2010 TIFF Bound: David Schwimmer’s ‘Trust’

Date:

One more slip, one more TIFF title revealed. Looks like David Schwimmer is headed to the Toronto red carpets again. Schwimmer first got the taste for directing feature films with the miserably off-kilter romp Run, Fat Boy, Run (which still managed to make Picturehouse a 6 million return) has switched up gears with a tale that tells the damaging effects an online sexual predator has on a family. Trust sees Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play the parents of a 14-year-old girl who are stunned to discover she has been victimized by an adult who gained her trust posing as a teenager on a chat room. Oscar nom Viola Davis also stars in the picture.

Millennium Films – which is a good supplier of world preems for TIFF, are going into the festival looking for someone to pick up the rights and if the performances are better than par, they could fetch numbers north of what the company got for last year’s Leaves of Grass and Solitary Man.
