Audiences can also expect the world premiere of titles like 'Dicks: The Musical'.
The Big Picture This year’s Toronto International Film Festival is set to pack a punch with Hayao Miyazaki’s final film, The Boy and the Heron, kicking off the festival on a vibrant note while other highly-anticipated titles including the Nicolas Cage-led Dream Scenario will celebrate their world debuts. While these films and others may be causing a lot of buzz at the event, it’s the yearly Midnight Madness lineup that audiences have really been waiting to find out more about.
Returning for the second year to its dazzling new home at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Midnight Madness features a handful of thrilling features and one very special musical, the Larry Charles-helmed Dicks: The Musical, which will be celebrating its world premiere.
In a statement released alongside the fan-favorite event’s line-up, Peter Kuplowsky, TIFF International Programmer, promised viewers that “sides will be split - both figuratively and literally ” as many of the features make their way into a cinematic setting for the first time. He goes on to add that through NAGA and Working Class Goes to Hell, both Saudi Arabia and Serbia will respectively be making their festival debuts.
A History of Midnight Madness Considered to be the place for underground and aspiring cult films, Midnight Madness has long been the jumping-off point for some of the most beloved movies in the history of cinema. Last year saw titles like The Blackening, Sisu, and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story celebrate their world premieres while Pearl first slashed onto screens in North America.
Check out a trailer for Dicks: The Musical below and stay tuned to find out what film takes home the coveted Midnight Madness People’s Choice Award.
