Hathaway, Banderas movies at TIFF
Movies about a wedding and a romantic rivalry have been added to the Gala list for the Toronto International Film Festival.

Rachel Getting Married, directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anne Hathaway, will have its North American premiere. She stars as wisecracking, dramatic Kym, who returns home for the wedding of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt), bringing a long history of personal crisis and family conflict with her.

Also getting the Gala treatment is Richard Eyre's (Notes on a Scandal) The Other Man, which has its world premiere at TIFF. It tells the story of Peter (Liam Neeson) who discovers that his wife Lisa (Laura Linney) has been receiving emails and mobile messages from Ralph (Antonio Banderas), a man he never knew existed.

Also announced yesterday as a TIFF special presentation is the world premiere of Appaloosa, a western directed by Ed Harris and starring Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Renée Zellweger and Jeremy Irons.

TIFF runs from Sept. 4-13. For info and tickets go to tiff08.ca or call 416-968-FILM or 1-877-968-FILM.

I'm so excited for all of these. They sound like they have good plots and all feature some wonderful talent. I also think Viggo Mortensen is sorely underrated. Did anybody watch Eastern Promises in total awe of his talent? How he did not score an Oscar nomination is beyond me.

He did get an Oscar nomination for that film. He lost to Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will be Blood.

He did?! I swear I must be insane. Well good for him, at least he was recognized.

I think all I heard about then was There Will Be Blood and forgot about all the others nominated.

Totally agree with you about Viggo. Eastern Promises has scared me off Russians now. He was so damn hardcore. A History of Violence was also genius.

Appaloosa is going to be amazing. Look at that cast! And I loved Eastern Promises. It was amazing.
