TORONTO - Heavyweight movie stars Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Edward Norton are among the celebrities slated to attend the Toronto International Film Festival next month, organizers said Tuesday.
Pitt, Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and Oscar-winning filmmakers Ethan and Joel Coen will bring their dark spy-comedy "Burn After Reading," while Norton will be in town with Colin Farrell and Jon Voight to support their film "Pride and Glory," a gritty portrait of a multi-generational police family.
They join a long list of celebrities set to walk the red carpet, including Viggo Mortensen and Renee Zellweger starring in the western "Appaloosa," and Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore and Gael Garcia Bernal who will introduce their tale, "Blindness."
The festival will also feature presentations by filmmakers including Kathryn Bigelow, Howard Zinn, Julian Schnabel, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin as part of a lecture series.
Late additions to the film roster include the period comedy "Dean Spanley," starring Peter O'Toole and Jeremy Northam; "The Lucky Ones," starring Rachel McAdams and Tim Robbins; and "Nothing but the Truth," starring Kate Beckinsale, Alan Alda and David Schwimmer.
The 10-day movie-lovers' bash runs from Sept. 4 to 13.
