It’s the best time of year in Toronto if you love film. The 2019 Toronto International Film Festival is just days away, and the full list of expected stars, talent, creators, and filmmakers has been announced.
Once upon a time, the festival director would read out the list of attendees, but that would take someone a very long time these days.
A few notable highlights include Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nick Cage, Christian Bale, Alfre Woodard, Samara Weaving, Rian Johnson, Chaz Ebert, Atom Egoyan, Isla Fisher, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Chris Evans, Todd Phillips, Keegan-Michael Key, The Weeknd, Amy Jo Johnson, Taika Waititi, Constance Wu, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
The list is impressive, but as TIFF noted with the release, it’s “not complete and is subject to change,” so there could be surprises, and some people expected to attend could end up having to cancel.
The 44th Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 5 to 15.
Individual tickets go on sale à la carte for TIFF Insiders on September 1. Purchase tickets at tiff.net/tickets, or over the phone at 416.599.TIFF or 1.888.599.8433. You can also visit in person from 10am to 10am ET daily at the Steve & Rashmi Gupta Box Office at TIFF Bell Lightbox.
