Jason Reitman will direct a live read of “The Princess Bride” at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The four-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind “Juno,” “Up in the Air” and “Thank You for Smoking” took to Twitter to make the announcement.

“In 1987, ‘Princess Bride’ won Toronto Film Festival. On Sep 12th, we’re going to pay tribute to that perfect script,” he wrote after teasing the news with one of the most memorable quotes from the Rob Reiner-directed comedy.

No word yet on which actors Reitman will recruit for the event.
