Big Names, Slow Sales At Toronto Film Festival

Film aficionados and industry insiders awoke Sunday morning to a cold dreary overcast day that seemed to reflect the overall mood at the Toronto International Film Festival. “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of films here, but there hasn’t been anything we’ve seen with broad commercial appeal just yet,” Lionsgate production head Tom Ortenberg said.

At one point, it appeared that potential buyers were fleeing the preview of the school shooting drama In Bloom, but it turns out they were not running from the dark drama, but rather running to one of the hottest properties, “Nothing Is Private”. This disturbing drama is directed by Alan Ball and looks into the sexual abuse that a 13 year old Arab American girl suffers.

Fracture: Ryan Gosling’s Movie (And Relationship?)

Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling (of Half Nelson fame) recently spoke with MoviesOnline at the LA press day.  He was there to promote his new movie, Fracture.  Gosling stars alongside screen legend Anthony Hopkins in the new dramatic thriller. 

In the film, Gosling plays a crusading prosecuting attorney in search of justice.  Fracture is packed with twists and turns that weave in and out of the courtroom as the pair tries to outwit each other. The film features an outstanding supporting cast that includes Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice), and Billy Burke.
