The hardest-working stars at TIFF 2014
Monday September 08th 2014One juicy starring role per year is just not enough for some A-listers. After all, luxury beach houses don’t pay for themselves. At this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, a huge variety of major players — many of them already familiar to fest-goers — are pulling double and sometimes triple duty in new projects. Now the challenge for viewers is keeping all their efforts apart.
ACTORS IN THREE TIFF TITLES (A.K.A. THE WORKAHOLICS)
Chloë Grace Moretz
Can be seen in:Clouds of Sils Maria, Laggies, The Equalizer
Notable past TIFF appearances:Let Me In (2010), Hick (2011)
How to tell the new movies apart: One’s a French arthouse drama, another is an American indie and the last features Denzel Washington as a vengeful commando — easy, right?
Anna Kendrick
Can be seen in:The Last Five Years, Cake, The Voices
Notable past TIFF appearances:Up in the Air (2009), 50/50 (2011), End of Watch (2012)
How to tell the new movies apart: The one that stars Jennifer Aniston as a chronic-pain sufferer obsessed with another woman’s suicide does not feature any songs from a Tony Award-winning musical.
Adam Sandler
Can be seen in:Men, Women and Children, The Cobbler, Top Five
Notable past TIFF appearances:Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
How to tell the new movies apart: The earnest drama about the evils of the internet has nothing to do with magic shoes.
ACTORS IN TWO TIFF TITLES (A.K.A. TOO BUSY TO TALK TO YOU)
Reese Witherspoon
Can be seen in: Wild, The Good Lie
Notable past TIFF appearances:S.F.W. (1994), Walk the Line (2005), The Devil’s Knot (2013)
How to tell the new movies apart: Though both are inspirational based-on-true-life dramas directed by French-Canadians, only one requires her to use a sleeping bag.
Mia Wasikowska
Can be seen in:Maps to the Stars, Madame Bovary
Notable past TIFF appearances:Only Lovers Left Alive, Tracks and The Double (all 2013)
How to tell the new movies apart: The David Cronenberg one is not based on a literary classic by Gustav Flaubert.
Julianne Moore
Can be seen in:Maps to the Stars, Still Alice
Notable past TIFF appearances:Boogie Nights (1997), Far From Heaven (2002), A Single Man (2009)
How to tell the new movies apart: She’s only won a best-actress prize for one of them . . . so far.
Al Pacino
Can be seen in:The Humbling and Manglehorn
Notable past TIFF appearances:Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Chinese Coffee (2000)
How to tell the new movies apart: He probably does less yelling in the one where he’s wearing glasses.
Mark Ruffalo
Can be seen in:Foxcatcher, Infinitely Polar Bear
Notable past TIFF appearances:Ride With the Devil (1999), You Can Count on Me (2000), Blindness (2008)
How to tell the new movies apart: He’s a wrestler in only one of the two — unfortunately, at no point is he required to wrestle a polar bear.
Other actors going two-for-two at TIFF include Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game and Laggies), Matthias Schoenaraerts (The Drop and A Little Chaos), Patricia Clarkson (Learning to Drive and October Gale), Kristen Stewart (Clouds of Sils Maria and Still Alive) and Dustin Hoffman (Boychoir and The Cobbler).
