Thanks Lori. Oh that's really sad....
In light of the tragic passing of our esteemed colleague and dear friend, Richard Bradshaw this week, and his scheduled funeral for next Tuesday, August 21, 2007, the Toronto International Film Festival Group has decided to cancel its launch press conference scheduled for Tuesday, August 21 at 11:00am. Press announcements scheduled for that day will now go live on the website on Wednesday, August 22. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Mr. Bradshaw's family and friends and our colleagues at the Canadian Opera Company.
The complete film list by title, Gala schedule, and Visa Screening Room Schedule will now go live on Wednesday, August 22, after 12:00pm.
I think we can wait patiently one more day in that tragic case.

Just went on the TIFF '07 site and the film schedule has been announced!
I tried to link it but was kicked out of the site and can't get back on.
Reservation Road will be presented on Thursday Sept 13th.
It's still not confirmed that Joaquin will be there. I should know by Saturday August 25th if I can get a couple of passes. I talked to the box office and was informed that the special presentation films go very fast!

Film Description and Director Biography
One of our greatest storytellers, Terry George (Hotel Rwanda, Some Mother’s Son) returns to the Festival with a haunting tale of loss and revenge. The film focuses on the difficult paths taken by two fathers in the wake of overwhelming tragedy in their lives brought about by a late-night accident at the side of a deserted town road. It features stunning, moving performances by Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix, two of contemporary American cinema’s most engaging and daring actors. They are ably supported by wonderfully nuanced work from Jennifer Connelly and Mira Sorvino.
The film starts gently, as two families spend a weekend evening doing family activities. Ethan and Grace Learner (Phoenix and Connelly) attend their son’s lakeside concert, while divorced dad Dwight Arno (Ruffalo) and his son catch the ball game. The families climb into their respective cars and set off home, but something tells us that tragedy is about to strike. The ball game went into extra innings, so an agitated Dwight races his son home to assuage as best he can his ex-wife (Sorvino), explaining the situation to her on his cell phone. The Learners have a more relaxed drive, their main concern being the welfare of the fireflies their children have caught in a bottle. These voyages intersect in a horrible split second, resulting in the death of a child and two very changed men – one wracked with guilt, the other destroyed by grief.
Ethan, angered that he can’t get any help from authorities in tracking down the killer of his son, decides to take matters into his own hands. What ensues is a game of cat and mouse, as one man searches for the hit-and-run driver who destroyed his family, while the other desperately attempts to cover his tracks. As Dwight’s remorse propels him on a journey toward doing the right thing, Ethan’s unbearable sadness morphs into something darker, compelling him to take radical action.
Reservation Road is a showcase of some of the world’s finest acting talents. Part tearjerker, part vigilante film, it probes our own inner conscience, asking what we might do if faced with impossible moral choices.
Terry George was born in Belfast. He worked in the United States as a journalist, writing for such magazines as Rolling Stone and The Village Voice. He has written and produced several plays at the Irish Arts Center in New York, where he met Jim Sheridan, with whom he co-wrote the screenplays for Sheridan’s In the Name of the Father (93) and The Boxer (97). Some Mother’s Son, a Gala presentation at the Festival in 1996, was his first feature as a director. It was followed by Hotel Rwanda, which received three Academy Award® nominations, including best original screenplay, and won the People’s Choice Award at the Festival in 2004. Reservation Road (07) is his latest film.
