The annual festival, celebrating upcoming films and projects, will kick off on September 7, and run until September 17 in the Canadian metropolis.
Like the Venice Film Festival, many stars are not able to attend the festival due to the rules of the WGA and the SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, there are some who have earned interim agreements, which allows certain cast members to attend.
A new report from Deadline reveals many of the stars who are expected to attend the festival, and several more who are not.

Kate Beckinsale gets a bit cheeky on the red carpet for the premiere of The Prisoner’s Daughter during the 2022 Toronto Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on Wednesday (September 14) in Toronto, Ontario.
Here’s a summary of the movie: After 12 years, Max (Cox) is freed from prison. That’s the good news. The bad news is that he has pancreatic cancer and has been given just months to live.
The conditions of Max’s compassionate leave require him to reside with his estranged daughter Maxine (Beckinsale), who accepts only grudgingly. Though she works multiple jobs, Maxine struggles to cover the mortgage on her Las Vegas home and buy epilepsy medication for her son Ezra (Convery).
She gets no help from Ezra’s father, Tyler (Ritter), an unemployed musician and sometimes violent addict.
Upon arrival, Max sets about fixing up the place, calling on old friends for money, and teaching Ezra a thing or two about defending himself against bullies. But after so many years of neglect, is it too late to make amends?
Check out a clip from the movie below!
FYI: Kate wore a Bach Mai dress with Bulgari jewels.

Here’s a summary of her new film from IMDB: “Based on a true story, Wildflower is a coming of age film that follows Bea Johnson (Kiernan) from birth to graduation as she navigates life with two intellectually disabled parents and an extended family who can’t quite agree on the best way to help.”

Brendan Fraser shows off his award after the TIFF Tribute Awards Gala during the 2022 Toronto Film Festival at The Fairmont Royal York Hotel on Sunday night (September 11) in Toronto, Ontario.
The 53-year-old actor was awarded the honor for his role in The Whale, which debuted the same night at the festival.
During a sit down interview with Variety, Brendan weighed in on the recent cancellation of Batgirl, where he was set to portray a villain.
He admits he was “disappointed” by the decision Warner Bros. made.
“The fans really wanted to see this film made. Leslie Grace is a dynamo,” he noted. “The movie was shot and conceived for a smaller screen. In this age that we’ve come out of now between streaming service versus theatrical release, it wound up being the canary in the coal mine.”
Here’s how the directors of Batgirl reacted to the news of the movie being axed.
