HOLLYWOOD stars including Jennifer Lawrence Nike Air Max 97 Silver UK , Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and Emma Stone are set to head to this year’s Toronto Film Festival.
They’ll be hoping to create an early buzz around their upcoming films going into awards season.
Toronto is seen as a key launch pad for Oscar contenders. Previous films to have won the festival’s top award and then the best picture Oscar include “Slumdog Millionaire.”
Stone will be returning to the festival to present “Battle of the Sexes” — in which she plays tennis star Billie Jean King opposite Steve Carell.
Oscar winner Lawrence will offer up her latest film “Mother!” directed by Darren Aronofsky. The horror film also stars Javier Bardem, Domhnall Gleeson and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Meanwhile Jolie and Clooney will both present films they’ve directed rather than starred in. Jolie brings her Cambodian genocide drama “First They Killed My Father,” with Clooney directing Matt Damon in Coen brothers’ crime comedy “Suburbicon.”
A strong British contingent will also be heading to the festival Nike Air Max 97 Blue UK , including “Lord of the Rings” star Andy Serkis, whose directorial debut “Breathe” will receive its world premiere.
The film features Andrew Garfield in the true story of disability rights activist Robin Cavendish.
Other British stars expected to attend to support their films include Kate Winslet, Idris Elba, Benedict Cumberbatch Nike Air Max 97 Mens UK , Jamie Bell and Gary Oldman.
Many appear in historical dramas — Oldman appears as Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour,” while Cumberbatch stars as Thomas Edison in “The Current War.”
There are also a number of literary adaptations including Ian McEwan’s “The Children Act,” starring Emma Thompson and “Disobedience,” by Baileys Women’s Prize winner Naomi Alderman Nike Air Max 97 UK , starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams.
Other highly anticipated films to premiere at the festival include “I, Tonya” — which sees Margot Robbie star as disgraced U.S. figure skater Tonya Harding — and “Stronger,” starring Jake Gyllenhall in the true story about a man who lost his legs in the Boston Marathon bombing.
The full list of the first 14 galas and 33 special presentations announced can be found on the Toronto International Film Festival website.
South Korea's top military officer on Thursday cautioned about possible good cop-bad cop strategy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), touching on the New Year's address made by the DPRK's top leader.
Seoul's Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said the DPRK may conduct the carrot-and-stick strategy Nike Air VaporMax 97 Mens UK , which means Pyongyang could offer to hold dialogue with Seoul while having an ax to grind such as making provocations.
Kim made such remarks at a meeting with senior military officers earlier in the day, Defense Ministry Spokesman Kim Min- seok told a routine press briefing.
His comments came a day after DPRK leader Kim Jong Un said in a televised New Year's speech that Pyongyang will "create atmosphere to ameliorate the relations between the DPRK and South Korea."
Minister Kim said last month that Pyongyang will highly likely provoke between late January and early March this year following the purge and execution of Jang Song-Thaek, once-powerful uncle of leader Kim Jong Un.
The South Korean military chief said that competition may become excessive among the DPRK military officers as they may seek to show their royalty to leader Kim Jong Un following Jang's execution.
"Given past cases, North Korea (DPRK) took a conciliatory stance when it had to overcome internal difficulties or improve internal situations. At that time Nike VaporMax 97 Mens UK , (the DPRK) offered to hold a dialogue and inter-Korean talks happened," Defense Ministry Spokesman Kim told reporters.
The spokesman, however, noted that the DPRK made provocations when its internal problems failed to be solved even after buying time during the inter-Korean dialogue Nike Air VaporMax 97 Womens UK , saying that it needs to wait and see whether the DPRK will carry out such two-track strategy of dialogue and provocation.
