It was announced today that Jean-Marc Vallée’s Demolition, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper, will open the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival with a world premiere on September 10 at Roy Thomson Hall.
"Over the years the Festival has been proud to present Jean-Marc Vallée's feature films including Black List, C.R.A.Z.Y., Café de Flore, The Young Victoria, Dallas Buyers Club and Wild," said Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF. "Vallée is a proud Canadian with a distinct and powerful filmmaking voice and we can’t wait to share his latest film with Festival audiences on Opening Night."
“I can't think of a better place to introduce Demolition to the world than at home. That's how I feel about TIFF,” said Vallée. “You make me feel at home, and I am grateful and honoured to have my film as the opener for the Festival's 40th anniversary."
Demolition is about a successful investment banker, Davis (Gyllenhaal), who begins to unravel after his wife is killed in a tragic car crash. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions. Davis’ letters catch the attention of customer service rep Karen (Watts) and, amidst emotional and financial burdens of her own, the two strangers form an unlikely connection. With the help of Karen and her son, Davis starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew.
The 40th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 10 to 20, 2015.
