In a change that just might be the culprit for all the Wayfarers, Toronto's film industry is shining brighter than it has in a while. As recently reported by the Star, Filmport, the almost one-year-old megastudio—still only in its first phase of development—is all but completely booked for production on various series, pilots, and feature films, most of them funded by major American studios. Despite in-fighting between the city and its various other studio owners over municipal funding for Filmport, this work is undoubtedly welcomed by the twenty-five thousand professional crew members and ten thousand unionized actors in Toronto.

It’s not every day that you get to fondle Jeremy Irons’s signed shoe. Or sniff one of the sneakers that Michael Cera wore when he recorded some of the songs for Juno. But Thursday was Torontoist’s lucky day, and we got to gawk at the footwear of the rich and Torontofamous.

              

Linger around any movie theatre exit during the Toronto International Film Festival and the only question you'll hear more than "What did you see?" is "Who?" And yes, there were star sightings aplenty these past ten days. You could have brought binoculars, packed apples and trail mix, and camped outside the Royal Elgin or the Four Seasons, waiting hours on end for a brief glimpse of the back of Michael Cera's head (your fourteen-year-old sister is a huge fan, of course). But for those of you with better things to do on a Tuesday night (uh, new season of 90210? Anyone? Anyone?), we've compiled and captioned a smattering of celebrity snapshots from the Torontoist Flickr Pool. Enjoy!

Last month, we reported that Michael Cera was signed to play the titular character in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but wondered who would be cast as Ramona Flowers, the girl of his dreams.

It was announced earlier today that Michael Cera is in final negotiations to play Scott Pilgrim in the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, the hit comic by ex-Torontonian Bryan Lee O'Malley. Not that anyone should be particularly surprised by the casting choice: Cera is pretty much Hollywood's go-to guy for likable underdog characters nowadays.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the Oscars this morning. Canada done good.

Today’s Reviews:

They’re trying to hypnotise us, people. They’re trying to brainwash us and subdue us by bombarding the television with adverts and by using the media to confuse us, and they’ll never stop… Until Superbad is the number one movie this weekend.
