Steven Soderbergh’s ‘The Christophers,’ Nia DaCosta’s ‘Hedda’ to World Premiere at TIFF
New movies from directors Steven Soderbergh and Nia DaCosta have been added to this year's Toronto Film Festival lineup.
Soderbergh, the prolific filmmaker of “Ocean’s 11,” “Contagion” and “Erin Brockovich,” was at the last edition of TIFF with his ghost thriller “Presence.” His newest film, “The Christophers,” is described as a black comedy set in the art world and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning, and James Corden. Sung-hyun Byun, a South Korean filmmaker whose 2017 film “The Merciless” had its world premiere at Cannes, will attend the festival with “Good News.” The movie is reportedly about people who attempt to land a hijacked plane. “Mile End Kicks” follows a 24-year-old movie critic who moves to Montreal in the summer of 2011 with the goal of writing a book about Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill.” Her plans take a turn when she falls for two guys in the same struggling indie band and vows to become their publicist.
