Prepare your best maple syrup and Beavertails, Canada, because Steven Spielberg is crashing this year’s Toronto Film Festival. Reports indicate Spielberg is premiering his semi-autobiographical movie, The Fabelmans, at TIFF. The story of The Fabelmans is based on Spielberg’s family and upbringing. TIFF runs from September 8-18.
This appearance marks Spielberg’s first-ever TIFF event, where he’ll present a film. An exact date for The Fabelmans premiere has yet to be scheduled, but it’s ahead of the film’s platform release on November 11. It will open in theaters on November 23.
The Fabelmans, set in post-war Arizona, centers on a young man’s discovery of a shattering family secret and an exploration of the power of movies to help us see the truth about each other and ourselves. Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Gabriel LaBelle, Seth Rogen, Jeannie Berlin, Julia Butters, Robin Bartlett, Keeley Karsten, and Judd Hirsch star in the pic written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner. The film also stars David Lynch, Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord, Birdie Borria, Alina Brace, Sophia Kopera, Oakes Fegley, Sam Rechner, Chloe East, Jonathan Hadary, and Isabelle Kusman.
Other films premiering at the 47th Toronto Film Festival include Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Billy Eichner’s Bros, Clement Virgo’s Brother, and Sanaa Latham’s On the Come Up.
