| Sarah Gadon & Robert Pattinson filming Cosmopolis in Toronto - May 2011 |
Also going in with a lot of buzz is Lawless starring Tom Hardy, Shia LeBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce and Mia Wasikowska. The Paperboy (Lee Daniels) starring Zac Efron, John Cusack and Matthew McConaughey, also comes highly-touted.
In addition to David Cronenberg being represented this year, his Son Brandon Cronenberg makes his directorial Feature Debut with Toronto-filmed Antiviral which stars Sarah Gadon (who also stars in Cosmopolis) and Malcolm McDowell, whom we interviewed recently.
Director Wes Anderson also is represented with Moonrise Kingdom starring Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton, which is selected as the Festival's Opening Night Film, screening out-of-competition.
