As the Ron Howard-directed “Eden” made its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, a medical emergency interrupted the screening. The film was stopped to allow for someone to be carried out from the front section of the Roy Thomson Hall venue, near the stage.
Howard was in attendance and introduced the movie, alongside members of the cast, including Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl, Ana de Armas and Jude Law.
The announcer said simply, “We are dealing with a medical emergency,” but without disclosing what had happened. The film was restarted shortly afterward.
The film’s stars play a group of Europeans who put down stakes on a previously uninhabited Galápagos island in the 1930s as part of a quest to reshape and restart society as the world approaches war.
