Benedict Cumberbatch Will Travel To The Lost City Of Z For James Gray

Benedict Cumberbatch just can't stay out of the news these days. The British thesp is heating up and with TIFF kicking off tomorrow, he's going to be hotter than ever. It was only a few days ago that we heard rumors of his involvement with Star Wars: Episode VII, which was based on the fact that he departed Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak. It turns out that the actor actually left del Toro's project for another film though, James Gray's The Lost City of Z.

Daniel Radcliffe is certainly doing everything he can to shed his Harry Potter persona, and this is no more evident than in the first trailer for the highly anticipated Kill Your Darlings, which already premiered to rave reviews at Sundance and is getting ready to hit TIFF this week.

That’s My Boy Director Sean Anders Will Helm Horrible Bosses 2

Horrible Bosses was one of my favorite comedies of the year when it was released back in 2011 and to this day, I still re-visit it every so often, finding it just as funny as the first time I saw it. So you can imagine my excitement when Horrible Bosses 2 was announced, with the same cast and director attached as well. Things were looking pretty promising for the sequel too, but then Seth Gordon, who directed the first film, dropped out.

Parkland Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

Peter Landesman's impressive directorial debut, Parkland, is a taut picture, one with an all-star cast and a tight script. Though the film doesn't really touch on anything that we haven't seen before, it does explore the assassination of John F. Kennedy from a perspective that we don't usually see: that of the people on the inside.

Derek Cianfrance Will Adapt The Light Between Oceans

Derek Cianfrance is on a bit of a hot streak right now, with recent efforts like Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond The Pines releasing to much acclaim, and deservedly so. According to THR, the director has now set his sights on his next project, an adaptation of M.L. Stedman's best selling novel, The Light Between Oceans.

Man Of Tai Chi Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

Keanu Reeves steps both behind and in front of the camera for his directorial debut, Man of Tai Chi. Acting as an excuse to allow the actor's wildest martial arts dreams to play out on the big screen, the film lacks a heart and soul, but almost makes up for it with its exhilarating and expertly choreographed fight scenes that fill up most of its runtime.

Metallica Through The Never Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

Metallica Through The Never is probably the next best thing to actually sitting front row at one of the legendary band's concerts. If that statement doesn't tickle your fancy, then you're best off skipping this one. Though billed as a feature film, Metallica Through The Never is a concert film, through and through. A glorified concert film, maybe, but a concert film nonetheless.

The Art Of The Steal Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

Who doesn't love a good old fashioned heist movie? I bet that's what director Jonathan Sobol thought when he went to make The Art of Steal, a conventional but for the most part, pretty harmless heist film.
