It looks like the Toronto International Film Festival is bringing out the stars for its opening and closing films. The Chris Pine epic 'Outlaw King' is expected to open the prestigious event, while Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart headline 'Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy,' which will close out the festival.

"With 'Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy,' Justin Kelly brings to the screen a truly unbelievable story that captivated a nation," said Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of TIFF. "The storytelling is powerful and the characters are vivid, really evoking the idea that you have to see it to believe it."
"I am beyond honored that my film 'Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy' will premiere at TIFF as the Closing Night Film," said Kelly. "I can't wait for people to see the fascinating true story behind JT LeRoy, brought to life via incredible performances by a total dream cast."
First off, let me say that I love the new title of this film. It's definitely more captivating than just calling it JT LeRoy, plus that middle name makes me laugh.
Looking forward to hearing more about it during TIFF, which opens September 6th. Oh yeah, there's more info about the film in the article than what I quoted, as well as a cool pic of Laura and Kristen, so click away on the link above.
