TORONTO - A biopic about Winnie Mandela starring Jennifer Hudson and Terrence Howard, a Joel Schumacher-directed film about home invasion featuring Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman, and an art exhibit from actor James Franco and Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant are among the new additions to the lineup of the Toronto International Film Festival.
There are several splashy thrillers among the latest spate of films announced for the festival, which runs from Sept. 8 to 18.
David Hare's "Page Eight" casts Bill Nighy as a long-serving M15 officer whose operation is threatened when his boss and best friend dies.
Schumacher's "Trespass" showcases Cage as a family man facing the possibility of losing everything in a vicious invasion.
And Gary McKendry's "Killer Elite" casts Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen in an action-packed account of an ex-special ops agent tasked with taking down three dangerous assassins.
The Toronto fest will also feature the world premiere of "Winnie," Darrell J. Roodt's sensitive portrayal of the South African politician, who is Nelson Mandela's wife.
