Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis, Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door, and Luca Guadagnino's Queer have been added to the lineup of the Toronto International Film Festival. These films are part of a group of 19 new titles, bringing the total number of movies at this year's festival to 276.
Megalopolis, featuring Adam Driver and Nathalie Emmanuel, was one of the most discussed and polarizing films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The Room Next Door marks Almodóvar's first English-language feature, starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, while Queer is Guadagnino’s adaptation of William S. Burroughs' 1985 novel, also premiering at Venice.
Other notable additions include the world premiere of Nick Hamm’s William Tell, a drama starring Claes Bang as the Swiss folk hero, with Golshifteh Farahani, Jonathan Pryce, and Ben Kingsley; Shell by Max Minghella, featuring Elisabeth Moss as an actress growing suspicious of a wellness company run by Kate Hudson; The Salt Path, directed by Marianne Elliott, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs as a couple on a 600-mile journey after being evicted; and the documentary Paul Anka: His Way, directed by John Maggio.
The festival will also feature special screenings of the 1994 film Double Happiness and the Oscar-nominated 2014 drama Whiplash, with directors Mina Shum and Damien Chazelle in attendance.
