And here we have it - the top twenty acquisition titles that will be made available at the 2010 Toronto Int. Film Festival --- and that's only from the titles that are actually being shown. Looking at the list below, there is a little something for everyone: feel good films, offbeat comedies, specialty genre items, fact based thrillers and then probable award mention stuff that take up the top four spots.

Now that all bets are off on Terrence Malick showing up on the Lido, and Wong Kar-wai's The Grand Master appears to be on the same no-show list (the fest have announced that Andrew Lau's The Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen has their second opening night flick celebrating the anniversary of Bruce Lee’s 70th birthday).

I don't think the title of head programmer for any festival is an easy job, but I'd argue that Marco Müller has it "easy" this year. With so many of the world's best auteurs having not been ready to deliver at the Cannes deadline, the 67th edition of the Venice Film Festival (which will run 1st to 11th September 2010) is going to be loaded in premium titles. With many items having already been mentioned and speculated on before, here is an updated predictions list with a good helping of new names.

Among those they have tapped for the fest they have a premium Midnight Screening for Gilles Marchand's Black Heaven and they are closing the festival with Julie Bertuccelli's The Tree.

It's official folks, Evan Rachel Wood and Guy Pearce are boarding Todd Haynes' Mildred Pierce miniseries, Production Weekly reports that they'll be filming for a seven-eight week shoot out of Killer Films' backyard of New York, between April 12th to June 1st.
