With nearly one week to go until the Toronto International Film Festival 2023 (or TIFF 2023) kicks off, the A-listers who are and aren't attending have been revealed. Amid ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, some stars are able to attend and promote their films at the 48th annual festival thanks to interim agreements. Among those expected to…
The outlet also reports those whom are likely to travel to the 6ix, including Nicolas Cage for A24’s “Dream Scenario” — the actor is reportedly close to finalizing an interim agreement — and Jessica Chastain for Michel Franco’s “Memory” — the actress has reportedly already secured an IA. Prior to TIFF, Chastain is expected to attend the Venice Film Festival, which kicks off today , for “Memory” with co-star Peter Sarsgaard.
With interim agreements in place, SAG-AFTRA leaders have been vocal in encouraging talent to promote independent films at festivals. Meanwhile, some actors’ TIFF presence remains unknown like Kristin Scott Thomas, who is a maybe for “North Star” — which she directs and stars in — while co-star Scarlett Johansson is a no. Michael Keaton, who directs and stars in “Knox Goes Away”, is unlikely to attend but not a definite no. The same goes for Kate Winslet and her “Lee” co-stars, and Bobby Cannavale for “Ezra”. If these projects don’t already have interim agreements, they’re likely hoping to receive a late in the day IA.
Elsewhere, there’s a number of projects whose casts won’t be hitting the red carpet, but their directors will be, like Taika Waititi for “Next Goal Wins”, Craig Gillespie for “Dumb Money”, David Yates for “Pain Hustlers”, George C. Wolfe for “Rustin”, John Carney for “Flora And Son”, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin for “Nyad” and Christos Nikou for “Fingernails”.
Some directors attending the strike-impacted festival also happen to be WGA members, but will solely attend “as directors.”
