Ad Astra: Elizabeth Debicki and Donald Sutherland

ad astra: Neither film looks to be making its way up north for the festival, though Ad Astra is slated to open in Toronto the following week, according to NOW Magazine. But here's what is coming the festival's final remaining gala slots will be filled by The Aeronauts, in which Wild Rose director Tom Harper reunites The Theory Of Everything's Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones as a scientist and a pilot attempting to measure the earth's atmosphere in a hot-air balloon, and Giuseppe Capotondi's Venice closer The Burnt Orange Heresy, an adaptation of Charles Willeford's art-heist novel starring Elizabeth Debicki, Claes Bang, Donald Sutherland and Mick Jagger. If you had been holding out hope that James Gray's Ad Astra and Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women would be announced in TIFF's final wave of title announcements well, sorry about that. Among the 17 additional special presentations, we find new work from French veterans Olivier Assayas's Wasp Network is a thriller about dissidents in 90s Cuba starring Edgar Ramirez, Pen lope Cruz and Gael Garc a Bernal; Justine Triet's Sibyl is a psychodrama starring Virginie Efira as a therapist and writer who uses one of her patients Ad le Exarchopoulos as a source of story material, and Quentin Dupieux's Deerskin promises to be another of that filmmaker's idiosyncratic experiments, with The Artist's Jean Dujardin as a man who develops an intense attachment to a deerskin jacket. And Waves, the new drama from Trey Edward Shults Krisha, It Comes At Night starring Kelvin Harrison Jr., Lucas Hedges, Taylor Russell and Sterling K. Brown. And there's a promising lineup of American cinema Noah Hawley's Lucy In The Sky, which stars Natalie Portman as an astronaut who has trouble readjusting to life back on Earth; Kenny Leon's American Son, a Netflix adaptation of Christopher Demos-Brown's stage play performed by its Broadway cast Kerry Washington, Jeremy Jordan, Steven Pasquale and Eugene Lee.
