Yesterday, Toni Collette has attended the Toronto International Film Festival for the world-premiere of “Lucky Them”. A rock journalist (Toni Collette) is given the impossible assignment to hunt down a long-unseen revered local musician, and is joined on the road by a music-hating, aspiring documentarian (Thomas Haden Church), in director Megan Griffith’s comedy. Pictures from the premiere and its after-party have been added to the gallery.


Here’s more information on “Lucky Them” by the Toronto Film Festival’s website: Lucky Them introduces us to Ellie Klug (Toni Collette), a veteran journalist for a music publication. Talented but hapless, appealing and irritating in equal measure, Ellie is immobilized by unaddressed issues from her past that have returned for an unexpected encore. Ellie is called up one day by her intrepid editor Giles (Oliver Platt), a man badly in need of an attention-grabbing cover story. He asks Ellie to investigate the ten-year-old disappearance of a revered local musician – who also happened to be Ellie’s long-time boyfriend at the time he went missing. Having not produced anything of note lately, and knowing her job is on the line, Ellie reluctantly agrees to take the assignment, even as her erratic, booze-soaked relationships with younger musicians continue to clutter her life. She convinces herself there will be no need to unlock her own crippling emotional baggage around her lover’s departure and her sense of having been abandoned. For the road trip, she grudgingly accepts the companionship of music-hating, aspiring documentarian Charlie (Thomas Haden Church), whose confusion regarding matters of the heart is only matched by his inept filmmaking.

Lucky Them is about how we mythologize those we love – especially those we have lost – and how this skewed idolatry impedes anything new and hopeful. The semiautobiographical nature of co-screenwriter Emily Wachtel’s story undoubtedly gives the film its emotional edge, and, combined with Griffiths’s crisp direction and her cast’s sharply observant performances, the result is nothing less than one of the most enjoyable films of the year. There’ll be no rest for Toni, as her second Toronto premiere will be today with Nicole Holofcener’s “Enough Said”.

The theatrical trailer for “Enough Said”, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini, Catherine Keener, Ben Falcone and Toni Collette, has been launched by 20th Century Fox. The romantic comedy, which is unfortunately one of Mr. Gandolfini’s last films, will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next month. You can watch the trailer in the video archive.

The film centers on a divorced, single mother and masseuse Eva (Louis-Dreyfus) who starts up a romance with Albert (Gandolfini). Things get complicated when Eva realizes Albert is the ex of her new client (played by Holofcener muse Catherine Keener), who plies Eva with all the nitpicky and more substantial problems she and Albert had during their marriage. Look out for this spot-on quote: Getting an ex-wife to spill the beans on one’s new boyfriend is “like a human Trip Advisor.” HD screencaptures from the trailer can be found in the gallery.

James Gandolfini’s legacy lives on. On Thursday, July 25 — a little over a month after the star’s sudden death of a heart attack at the age of 51 — Fox Searchlight Pictures revealed a release date and movie poster for Enough Said, the second-to-last film Gandolfini shot before his untimely passing. Set to open in select theaters on Sept. 20, 2013, the movie finds the late Sopranos actor playing a love interest for Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Catherine Keener, Toni Collette, and Ben Falcone also star.

“He played a divorced dad who doted on his daughter and was crazy about Julia’s character,” writer/director Nicole Holofcener told the Hollywood Reporter after Gandolfini’s death on June 19. “He didn’t believe he could play a romantic lead, even though everyone on the set thought he was sexy and hilarious. He was charming and self-effacing and incredibly talented. Not only did he pull off playing a leading man, his performance is subtle and moving and very, very lovely.”

Indeed, costar Collette told Cinema Blend recently that the actor’s work in Enough Said may be his most revealing ever. “I’m so excited for his fans to be able to see him in Enough Said, because he’s a total teddy bear in it. He’s the leading man,” she gushed. “He’s sought after, loved, talked about, and I just feel so lucky to have gotten to work with him.” “He was the real deal,” she continued. “He actually had a twinkle in his eye. He was cheeky and wonderful. I can’t believe how young [he was]. I mean, 51? It’s just too sad.” Enough Said will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Prior to his death, Gandolfini also filmed the movie Animal Rescue. No release date has been set for that project.
