Aaron Sorkin’s gambling drama “Molly’s Game,” Brie Larson’s directorial debut “Unicorn Store,” Louis C.K.’s “I Love You, Daddy,” Lynn Shelton’s “Outside In” and John Curran’s Edward Kennedy dramatization “Chappaquiddick” are among the more than 100 new films that have been added to the Toronto International Film Festival lineup, TIFF organizers announced on Tuesday.
Stars of the new films include Jessica Chastain, Nicole Kidman, Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke and Willem Dafoe.
Tuesday’s announcement covered the Masters, Contemporary World Cinema, Primetime and Wavelengths sections, as well as additions to the Galas and Special Screenings programs.
A large number of the added films previously screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Those include Sean Baker’s “The Florida Project,” Fatih Akin’s “In the Fade,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” Michel Hazanavicius’ “Reboutable” and Naomi Kawase’s “Radiance” from the Special Presentations lineup, and Agnes Varda’s “Faces Places,” Michael Haneke’s “Happy End” and Andrey Zvyagintsev’s “Loveless” in the Masters section.
The new galas include Bille August’s “55 Steps,” Paolo Virzi’s “The Leisure Seeker” with Mirren and Donald Sutherland and Jon Avnet’s “Three Christs,” with Richard Gere, Julianna Margulies and Peter Dinklage.
Among the additional special presentations are Andrew Haigh’s “Lean on Pete,” John Woo’s “Manhunt,” Michael Roskam’s “Racer and the Jailbird” and Peter Landesman’s “Mark Felt – The Man Who Brought Down the White House.”
The Contemporary World Cinema section is made up of 48 films, including Jonas Carpignano’s “A Ciambra,” Diego Lerman’s “A Sort of Family,” Teemu Nikki’s “Euthanizer” and the Australian drama “Breath,” the directorial debut of actor Simon Baker (“The Mentalist”).
The Primetime program consists of new television episodes from Germany and Brazil, as well as two episodes from Season 2 of “The Girlfriend Experience” and two from David Simon and George Pelecanos’ “The Deuce.”
Wavelengths, a section devoted to adventurous and experimental films, includes new work by Bruno Dumont (“Jeanette, the Childhood of Joan of Arc”), Wang Bing (“Mrs. Fang”) and Denis Côté (“A Skin So Soft”).
The 2017 Toronto International Film Festival will kick off on September 7 with “Borg/McEnroe” and end on September 17.
