuts, action spectacles, and a thriller from the man who has recently returned to perfecting the formula.

A24 is teaming up with Chernin Entertainment and award-winning Russian director Egor Abramenko (Sputnik) to produce its next terrifying horror film, Altar. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but 1428 Elm has learned that the script, written by Will Soodik (Westworld), is based on a short story by Philip Fracassi.
Set during a momentous summer in a young boy's life, Altar sounds like a twisted coming-of-age story where he is "forced to grow up faster than he ever imagined." Actress Lily Collias (Good One) will star alongside newcomer Hudson Behling. They will be joined by stars like January Jones (Mad Men), David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer), and Kyle MacLachlan (Fallout).
Fracassi is a Bram Stoker-nominated author who has written many acclaimed stories and novels, including the award-winning collection Behold the Void and novels like Gothic, Boys in the Valley, and the upcoming The Third Rule of Time Travel.

Prince Harry has identified his ongoing legal fights with British tabloids as a major contributor to the deterioration of his relationship with the royal family.
In a recent interview for ITV’s documentary Tabloids on Trial, the Duke of Sussex expressed frustration with his family’s reluctance to join him in confronting the press. The 39-year-old royal suggested this inaction has further strained family ties.
“It’s a complex issue, but I believe this is a significant part of it,” Harry told interviewer Rebecca Barry. He added that discussing family matters often leads to harsh criticism from the media, making it difficult to address the topic openly.

Prince Harry has given his first interview since his privacy lawsuit win against a major U.K. tabloid, speaking at length about the ongoing legal battle and why the late Queen Elizabeth II is “very much up there saying, ‘See this through to the end.'”
In ITV’s deep-dive documentary Tabloids on Trial, which aired in the U.K. on Thursday night, the Duke of Sussex was among myriad names, including Hugh Grant, former England soccer star Paul Gascoigne and ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who opened up about their fight for justice in the extensive phone-hacking scandal and subsequent legal battles.
The prince alleges that he was targeted by journalists and private investigators working for Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (Ngn) titles The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, which closed in 2011. Grant was also among those involved in the Ngn lawsuits (the Briton settled the...

The Grammys’ visual media field honors the best in music made for film, television and other formats. This year’s contenders range from blockbuster soundtracks to more under-the-radar but important material from critically beloved artists.
For Best Song for Visual Media, the race is full of plausible winners. Olivia Rodrigo could take home another Grammy this year here for “Can’t Catch Me Now,” the lead single from the “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” soundtrack. There’s precedent for Rodrigo, as Taylor Swift previously won here for a song from the same franchise, “Safe and Sound” from the original “Hunger Games”; both, however, were snubbed by the Oscars.
Speaking of Oscars, one Academy Award-nominated song that could be a contender here is “It Never Went Away” performed and co-written by Grammy favorite Jon Batiste for his documentary “American Symphony.” Batiste doesn’t always win at these awards,...

Jay Leno is known for two things: hosting The Tonight Show and preventing other people from hosting The Tonight Show. Okay, three things if you count repeatedly crashing vintage motor vehicles. The point is, Leno isn’t generally known for being a great actor, even despite the fact that, in his pre-talk show days, he literally starred in a Rush Hour-esque action-comedy with Pat Morita. It wasn’t good.
Leno later admitted that his only starring vehicle, Collision Course, was “terrible” and the clunky process put him off of film acting entirely.
But despite that disastrous experience, Leno was apparently still game to co-star in an upcoming movie. And it’s a drama. About The Beatles. Seriously.

After a series of brief teaser promos, Netflix has released a full trailer for its upcoming Greek mythology show, Kaos, which stars Jeff Goldblum as the all-powerful King of the Gods, Zeus.
From the writer of The End of the F*cking World and the producers of Chernobyl, the 8-episode series is a mythological dark-comedy which revolves around six humans as they discover their connection to each other and to a long-standing ancient prophecy while being forced to contend with the corrupt and arrogant gods of Greek mythology.
The footage introduces Goldblum's stylish take on Zeus, who lives in the lap of luxury while demanding that mortals worship him. It seems his power is diminished when humans stop believing in and fearing the gods, and Zeus sets out to do something about it.
Zeus' exact plan is not explained here, but it sounds like he intends to unleash the might...

Prince Harry Reveals Royal Rift Caused in Part by Family’s Refusal to Take British Tabloids to Court

Prince Harry has revealed that the royal family’s unwillingness to join him in taking on Britain’s notorious tabloid media in a courtroom battle that he’s been fighting — and winning — for the past few years is a “central piece” to the rift that’s formed between them as he opted for the “greater good.”
The Duke of Sussex did not elaborate on the matter when questioned about the cause of his estrangement from his older brother, Prince William, and father, King Charles. While Harry moved his family to Southern California with his wife, Meghan Markle, in June 2020, he has returned to London intermittently as a legal battle against several tabloid papers has unfolded in the high courts there.
When asked by ITV’s Rebecca Barry if the extent of his determination to fight the tabloids “destroyed the relationship with your family,” he replied, “I think that’s certainly a central piece to it.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” Season 1 finale titled “The Verdict.”
Since David E. Kelley’s “Presumed Innocent” debuted on Apple TV+ last month, the series has taken viewers on a ride filled with shocking clues and troubling revelations, all while diving into the minds of narcissistic and obsessive men. Over eight episodes, “Presumed Innocent” followed former chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal), who was on trial for the murder of his lover and colleague Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve).
In the “Presumed Innocent” finale — an episode that was not provided as a screener ahead of time to journalists —viewers learned that Carolyn’s killer is Rusty’s teenage daughter, Jaden (Chase Infiniti). After Rusty was found not guilty, this is how audiences found out who did it.
From the beginning, there were four major suspects. Rusty, of course, was obsessed with Carolyn. Throughout the series,...

Pünktlich kurz vor Bekanntgabe des Venedig-Programms gibt das 49. Toronto International Film Festival schon einmal einen dicken Schwung neuer großer Titel aus den Vorzeigereihen „Gala Presentations“ und „Special Presentations“ bekannt. Darunter befindet sich auch der neue Film von Edward Berger, „Conclave“, und die Weltpremieren neuer Arbeiten von Angelina Jolie und Mike Leigh.

Man kann immer viel lernen aus diesem ersten dicken Schwung Ankündigungen, die das Toronto International Film Festival traditionell immer kurz vor der Bekanntgabe des Programms der Mostra in Venedig veröffentlicht. Hauptsächlich um dem Erzkonkurrenten aus good old Europe ein bisschen in die Suppe zu spucken. Wenn einer der 63 Titel in diesem dicken Konvolut als „nordamerikanische“, „kanadische“ oder „internationale“ Premiere betitelt wird und der Titel vorher noch nicht in Cannes oder Berlin gelaufen ist, kann man ablesen, ob er vor Toronto bereits in Venedig und/oder Telluride gezeigt wird.

The time has come for the annual presentation of the Toronto International Film Festival. The festivities will include many premieres of titles, whether it be their big world premiere, their North American premiere, or even just their Canadian premiere. Deadline has unveiled a number of upcoming films that attendees are expected to see this year.
Among those premiering are some star-studded affairs, such as the war drama Without Blood, which stars Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir and is directed by Angelina Jolie. The film is based on the Alessandro Baricco novel. Hard Truths from Mike Leigh stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste. That film is being described as an “Ongoing exploration of the contemporary world with a tragicomic study of human strengths and weaknesses.”
The Last Showgirl will premiere. The movie follows a seasoned stage dancer who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run and stars Dave Bautista,...

The 49th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival announced its full lineup of Galas and Special Presentations today in what is a complete embarrassment of riches as the event blasts off after last year’s actors strike with 29 titles having rights for sale.

There’s also Mike Leigh’s first movie in six years, Hard Truths, with Marianne Jean-Baptiste, which is billed as an “ongoing exploration of the contemporary world with a tragicomic study of human strengths and weaknesses.”
Gia Coppola has the drama The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson, Dave Bautista, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kiernan Shipka and Billie Lourd, which follows a seasoned stage dancer who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is currently filming, and a fresh piece of casting news has come to light. Possible spoiler.
Spoilers for the Bridget Jones films lie ahead.
Helen Fielding’s big knicker wearing, perennial singleton Bridget Jones, as played by Renee Zellweger, has headlined three feature films so far – 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary, 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason and 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby.
The first film followed Bridget as she struck up a relationship with the smarmy, charming Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, not realising that her perfect match is Mark Darcy. Darcy of course was played, in an inspired piece of casting, by Colin Firth – the pathetic fist fights between the two men stand as highlights of both films.
The second sees Bridget once again taken in by Cleaver’ charms in Thailand, before she ends up in prison. The third film sees Bridget end up pregnant,...
