Toronto Adds Trio of Titles
After announcing Deepa Mehta's "Water" as its opening night movie, and recently unveiling 16 North American premieres that are set for this year's festival, organizers of the annual Toronto International Film Festival have named a trio of new titles to the lineup. Set to screen in Toronto this year will be Curtis Hanson's "In Her Shoes" starring Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette in a film described by fest planners as the "alternately hilarious and heart-rending story of the trials and tribulations of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 ½ feet." Also on tap is John Madden's "Proof", the big screen adaptation of the popular play about "an enigmatic young woman haunted by her father's past and the shadow of her own future." It stars Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hope Davis, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Finally, also set is Joe Wright's film version of Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" starring Keira Knightley.
