While I'm more curious about who'll end up with Todd Solondz's Life During Wartime, Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?, Rick Jacobson's Bitch Slap, Giuseppe Tornatore epic Baaria and the only Cannes title I think that is remaining and is worth buying (Bong Joon-ho's Mother), after scouring the entire program - I came up with a top 10 list of the high profile films should be high priorities for the buyers.

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.

Usually reserved for the bigger films and Oscar buzz titles, the Galas and Special Presentations section in Toronto should be populated with: the long awaited thriller from Richard Kelly (The Box), Julie Taymor's The Tempest starring Helen Mirren and coincidentally it would make sense for her hubby Taylor Hackford to bring Love Ranch for show. Part of the Canadian contingency, Jason Reitman has confirmed it himself that he'll bring Up in the Air and perhaps a spot would be reserved for Jean-Marc Vallee's Berlin preemed The Young Victoria.
