Toronto International Film Festival Announces 2010 Galas and Special Presentations

The Toronto International Film Festival has announced its first batch of 2010 films today, adding 50 titles to the previously announced hockey musical opener. There are a lot of great directors bringing their latest work to Toronto via the Galas and Special Presentations, with some buzz-worthy films carrying over from Cannes and Sundance, and essentially anything having a limited release in September seeming to slip in as well.
Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan will have its North American premiere here after debuting in Venice a few weeks prior, while Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go gets a world premiere, along with Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden’s It’s Kind of a Funny Story starring Keir Gilchrist, Emma Roberts and Zach Galifianakis. Ben Affleck’s The Town is also playing TIFF despite hitting theatres everywhere the same weekend, and Buried and Jack Goes Boating will both attempt to build on positive reviews from Sundance. New films from Woody Allen, Robert Redford, Emilio Estevez, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Julian Schnabel, Mike Mills, Stephen Frears and Michael Winterbottom are also in the mix. Do you plan on attending TIFF this year? Check out the full list after the jump, or read the official press release for more details.
