There were two big surprises in this morning’s unveiling of the additions to the TIFF lineup, so let’s take a quick look at both of them.
While he won’t be making any more “Louie” anytime soon (or ever), Louis C.K. has knocked out a feature film with “I Love You, Daddy.” Shot on 35mm and presented in black-and-white, the film stars Chloe Grace Moretz, Charlie Day, John Malkovich, Edie Falco and Pamela Adlon and follows Glen Topher, played by Louis C.K., a successful television producer and writer, and his daughter China (played by Moretz).’
Next up is “Unicorn Store,” the directorial debut of Brie Larson. The comedy finds Larson in front of the camera too, along with Samuel L. Jackson and Joan Cusack, in the story about a woman who moves back in with her parents, but gets invited to the titular store where she learns what it means to grow up.
Both films will be making their World Premiere at TIFF, which runs from September 7-17.
