More TIFF '08: Guy Ritchie's 'Rock N' Rolla' And Bill Maher's 'Religulous' And More Added To Line-Up

We’re two for three on our Toronto International Film Fest scoops (congratufuckinlations?). We’d from heard from good sources that Spike Lee’s “Miracle At St. Anna,” and Guy Ritchie’s “RocknRolla” would be at TIFF ’08 and today, and now both have been confirmed (Lee’s flick was announced last week). Ritchie’s latest crime caper (as that is seemingly all he is wont to do) comes on the heels of his Sherlock Holmes casting news. Now if our Michel Gondry’s “Tokyo!” (with Leos Carax and Bong Joon-Ho) scoop pans out, we’re golden!)

A bunch of new additions were announced today, including Bill Maher and Larry Charles’ documentary about dumbasses stupid enough to belive in Santa Claus Jesus, “Religulous,” Wong Kar-Wai’s “Ashes of Time Redux,” Mike Leigh’s “Happy-Go-Lucky,” “Waltz with Bashir,” which was actually already announced, Ricky Gervais’ “Ghost Town,” one of Paramount Vantage’s last films, “The Duchess” starring Keira Knightley, the tea cup drama “Secret Life of Bees” with Queen Latifah and that little gimp Dakota Fanning (girl, you’re like a year or two away from teen ugly face, better get used to it).

Previously announced films at TIFF include, the indie-rock romance comedy adventure, “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” with Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, Laurent Cantet‘s Palme d’Or-winning “The Class,” Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles’ “Linha de Passe,” Ari Folman’s “Waltz With Bashir,” Kim Jee-woon’s Sergio Leone-like Western “The Good the Bad the Weird” and Canadian actor Paul Gross’ sure-t0-be budget WWI film “Passchendaele” (the trailer is so bad).
