Likely one of this year’s most intriguing screenings belongs to Woody Allen. His newest film, Cassandra's Dream, made in London, England, stars Ewan McGregor and Colin Farell as brothers. I can’t imagine how surreal it would be to see the legendary director nervously rubbing elbows with other celebs on the streets of Toronto. I wonder if he’ll bring his stepdaughter as his date.

Other high-profile pics include the new Coen Brothers' flick, No Country for Old Men, Paul Haggis’ In The Valley of Elah, and a biopic called I’m Not There, which tells the story of six different periods of Bob Dylan’s life with Dylan played by six different actors: Marcus Carl Franklin, Ben Whishaw, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, and Cate Blanchett. If both Bob Dylan and Woody Allen show up, I probably won’t be able to go on living.

Also included in this year’s schedule is a program of provoking Real to Reel documentaries, comprised entirely of world premieres, including Ted Braun’s Darfur Now, a film in which Don Cheadle and five others issue a call to action to help stop the genocide in the war-torn region of Sudan. Rounding out the TIFF program is some Canadian content in the form of David Cronenberg’s second collaboration with Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises, after their successful union with A History of Violence.

Get ready, because for the next month, everything you see and hear will be TIFF related. If you want to lay low, maybe consider a trip to Hollywood; all the celebrities will be out schmoozing it up in Toronto.
