Kenneth Branagh and Olivia Cooke star in FIREHEART, a new Animated Feature coming soon that looks at gender conventionalities in firefighting.
Synopsis:
Ever since she was a child, Georgia Nolan has had only one dream: to become a fireman, just like her father. Unfortunately, in New York City in 1930, women are not allowed to be firemen. But, when the city’s firemen begin to disappear in a series of mysterious fires at Broadway theatres, Georgia sees a golden opportunity. She disguises herself as “Joe,” an awkward young man, and joins the team of improvised firemen in charge of stopping the arsonist. Georgia must preserve her false identity at all costs, especially since her father will be in charge of this high-risk investigation. Starring Olivia Cooke, Kenneth Branagh, and William Shatner, FIREHEART is a heartfelt comedy about teamwork, family, and having the courage to pursue your dreams.

Two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz is back in Toronto to begin work on the second season of The Roku Channel Series MOST DANGEROUS GAME. The season, set in New York, will see Waltz reprise the role of Miles Sellers, the CEO of The Tiro Fund – a front for a dangerous and expensive hunting game.
The brilliant Actor returns to the City after having visited TIFF ’17 for Downsizing, which also was filmed here in Toronto 2016. The first season formerly on Quibi, which just got acquired by Roku, was filmed here in 2019 with Liam Hemsworth starring. The Umbrella Academy‘s David Castañeda who just wrapped the third season of that Series last month, returns once again to the City to film!
We spotted Waltz who was gracious to stop to sign some autographs. We dug-up our Selfie with Waltz in New York at the Premiere of DJANGO UNCHAINED back in 2012. That was an epic night!
MOST DANGEROUS GAME begins filming October 1, 2021 and wraps late November.
Waltz next can be seen in NO TIME TO DIE September 30, 2021 and also Wes Anderson’s THE FRENCH DISPATCH October 22, 2021.

Toronto was gifted with the grace of Arlo Parks tonight, the first concert to take place at Queen Elizabeth Theatre since we began to navigate the Pandemic. Originally scheduled at The Mod Club, the show was moved to the larger venue to allow for a safer experience and distancing.
The 21-year-old Singer/Songwriter already has earned the highest acclaim in the UK, her acclaimed debut LP Collapsed in Sunbeams winning the Mercury Prize and her winning Best New Artist at The Brits, all this year!
Parks played for about an hour, placing the enthusiastic audience into a trance with her silky vocals and introspective poeticism in her lyrics. It all felt so effortless as Parks organically connected with her audience, thanking them for making her feel so welcome.
Parks will be back next March playing at Drake-backed new venue History, formerly Greenwood Racetrack, with Clairo.
I was the one lucky fan who got a Selfie with the brilliant emerging Artist after her show! She was so kind to walk over for a quick Snap as she head to her Tour Bus. Next stop Michigan.
Some Snaps:
