2010 Toronto International Film Festival announcements

The 35th Toronto International Film Festival runs from Thursday, September 9th to Sunday the 19th this year — that's 11 days, instead of the usual 10... :-)

So what's screening at this year's fest?

Well, it's been an unusually quiet summer —by this time last year, we had over 117 films in our database — this year, only one film has been officially confirmed: the opening film...

• Score: A Hockey Musical, directed by Michael McGowan (Canada)

But, according to an early report by Martin Knelman of The Toronto Star,

• Barney's Version (novel by Mordecai Richler), directed by Richard J. Lewis (Canada)

will screen on Sunday, September 12th... — both films should be gala presentations at Roy Thompson Hall. Both films should be celebrity affairs, too — check out the cast & cameos of Score: A Hockey Musical (Olivia Newton-John, Marc Jordan, Nelly Furtado), or the Hollywood heavy-weights in Barney's Version (Dustin Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Minnie Driver).
