FELICITY JONES & ANTON YELCHIN AT TIFF PREMIERE OF "LIKE CRAZY"

Anton Yelchin at TIFF 2011 with Like Crazy

Despite arriving rather late for their Ryerson Theatre Premiere of Like Crazy, a Sundance Film Festival favourite, up-and-coming talents Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, both still try to fit in a bit of face time with Fans despite being rushed by their Handlers.  

Like Crazy tells the story of a British Girl who falls in love with an American Guy while studying in the U.S.  After having over-stayed her VISA, they Couple winds up paying the consequences of it.  The Film by Drake Doremus faithfully tells a story about falling in love and maintaining a long-distance relationship - the painful realities, the temptations, the obstacles.  At the same time it observes the tenderness of and fragility of Young Love with standout performances by both Yelchin and Jones who we learned had improvised through most of the Film, completing production in nine months only.

Paramount Pictures releases Like Crazy on October 28, 2011.

POSSIBLE 2011 TIFF TITLES? (UPDATED)

Still from Like Crazy

Although the Toronto International Film Festival is only a little over two months away, there already is wide speculation about which major Oscars Keyplayers will be getting a Toronto Premiere here come September.  Although these are based purely on rumour, the below v. possibly could be screening in the City - meaning you just might be seeing these Stars here!

Here are a few Candidates:

We Need to Talk About Kevin – starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly; about a Mother recounting the series of events leading up to her Son’s massacring of students and teachers at his High School.

Sleeping Beauty – Australian film starring Emily Browning about a Girl who enters a secret underground Prostitution Ring, taking a sleep-inducing Drug which then allows her Clientele to have their way with her without any recollection.

The Ides of March – starring George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti and Evan Rachel Wood. A Staff Member to a new Presidential Candidate is given a quick, dirty Crash Course on Politics during his Campaign Trail.

"LIKE CRAZY" WINS BEST DRAMA FILM AT SUNDANCE

Felicity Jones at Sundance Film Festival

Congratulations to Paramount Pictures on their latest acquisition at Park City's Sundance Film Festival.  Like Crazy was awarded the Grand Jury Prize of Best Drama this year.  As you might remember, the Film is about a British Girl (Felicity Jones) who falls in love with an American (Anton Yelchin), but must return back to the U.K. after her VISA expires. 

Andrew Barker at Variety has called Like Crazy an "exquisite, beautifully acted gem" and The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFore calls it a "deeply-felt love tale".  Crossing fingers they save this one until TIFF 2010. Would love this to premiere in Toronto in September!

Recent Oscar Best Picture nominees to win the Prize include Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire and Winter's Bone. Coincidentally Jennifer Lawrence, who was nominated for an Oscar this year for Winter's Bone, also stars in Like Crazy.

"LIKE CRAZY" AND "MY IDIOT BROTHER" ARE HITS AT SUNDANCE

Still from Like Crazy

Deadline is keeping a close tab on the Distribution deals being struck in Park City at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend and it looks like the one Film getting the most buzz is Like Crazy, a Romantic comedy about an British Girl visiting the U.S. and falling in love with a guy over there, she is told she has to go back to the U.K. after over-extending her visit.  

Paramount Pictures won in the bidding and it is said the deal was in-and-around the $4 million U.S. mark for worldwide rights. The Film stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence - the latter who created a stir last year in Winter's Bone.

My Idiot Brother, which we have been following here for a while now, is also receiving a fair amount of buzz after its Screening last night, expecting to close a deal with The Weinstein Co. or Relativity Media in the U.S.  Maple Pictures is already set to distribute in Canada.  It is almost guaranteed that the Film will be profitable with its stellar Cast of Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Rashida Jones and Zooey Deschanel and the buzz that it is quite heart-felt.
