A Look at the Trends at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival
A Look at the Trends at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival By Jenelle Riley September 29, 2011 Photo by Getty Images The 36th Toronto International Film Festival was held Sept. 8 to 18, bringing film titles from around the world in an effort to find distribution and audiences. While Hollywood provided star power with films that already have release dates, such as Brad Pitt's "Moneyball" and George Clooney's star-laden "The Ides of March," the festival also offered a chance for audiences to view more than 300 films from more than 60 countries. In the end, a bittersweet comedy from Lebanon, "Where Do We Go Now?" won the Cadillac People's Choice Award. Lebanese director Nadine Labaki, who also stars in the film, wasn't on hand to accept her award but was reached at the airport in Germany for comment. "I'm running around jumping up and down at the Frankfurt airport," she said in a statement read by festival programmer Rasha Salti. "Tomorrow we'll be screening 'Where Do We Go Now?' for the first time in Lebanon, and I will be proud and happy to announce the news in front of my crew, my family, and the Lebanese audience." Last year's winner, "The King's Speech," of course did very well at the Oscars, and "Where Do We Go Now?" has already been submitted as Lebanon's official entry in the foreign language film category. Read on for other trends and standouts at the 11-day festival.The Play's the Thing: Several films that began their lives as plays premiered at the festival to strong notices. Ralph Fiennes directs and stars in a modern version of Shakespeare's tale of a vain army general, "Coriolanus," which earned strong Oscar buzz for Vanessa Redgrave as the title character's scheming mother. Fiennes first played the role 10 years ago onstage but says it's timelier than ever. "The play has resonance with the times we're in, especially now with so much uncertainty in the world and the constant tension between leadership and the voice of the people," Fiennes said. "It's a continually resonant political thriller with a Greek tragedy at the center of it."Also finding its way from stage to screen was "The Ides of March," co-written by, directed by, and starring George Clooney as a presidential candidate, and based on Beau Willimon's play "Farragut North." Ryan Gosling, who stars as a campaign adviser who uncovers unsavory secrets about the candidate, admitted he hadn't seen the play but was won over by the film's script and director. "When George Clooney calls," he noted, "you say yes." Also intriguing audiences was Christopher Hampton adapting his play "The Talking Cure," now titled "A Dangerous Method" and starring Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, respectively. And then there was "Killer Joe," Tracy Letts' adaptation of his dark comedy about a hit man (Matthew McConaughey) and the dysfunctional family that hires him. The film was directed by William Friedken, who previously brought Letts' play "Bug" to the big screen, and who earned raves for performances from McConaughey as the cold-blooded killer and Juno Temple as the object of his affection. "Coriolanus," "The Ides of March," and "A Dangerous Method" will be released before the end of the year, in time for Oscar consideration, and "Killer Joe" was acquired at the festival for U.S. distribution by Liddell Entertainment.Actors Pull Double Duty: Many actors were appearing in more than one film at the festival, including Phillip Seymour Hoffman ("Moneyball," "The Ides of March"), Clooney ("The Ides of March," "The Descendants"), Gerard Butler ("Coriolanus," "Machine Gun Preacher"), Redgrave ("Coriolanus," "Anonymous"), Seth Rogen ("50/50," "Take This Waltz"), and Elizabeth Olsen ("Martha Marcy May Marlene," "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding"). Perhaps no one was more visible, however, than Ontario's own Gosling, in town to promote "Drive" and "The Ides of March" and seeming to be on the cover of every magazine at the newsstand. "It's a very strange thing and a thing you can't control, having all this happen at once," noted Gosling, who also appeared in "Crazy, Stupid, Love" earlier this year. "Fortunately, I didn't just make three films this year, I made three films that I love and am very proud of."Michael Fassbender Has "Shame": Also headlining two films was Fassbender, starring in the aforementioned "A Dangerous Method" and earning Oscar buzz for his role as a sex addict in "Shame." The latter reteams him with director Steve McQueen, who gave Fassbender a breakout role as IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands in 2008's "Hunger." Fassbender said he was eager to work with McQueen again, noting, "The opportunity he gave me with 'Hunger' changed my life. And just the working relationship is a very honest and exciting and scary and rewarding one, so I jumped at the opportunity." Fox Searchlight acquired "Shame" and plans to release it before the end of the year to capitalize on the Oscar buzz surrounding Fassbender. "I don't think about it too much, to be honest," Fassbender said when asked about the hype. He then quoted "King Lear," quipping, "That way madness lies.""The Artist" Continues to Charm: After a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, where The Weinstein Company acquired it for a November release, "The Artist" wowed Toronto audiences. The movie tells the story of a silent film star (Jean Dujardin) who finds his career on the skids on the advent of talking pictures. "The Artist" is a silent film, shot in stunning black-and-white and done in the style of the era. It's a love letter from French director Michel Hazanavicius, making his first movie in America. His cast includes John Goodman and James Cromwell. Noted Hazanavicius, "It's funnywe don't use the same word in French for acting. We say 'play.' An actor plays. Here you say, 'An actor acts.' I think it's very different. In the term play, there's something about pretend. And in acting, you don't pretend, you do the thing. It's the difference I noticed between American and French actors." Dujardin was also on hand, but the film's leading lady, Brnice Bejo, was not, as she was due to give birth to her child with Hazanavicius. "The Artist" is the third film pairing Hazanavicius and Dujardin, who won the best actor prize at Cannes. Dujardin couldn't be more proud of his friend. "This movie came from a very deep artistic desire from Michel," he noted. "It's only his fourth movie, but he gained 10 years of experience on itnot just in terms of learning to make films but in terms of the exposure it will get for him."Gretchen Lodge Makes a Terrifying Debut: One of the popular titles in the Midnight Madness section of the festival was "Lovely Molly," written and directed by Eduardo Snchez, a co-director of horror phenom "The Blair Witch Project." Playing the lead role of a young bride who moves into her childhood home and finds herself questioning her sanity is Gretchen Lodge in her film debut. After moving to London as a teenager, Lodge appeared in shows such as "Chicago" and "A Chorus Line" in the West End. Shortly after moving to NY, she read a casting notice for the film (then called "The Possession") in Back Stage and went in for an audition. After an additional day of callbacks, she landed the role. She arrived in the Baltimore area two weeks before shooting, where she says she "stalked" locals. "I'd pick someone who reminded me of Molly and watch them for an afternoon." Lodge recently moved to Los Angeles, where she says she has no acting projects lined up and is seeking representation. But it's hard to imagine that not changing as the industry gets a look at her raw, emotional performance. "Lovely Molly" is seeking distribution.Bobcat's Blessed Duo: In recent years, Bobcat Goldthwait has made a name for himself as the writer-director of low-budget dark comedies that push the envelope. His fifth film, "God Bless America," is no exception, telling the story of an office drone named Frank who, infuriated with where he feels America is heading thanks to reality TV and a lack of manners, goes on a cross-country killing spree with 15-year-old Roxy in tow. For the role of Frank, Goldthwait cast his old friend Joel Murray, best known as drunkard Fred Rumsen on "Mad Men." Recalled Murray, "Bob sent me the script, and I loved it. I said, 'It's really good, Bob. Who do you want me to play, the guy in the office? The accountant?' He said, 'No. I want you for Frank.' I couldn't believe it. I don't get offered leads in movies very oftenI know it's hard to believe." For the role of Roxy, Goldthwait discovered 17-year-old Tara Lynne Barr, whose previous work on Nickelodeon series like "Zoey 101" couldn't have prepared her for the profane, raunchy lines she got to deliverincluding one particularly delicious rant against Diablo Cody. But the pair doesn't seem worried that the film, which was acquired by Magnet Releasing, pushes that envelope too far. "The people who are offended by it seem to be the people the movie is condemning," Barr pointed out. Echoed Murray, "You're either going to hate the movie or love it. And I think about 90 percent of people have been loving it."

Quantity of Gay Figures on Broadcast TV Dips
The amount of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered figures on broadcast television for that 2011-12 season has rejected slightly, according to an alternative report from watchdog group GLAAD.our editor recommendsTBS, A&E Fail GLAAD's Set of LGBT-Inclusive Programming The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's 16th annual "Where We're on televisionInch report finds that whenever significant gains throughout this years-11 primetime season, the general quantity of LGBT figures on scripted television has dipped to two.9 % of scripted series regulars, lower slightly from the 3 major.9 % registered this past year. "While the amount of LGBT figures is lower, probably the most popular shows with experts and audiences for example Glee, True Bloodstream and also the Good Wife weave story lines about lgbt figures in to the fabric from the show," GLAAD acting leader Mike Thompson stated inside a statement announcing this news. STORY: 'Glee,' 'Modern Family' Score GLAAD Honours "Be it the growing household of Mitchell and Cameron [Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet] on Modern Family or even the recent wedding of Callie and Arizona [Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw] on Grey's Anatomy, People in america be prepared to begin to see the diversity in our country symbolized within their favorite programs which includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people," he added. Fox, which broadcasts GLAAD comedy series co-champion Glee, rated because the most inclusive broadcast network, with 6.8 percent of standard figures being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, marking an enormous improvement in the group's 2007 report which unsuccessful to locate one LGBT series regular around the network. The 2011-12 report marked the very first time ABC wasn't within the lead for six years. NBC rated third, then the CW and CBS.

New You are able to Fashion Week Gives Hint of Actresses' Honours Season Looks
It doesn't have a very ball to determine exactly what the styles is going to be for honours season 2011-12. The lately wrapped NY spring 2012 fashion shows are the most useful indicator because stars will put on spring looks before they hit the style magazines.our editor recommendsNY Fashion Week CelebsSundance Funnel Orders Second Season of favor Rehab Show 'All around the Line'Emmy Fashion 2011: Gwyneth Paltrow's Dress Dissed By FansKim Kardashian Wedding Gown Designer Revealed: Vera Wang'Footloose' Fashion: Vital, HSN Partner for twenty-four-Hour Promotion "Since I've seen these gowns with puffed bottoms -- like curtains attracted -- at Oscar p la Renta and Zac Posen, tight looks old," celebrity stylist George Kotsiopoulos informs THR. "With all of these uneven hems, you are able to wager you will see a larger curiosity about a wonderful heel to put on together.Inch Stylist Anna Bingemann, who works together with Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi W and Rachel Weisz, sums up together with her trends assessment: "Masturbator sleeves, small waists and larger skirts, coupled with bold designs and colours.Inch As opposed to the shoulder and bust detail of years past, the main focus this year comes from knees to hem. Where and just how did these looks manifest? At Zac Posen, it had been about lengthy-sleeve gowns (we're speaking in regards to you, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close), evening separates of tight, nipped-waist jackets with tulip skirts and old Hollywood looks having a twist -- such as the mermaid silhouette completed to the max. "Exaggerated mermaid gowns are for women who wish to create a splash," notes Kotsiopoulos (we're thinking Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone). Oscar p la Renta went for giant pouf skirts in colors like vivid eco-friendly and lipstick red-colored, with hemlines that ruffle and therefore are drawn and inflated like Gone Using the Wind curtains. The tops are lace corsetry or have metallic open-weave knit tops thrown them over. "It's fresh, youthful and unpredicted," states Kotsiopoulos. Adds stylist Leith Clark, who dresses Knightley, "I'm loving all of the lace detail." Lace also put their hands up at Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu. Color is going to be a great deal larger because two-tone and print gowns are hot, warmer, most popular. We observed crimson, red-colored and eco-friendly in most their glory (and orange was hanging), but yellow is creating a huge comeback. Carolina Herrera burst out just like a sunflower with a lot of yellow and leaf-eco-friendly gowns, and Vera Wang, who always does subtle neutrals, did yellow too. So did Monique Lhuillier, Derek Lam and Christian Cota. Rodarte did screaming brights, mostly yellows, in noisy floral prints -- "absolutely courageous," states Clark. Youthful stars like Mia Wasikowska love them, and Rooney Mara is at Rodarte's front row. Semi-sheer is extremely popular for spring it will likely be interesting to determine how that plays by helping cover their lighting and camera flashes on red-colored carpets. Stylists will need to try to avoid naked bits. Vera Wang performed with sheers in most whitened with texture so did Narciso Rodriguez. J. Mendel up and down pieced semi-sheers in different colors, and Marc Jacobs added transparent sections to Great Gatsby-style drop-waist dresses. You will find a lot of sheer insets, under garments options might get complicated. Marchesa went its very own way by having an evening-put on show full of metallic fringe, pale semi-sheers with wispy overlays and whitened gowns with down. "It had been major fashion," states Jen Rade, who dresses Julia Roberts. "They did metallics in most shades they catch light." The detail on these dresses is really elaborate it rivals Paris' pricey couture masterpieces. Without doubt Rachel Zoe, who had been in the show, will snap them up for clients like Hathaway As Catwoman. One factor without a doubt: Come the Globes, SAG Honours and Academy awards, anything simple, too tight, one shoulder or black will appear this past year -- no, make that last decade. Pictured below: Eye-catching citrus shades were area of the rainbow that made an appearance around the runway at Jason Wu (left) stars for example Frieda Pinto (in Juan Carlos Obando) have previously accepted the popularity.

Mia Farrow Zings Woodsy Allen on Twitter
Mia Farrow was married to Woodsy Allen for 12 years, and -- consequently -- made an appearance in lots of of his films (you are pardoned for losing count after 'Hannah and Her Sisters'). Well, it appears that Farrow left that decade-plus to be married with a few of Allen's patented wit. On Twitter the 2009 week, Mia responded, rather hilariously, to 1 of Sarah Silverman's posts. Take a look ahead. [via NYMag and WoW]

Once we have seen within the promotions, Meredith will rapidly be from employment, do not expect that being permanent. For Mer and Der, "They'll struggle," executive producer Shonda Rhimes states. "It is not really about Meredith and Derek separating forever. In my opinion people close ties get screwed up. People need to operate to correct them." Also look for issue with baby Zola. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) Where Were We? After learning that Meredith interfered while using trial, he shunned her and gone to live in the long run McMansion. What's Next? With no signs and signs and symptoms of forgiving Meredith nearby, Derek will begin to bond with Owen. "Derek and Owen coping the twisted brothers and sisters - Meredith and Cristina - that are very connected and extremely similar with techniques," Kevin McKidd notifies us. "So, they fight to flee the women a bit more. Owen starts helping Derek build his house, to ensure that they bond over might the manliness to become outdoors and moving wheelbarrows full of rocks. It's a way to enable them to decompress all pressure.Inch Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) Where Were We? She discovered she was pregnant with Owen's baby, then when she told him she planned to stop, he began her out. What's Next? Cristina will have trouble with should you abort the kid.

Grey's Anatomy Exclusive: Uncover who the completely new chief of Dallas Sophistication is Owen Search (Kevin McKidd) Where Were We? He was designated with choosing the completely new Chief Resident - April won - while dealing with Cristina's decision to possibly abort the kid. What's Next? Cristina and Owen may finally showed up in a détente. "In my opinion he realizes that it is actually her decision," McKidd teases. Still, Owen will probably be plenty busy once he's selected the completely new Chief of Dallas Sophistication. "Owen can be as shocked as everybody else, so that it changes the whole structure in the hospital," according to him. "Owen, even though he's the primary, [goes] to Richard a good deal.In . Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) Where Were We? Worried that his effort in child medicine might be overlooked, Alex ousted Meredith for tampering while using trial wishing of landing the primary Resident place. He appeared to become left by Lucy (Rachael Taylor), who needed his place at Arizona's former hospital in Malawi. What's Next? Everyone hates him, really. "We will probably watch Alex both develop and backslide a little,Inch Rhimes spills. "He starts offin an authentic bad place, like really behind and nobody likes him. He is not carrying this out well. We will probably watch him pull it together and work to acquire his associations back and charge forward." He'll do something inside the premiere that will really put Meredith within the debt. Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) Where Were We? After many pros and cons with Mark, Lexie made a decision to start a trusted relationship with Jackson. Though she did admit she used to be deeply deeply in love with Mark inside the finale. What's Next? Her relationship with Jackson remains going strong. Lest we forget, Lexie can be a year youthful in comparison with other documents, so she'll not do solo surgical treatments at this time around. For whether Lexie continues to be ready to get to be the completely new Grey of Grey's Anatomy, Rhimes states, "I appear like Meredith Grey might be the Grey of Grey's Anatomy which is the actual way it goes." Have a look at our fall preview for galleries, scoop, premiere calendars plus much more! Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) Where Were We? After nearly losing his and Callie's developing fetus in the vehicle accident, he gave Jackson and Lexie his blessing to continue seeing each other, but recognized he'll always love her. What's Next? He'll reduce his philandering ways and very focus on like a surgeon this year. "People have forgotten or lost sight that Mark Sloan is amongst the gifted plastic surgeons within the u . s . states,Inch Dane notifies us. Still, things could possibly get complicated when Mark mentors Jackson, while he once did Alex when he was dating Lexie. "It's the same number of conditions, therefore we will probably uncover if Sloan is a superb teacher or else,In . according to him. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) Where Were We? When designated by Mark to think about how Lexie was coping, Jackson got in their good graces and independently started rapport along with her. He was prepared to let Lexie go back to Mark. Fortunately, she made a decision to stay with him. What's Next? Working under Mark will probably be tough, nevertheless the real factor Jackson must be concerned about is making certain he treats Lexie right. "Mark sees that Lexie really loves Jackson which Jackson is a superb guy, it is therefore more a predicament that 'if you break her heart, I'll break the face area,AInch Dane states. Plus, Avery's mother is going to town! Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) Where Were We? Carrying out a tragic vehicle accident nearly destroyed her and her developing fetus, Callie healed and ongoing to marry Arizona. What's Next?
