An indication that Atom Egoyan's Chloe will most definitely find a competition slot in Venice, TIFF has uncharacteristically went with a foreign English language title as the film festival's opening night selection. The spot usually reserved for a Canadian film went to Jon Amiel's unsold Creation which will have its world premiere on the 10th of September.
Besides finding out that Michael Haneke's next will be presented in b&w, Variety's article of the titles that we should see announced in one week's time is a basic re-dotting of the i's and recrossing of the t's. The only speculation worth mentioning comes in the shape of the special screening and/or midnight slot status which may include Werner Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" and Sam Raimi's "Drag Me to Hell".
