Actress Jennifer Aniston's latest movie, Life of Crime, has closed the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Based on crime writer Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel The Switch, the former Friends star plays a kidnap victim who spends most of the film's running time with a mask over her head.
Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch had the honour of opening the festival with The Fifth Estate, in which he plays Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. "I'm not a betting man, but I reckon he won't particularly want to support the film," he told reporters.
Venezuelan-Spanish
production Libertador: The Liberator tells the story of Simon Bolivar,
who led the liberation movement for six Latin American nations in the
18th Century. It stars Edgar Ramirez as the military leader and Juana
Acosta as one of his great loves.
Nicole Kidman was present for the premiere of The Railway
Man, in which she plays the wife of a British soldier (Colin Firth) traumatized
by his experiences as a prisoner of war during WWII. Based on the memoirs of
Eric Lomax, the film was written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, fresh from the
opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
