The Toronto International Film Festival announced another round of films today, including what had been the missing elephant in the room - Michael Moore's CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY. With the film's early October release date - and Moore's long history with the Canadian festival - it seemed a sure bet that his latest film would preem there, but until today, nothing was official.
TIFF is calling CAPITALISM a North American Premiere, which has led to speculation that the film will have its World Premiere next month at the Venice Film Festival. Will it also sneak at Telluride?
Also of note to nonfiction fans is the return to Toronto of Werner Herzog - this time with his fiction film, BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. If the trailer for this Nicholas Cage project is any indication, expect it to be one of the most talked about films of the late summer/early fall festival season (it's also billed as a North American Premiere so Venice and possibly Telluride are likely for it as well).
