One of the Films to get the most buzz at TIFF ’13 is Rush, which already has a great amount of Awards buzz surrounding it. Although Director Ron Howard certainly is no stranger to Toronto, having film Cinderella Man here about eight years ago. The Biography centers on Austrian Formula 1 Driver Niki Lauda who almost lost his life after a crash in 1976, taking-on British Rival James Hunt in a challenge. Insiders who’ve seen this Film already are raving how great it is and in a month’s time we’ll know too!
Rush stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Dormer, Olivia Wilde and Daniel Brühl, who should be here early in the Festival for opening night Gala, The Fifth Estate.

“We need some sort of Grand Illusion”.
We all need campy fun now and then. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars Steve Carell in the Titular Role as a Magician who splits with his Partner after a guerilla Street Magician steals their thunder. After spending time with his childhood Idol, Burt realizes what it is that made him love Magic so much in the first place! Think Zoolander, but with Magicians and Tricks instead of Runways!
Directed by Don Scardino (30 Rock, Royal Pains), The Incredible Burt Wonderstone also stars Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, Jim Carrey, Steve Buscemi, Brad Garrett and James Gandolfini.

Simply not getting enough of the amazing DJANGO UNCHAINED festivities tonight in Toronto last night, I went back for a double-helping in New York City, scoping-out the World Premiere of this latest Masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino. The Stars came-out in full force in support of the Film at Zeigfeld Theatre, including the likes of Olivia Wilde, John Legend, Zac Efron, 50 Cent, Zach Braff, Darren Aronofsky, Natasha Lyonne, Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Jeremy Piven and oh so many more. Cast Members Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Christoph Waltz, Don Johnson and Leonardo Dicaprio joined iconic Filmmaker Tarantino, whom I was lucky enough to meet in Toronto. Stargazers didn’t even know which direction to run first as the Celebrities poured onto the Red Carpet and out of the venue after the three-hour-long Action-Drama-Western-Thriller ended after 11:00 PM.
I was even lucky enough to get to meet Oscar Winners Foxx and Waltz. Also, I was super-stoked to get Snaps with the handsome Stars Wilson and Piven. Leone has never looked better and what a pleasure it was to meet the Man (Aronofsky) who helmed one of my all-time Faves, Black Swan.
Watch some brief Clips I got of Foxx and Dicaprio arriving at the Venue:
