Celebrities coming to the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival
Global News
Hollywood's biggest stars are set to arrive at the Toronto International Film Festival, which will take place from Sept. 5 to Sept. 15, 2024.
As the city gears up for the annual Toronto International Film Festival, locals and visitors alike are already buzzing about the stars they may encounter in town.
It’s no secret that one of the most popular activities during the 10-day festival is star spotting. From A-list actors to musicians and film directors, TIFF brings all kinds of industry professionals to Toronto, and with them, hordes of fans eager for a peek.
This year, the festival’s guests, including Cate Blanchett, Bruce Springsteen and Selena Gomez, will serve glitz and glamour in The Six — and hopefully stop for a few selfies with their admirers.
Superstar Angelina Jolie is scheduled to attend the festival this year, where she will be honoured with the TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media. The award, given to a professional who connects their social activism with cinema, will be presented to Jolie at the festival’s fundraising gala on Sept. 8.
The 49-year-old filmmaker’s latest project, a war movie called Without Blood, will make its debut at the festival. The film, about a woman seeking revenge for the deaths of her father and brother, stars Salma Hayek Pinault and was directed by Jolie.
Movie lovers and rock music fans are in for a treat with the world premiere of Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. The film, which is expected to see Springsteen himself walk the red carpet at the premiere, is a reflection of the Dancing in the Dark singer’s long-standing career.
Narrated by Springsteen, Road Diary is filled with rare glimpses of the band members in their youth, as well as behind-the-scenes footage from their latest world tour.
TIFF 2024 is expected to bring Selena Gomez to town for the Canadian premiere of her new film Emilia Pérez. Described as a combination of “pop opera, narco thriller, and gender affirmation drama,” the film also stars Zoe Saldaña.
