Baz Luhrmann has announced that shooting of his next film, the literary giant The Great Gatsby, will take place in Australia. The film will primarily be shot at Fox Studios in Sydney, where both Australia and Moulin Rouge were shot, with further shooting throughout NSW.

The Afflecks will celebrate on the Lido together - both actor-turned-directors are featured in the Out of Competition line-up (see below) and will surely jet back to TIFF together with The Town and the Phoenix doc - though those chances are indeed slim. Speaking of Toronto, the OOC also features Anurag Kashyap's That Girl in Yellow Boots and Andrucha Waddington's Lope (TIFF claims they have the World Premiere, but I think we might see a correction on that later on).
