#TIFF17: DAY THREE SIGHTINGS – JESSICA CHASTAIN, AARON SORKIN, STANLEY TUCCI, EMMA THOMPSON, GRETA GERWIG + MORE!
TIFF ’17 officially is switching into high gear as the starpower begins to pour over Toronto this weekend. Unlike previous years, we still are seeing a lot of action spilling into next Monday and Tuesday.
Greta Gerwig is getting tons of buzz for her work in autobiographical LADYBIRD, which she directs. We spotted the super-gracious Gerwig and Laurie Metcalf whom you remember from Sitcom Roseanne. Star Saoirse Ronan unfortunately couldn’t make it in this year despite being scheduled.

#SPOTTED: AARON SORKIN IN TORONTO FOR “STEVE JOBS”
Few screenwriters are recognized as well as Aaron Sorkin, hence when we heard he was in town, naturally we became v. excited. If you loved The West Wing (which he created), The Newsroom, The Social Network or A Few Good Men, you already are a fan of Sorkin and you might not even have known it.
Sorkin made the rounds in Toronto today in support of Danny Boyle‘s Oscar contender, Steve Jobs, which stars Michael Fassbender in the titular role. He appeared on CITY‘s Breakfast Television (watch here) and later Global‘s The Morning Show.
We’re not sure why, but we expected him to be unapproachable, but he was amazingly nice to stop and greet fans. “Who’s that handsome guy??”, he joked as he signed an 8×10 of himself. And no word of a life he did look great!
