ELIZABETH OLSEN & SIGOURNEY WEAVER IN TORONTO FOR "RED LIGHTS"

Elizabeth Olsen & Mr. Will-W.

Don't even doubt that 22 year-old Elizabeth Olsen already is one of the hottest new names in Hollywood. The younger Sister of Multimedia Queens Mary-Kate & Ashley is just now working on her third Feature Film Red Lights, a Thriller directed by Rodrigo Cortés (Buried). Only recently did she win accolades for her work in Horror The Silent House at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City.  She also goes by Lizzie.

Olsen, who graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts (yes, the School of Lady Gaga) not long ago, stars in Red Lights as the love interest of Cillian Murphy. The Film is about a Psychologist named Margaret (Sigourney Weaver) who with her Assistant Tom (Murphy) study Paranormal Activity.  They then travel to Spain, visiting a world-renowned Psychic (Robert DeNiro).

Although a majority of filming for the Movie has taken place in Barcelona, two weeks' worth of Production was completed Toronto. Olsen wrapped early today and was actually a bit surprised to see that she had Fans asking for Autographs and wanting to take a Photo with her.  "Ugh, I look like a mess!", she chuckled.  Still though, she was incredibly friendly about posing for Photos as opposed to her Co-Star Murphy who was reported to be a little more shy about being photographed.  Filming wrapped officially after midnight with Olsen being the first to finish today; Murphy was the last to leave the Set at Pinewood Studios this evening.

DeNIRO, WEAVER AND OLSEN-HEADLINING "RED LIGHTS" TO FILM IN TORONTO?

Director Rodrigo Cortés heightened his profile significantly at TIFF 2010 with Maple Pictures' Buried and its One Man-Cast of Ryan Reynolds.  It is said that Cortés has completed Pre-Production on his next project titled Red Lights and is now ready to begin filming. 

Red Lights is a Thriller about a Psychiatrist and her Assistant who study Paranormal Activity.  From this, they are led to a Psychic. 

Now here's the Kicker. Attached to the project are Blockbuster names like Sigourney Weaver, Robert DeNiro, Toby Jones, Cillian Murphy and Elizabeth Olsen, younger Sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley.  22 year-old Olsen created quite a bit of buzz at the Sundance Film Festival a couple weeks ago with her performance in Silent House, another Thriller.

Although we are waiting on confirmation whether or not Red Lights will actually film in Toronto, a telling sign is that Pre-production for the Film has taken place in both Barcelona and Toronto.  Tentatively, it is set for a 2012 release.  IMDB indicates that filming indeed will take place in Canada.  Stay tuned....

PICTURES FROM RYAN REYNOLDS' TIFF PREMIERE OF BURIED

Ryan Reynolds at TIFF Premiere of Buried

Ryan Reynolds surprised himself completely with what a large turnout he brought to his new small indie flick Buried directed by Rodrigo Cortês, which sees him waking up buried six feet under. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year to some strong reviews. It will be released on October 8, 2010 in Canada via Maple Pictures and was also acquired in the U.S. by Lionsgate.

Reynolds looked perfect dressed in a suit and black tie, signing autographs from start-to-finish for fans at Ryerson Theatre, before heading off for some fun at the InStyle Magazine and Hollywood Foreign Press Association TIFF Party at Windsor Arms Hotel.  I just may have a beautiful signed 6x8 of Reynolds to give away soon to a lucky Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven reader.  Stay tuned!

RYAN REYNOLDS ARRIVES AT TIFF PRESS CONFERENCE FOR BURIED

Director Rodrigo Cortes could be onto something interesting as his new film Buried premieres tomorrow night at Ryerson Theatre.  The film is about a man who wakes up six feet underground, realizing he's been..... ta-dah!  Buried.  Cortes and Canadian hunk Ryan Reynolds (the film's only star) did a bit of promotion today at their Press Conference and there was quite a bit of havoc with hoards of Fans and Autograph Hounds trying to get to him.  With that being said, he only granted a few lucky people with his signature before scooting off quickly.
