“ Hollywood might seem like a ghost town Sept. 9-19, as hundreds of celebrities head east for the Toronto International Film Festival.
TIFF released its much-anticipated list Tuesday of the nearly 500 top actors, directors and other celebrity guests expected at its annual 11-day celebration of world cinema.
The fest confirmed The Star’s earlier report that actor/director Clint Eastwood will be coming to support his spooky new thriller Hereafter, making his first visit to TIFF in 20 years.
Also confirmed is rocker Bruce Springsteen, who will chat onstage with actor Edward Norton about Thom Zimny’s The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, which documents the difficult gestation of Springsteen’s fourth album with his E Street Band.
Other bold faces headed for Hogtown include funnyman Bill Murray and billionaire Bill Gates and enough Oscar winners to put on a convincing facsimile of an Academy Awards telecast.
The latter include Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Hilary Swank, Helen Mirren, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Connelly and Javier Bardem, amongst many others.
In announcing its final major program additions, TIFF also announced the complete slate for its Contemporary World Cinema, Discovery, Masters, Mavericks, and Visions and Vanguard programs“
