Here's what to expect at this year's Toronto International Film Festival
Films starring Sydney Sweeney, Angelina Jolie and Aziz Ansari will premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, festival organizers announced Monday. TIFF laid out the selections to its galas and special presentations programs, which make up the bulk of the red carpet premieres to North America's largest film festival. Films making their world premieres include Ansari's Good Fortune, starring Keanu Reeves as an angel trying to teach a struggling man (Ansari) a lesson; David Michôd's Christy, with Sweeney playing the boxer Christy Martin; and Alice Winocour's Couture, starring Jolie as an American filmmaker attending Paris Fashion Week. Those films join previously announced TIFF world premieres including Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. All three of Johnson's Knives Out films have premiered in Toronto. Also debuting in Toronto will be Derek Cianfrance's Roofman, starring Channing Tatum as a struggling father turned thief; Nia DaCosta's Ibsen adaptation Hedda, starring Tessa Thompson; Nicholas Hytner's WWI drama The Choral, with Ralph Fiennes; Steven Soderbergh's third 2025 release, The Christophers; Hikari's Rental Family, starring Brendan Fraser as an American actor in Japan; and Paul Greengrass' The Lost Bus, with Matthew McConaughey as a bus driver navigating California's 2018 Camp Fire. The festival will kick off Sept. 4 with the debut of the documentary John Candy: I Like Me, from director Colin Hanks and producer Ryan Reynolds. The festival runs through Sept. 14. Toronto has long been one of the prized launching pads to the fall movie season, though many of the top films often first go to the Venice or Telluride film festivals. This year, that includes TIFF selections like Chloe Zhao's Hamnet, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine and Edward Berger's Ballad of a Smaller Player. The designation of those premieres suggests Frankenstein and The Smashing Machine will first play Venice, while Zhao's and Berger's films will likely play both Venice and Telluride. IN PHOTOS: On the red carpet for TIFF 2024 premieres: Other notable films premiering in Toronto include James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg trials drama Nuremberg, with Rami Malik and Russell Crowe; Rachel Lee Goldenberg's Swiped, starring Lily James as Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd; and Agnieszka Holland's Franz Kafka drama Franz. Several directorial debuts will be landing in Toronto including those by Brian Cox (Glenrothan) and Maude Apatow (Poetic License). Other selections include Bad Apples, with Saoirse Ronan as a teacher with a poorly behaved student; Easy's Waltz, a Las Vegas-set drama starring Vince Vaughn and Al Pacino; and Alex Winter's Adulthood. A number of standouts from May's Cannes Film Festival will also play in Toronto, such as Jafar Panahi's Palme d'Or winner It Was Just an Accident, Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, Oliver Laxe's Sirât and Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague. WATCH | TIFF organizers adapt strategy as competition from other festivals grows: TIFF facing stiff competition from Venice Film Festival for world premieres 10 months ago With TIFF now getting fewer world premieres due to stiff competition from the Venice Film Festival which happens a week earlier, TIFF organizers are adapting their strategy by embracing more homegrown films.

Why Josh Homme wanted to film a concert inside the Paris Catacombs
Last summer, Queens of the Stone Age became the first-ever band to perform inside the Paris Catacombs, where the remains of more than six million people are held. That performance was captured in a new concert film and five-song EP, Alive in the Catacombs. In an interview with Q 's Tom Power, frontman Josh Homme says the concert is something he's been trying to make happen for 20 years, but he's been fascinated by the Catacombs since he was a kid. WATCH | Official trailer for Alive in the Catacombs: "When you're young, you never think you're going to die," he says. "It all seems so far away. And people never talk about things like that unless it happens, and it's terrible. So I just think the taboo nature drew me in close. And I think the art of it — the way these bones were so lovingly, respectfully stacked — it just caught my eye. I just couldn't believe that that was OK." The first time Homme had ever been in the Catacombs was to perform with his band, though he had tried to see them before. "For the better part of 20 years, it was just something that every time we would go to Europe, I would say, 'Hey, let's try to play the Catacombs again,'" he says. "It was almost a joke to myself because it had not happened." But after finally getting permission to hold a concert there, Homme got incredibly sick. Immediately after his performance in the Catacombs, he had to fly back to the U.S. to get emergency surgery. "What are the chances that I myself would be in a very dire situation at the same time, after all those years of waiting?" he says. "They're so small that it felt meant to be. And again, you know, there's some that would say, 'It's just a pile of bones and nothing is meant to be, everything's chaos.' And that's OK, too. I'm fine with someone saying that. I don't care about that. I'm saying it feels meant to be for me."

A concert in Italy by Russian conductor Gergiev is cancelled after protests
Valery Gergiev at the Mariinsky Theatre in Russia, on May 1, 2013. (Dmitry Lovetsky / AP) ROME — A concert by Russian conductor Valery Gergiev has been cancelled, organizers in Italy announced Monday, following protests against giving the stage to the conductor who has been largely barred from European venues for failing to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gergiev had been invited to conduct during a summer festival at the Royal Palace of Caserta near Naples next Sunday. The regional governor, Vincenzo de Luca, had defended the invitation, saying that 'the logic of preclusion … does not help peace.'' The invitation had been widely criticized by human rights activists, Russian opposition figures and European parliamentarians. Gergiev, who is head of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Russian state theaters, is considered close to President Vladimir Putin. Milan's La Scala was the first theater in the West to cut off relations with Gergiev, who was engaged at the theater when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, after he failed to respond to Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala's appeal to speak out against the war.
