Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant Added To Toronto Fest Lineup

Here’s the short form release from TIFF:

So, the big additions are that we’ve got A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers, Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore and, in the slightly surprising column, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It. (Which was promoted around Comic Con by squads of rollergirls in costume as the film’s main roller derby team.) While the Herzog, Coen and Moore films aren’t surprises, it’s nice to see them in the lineup.

The Toronto International Film Festival is pleased to announce the addition of two Gala Presentations and eight Special Presentations to the programming lineup for this year’s Festival, running September 10 to 19. Included are works from critically acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen, Werner Herzog, Rebecca Miller, Michael Moore and Oliver Parker, and featuring on-screen performances by Drew Barrymore (in her directorial debut), Jim Broadbent, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Colin Farrell, Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall, Val Kilmer, Christopher Lee, Juliette Lewis, Blake Lively, Eva Mendes, Julianne Moore, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Robin Wright Penn and Keanu Reeves.
