Neon’s bringing Chuck to theaters.
Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck was a standout at this year’s TIFF, and Neon has just acquired the rights to debut the film in theaters sometime next year.

Rumours hits theaters next month.
Bleecker Street’s black comedy Rumours from co-writers / co-directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson was a surprise delight at this year’s TIFF, and it’s finally making its way to theaters on October 18th.
R.T. Thorne’s postapocalyptic thriller frames farming and community as the keys to humanity’s survival after society collapses.

Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic Megalopolis is a series of loosely connected ideas, tied together with an undercooked world and embarrassing dialogue.

Marielle Heller’s defanged adaptation pulls back from the book’s ferocious strangeness to lean into a more quirky, feel-good vibe.

We’re watching all of the movies.
OK, maybe not all of them, but Charles and I are covering TIFF again this year and filling this stream with our many, many thoughts. Highlights so far include The Substance and The Life of Chuck. But you can check out plenty more right here.
Director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance goes full David Cronenberg body horror with a gruesome parable about the violence of youth-obsessed beauty standards.

A TIFF favorite gets a trailer.
Monster was one of my favorite movies from the Toronto film festival this year, and now you can get a glimpse of it. From prolific director Hirokazu Kore-eda, Monster is about school bullying, but it also slowly reveals itself to be something much more complicated, with a story told from multiple perspectives that’s something of a puzzle. The movie opens in New York on November 22nd and LA on December 1st, before “expanding to additional markets in December.”

From the uncomfortably comedic horror of Dream Scenario to the outlandish heist / revenge movie Smugglers, there was a lot to love in Toronto this year.

The festival is led by Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron, but there will be plenty more to see when things kick off in Toronto on September 7th.
