Lineup for the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival

The lineup for the 2012 (technically 37th) Toronto International Film Festival was announced an hour earlier and let me just say, it looks to be even better than last year. We have another non-Canadian film kicking off the festival, however this one has been on my must-see list for a while now: Rian Johnson's Looper. It's being listed as a world premiere, among many others that include The Wachowski and Tom Tykwer's Cloud Atlas (which we have yet to see a trailer for even though Warner Bros. slated it for an October 26th release), David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook, Stuart Blumberg's Thanks for Sharing, Ben Affleck's Argo, Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha, David Ayer's found-footage like cop thriller End of Watch, Deepa Mehta's Midnight's Children, Sally Potter's Ginger and Rosa, Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond The Pines (speaking of that, I should really watch Blue Valentine) and Joss Whedon's adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Other films making their International/North American premieres (which means they'll probably be at Venice first) include Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, Robert Redford`s The Company You Keep and one that was surprising to me, Terrence Malick`s To The Wonder. Films that came from Cannes include Rust and Bone, The Sapphires, Reality and The Hunt, films I`ve heard good things about.

You can see the full list of films below. The 37th annual Toronto Internation Film Festival runs from September 6th to the 16th.
