Actress Jennifer Aniston's latest movie, Life of Crime, has closed the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Based on crime writer Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel The Switch, the former Friends star plays a kidnap victim who spends most of the film's running time with a mask over her head.
The two-week festival is a major fixture on the film industry calendar, with a reputation for screening future Oscar winners. Daniel Radcliffe was mobbed by fans (brandishing Harry Potter books) at the premiere of Kill Your Darlings, in which he plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch had the honour of opening the festival with The Fifth Estate, in which he plays Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. "I'm not a betting man, but I reckon he won't particularly want to support the film," he told reporters.
Venezuelan-Spanish production Libertador: The Liberator tells the story of Simon Bolivar, who led the liberation movement for six Latin American nations in the 18th Century. It stars Edgar Ramirez as the military leader and Juana Acosta as one of his great loves.
Jake Gyllenhaal starred in Enemy, about a history professor who sets out to find his exact look-alike after spotting him in a film. The actor plays both himself and his double in the thriller, which was directed by Canadian Oscar nominee Denis Villenueve.
Love Punch also stars former 007 Pierce Brosnan, who plays Thompson's estranged former husband. The film follows the ageing partners-in-crime as they embark on a diamond heist to recover their retirement savings. “The bunions, aches and pains are somewhat real at times," Brosnan quipped.
