World premieres of John Wells‘ “August: Osage County,” Jason Reitman‘s “Labor Day,” Matthew Weiner’s “You Are Here” and Steve McQueen‘s “12 Years a Slave” will highlight the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF organizers announced on Tuesday morning.
The festival will kick off with Bill Condon‘s WikiLeaks movie “The Fifth Estate,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange, and close with Daniel Schecter’s Elmore Leonard adaptation “Life of Crime.”
For Reitman, the booking of “Labor Day” (left) means a return to the festival where he premiered all of his movies until 2011’s “Young Adult,” and to the city where a square outside festival headquarters is named after his family.
