TIFF attracts people who like movies, and also people who like people who are in movies. Last night was all about the latter, as two not-great films—Moneyball and Ides of March —had their premieres. The hype was about the stars rather than the flicks they star in, and quite the hype it was. Traffic on King was at a near standstill as fans choked the streets around Roy Thomson Hall to get shouty about George and Brad and Angelina.
Earlier in the day Bono, lead singer of U2, charity worker, and his Irish Highness attended a press conference following the Gala Presentation of From the Sky Down , David Guggenheim’s latest film on the making of the band’s 1991 album, Achtung Baby . Whether you love U2 or find it to be mundane stadium rock, no man is more recognizable for his eyewear than Bono (Torontoist unfortunately lost a bet with The Grid on what colour his eyewear would be). Joined by U2 guitarist The Edge, Guggenheim, and TIFF programmer Thom Powers, the four vaguely talked about the movie (this is a film fest after all) but mainly about, well, U2 and then attempted to take questions from Twitter.
