Starting with the big names, TIFF announced more Gala and Special Presentations movies. You know, the ones you spend $35 for a ticket to see even though they open theatrically like two weeks later? This year’s closing night Gala will be Page Eight, a David Hare–directed British spy thriller starring Bill Nighy. Other galas of note include Joel Schumacher’s home invasion thriller, Trespass, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman, which will make its world premiere; the world premiere of Gary McKendry’s elite killer movie Killer Elite (starring Clive Owen, Jason Statham, and Robert DeNiro); the international premiere of Christophe Honoré’s Beloved. Special Presentations–wise, TIFF 2011 will see new films from international directors including Andrea Arnold (Wuthering Heights), Johnnie To (Life Without Principle), and Whit Stillman (Damsels in Distress).
