David Auburn’s The Girl in the Park Set for Toronto Film Festival

The Girl in the Park, a new movie written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Auburn, will be seen at the Toronto Film Festival, which takes place September 6-15.

This new drama, by the author of Proof, stars Sigourney Weaver as a woman who believes that a young woman, played by Kate Bosworth, is actually her daughter — who disappeared 15 years earlier. The cast also includes Alessandro Nivola, David Rasche, Elias Koteas, and Keri Russell.

Five other films have been announced for the Festival: the family drama Then She Found Me, directed by and starring Helen Hunt, and co-starring Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick, and Colin Firth; John Sayles’ Honeydripper, starring Danny Glover as a juke joint owner who recruits a young guitarist to save his club; Joel and Ethan Coen’s acclaimed crime drama, No Country for Old Men, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, and Woody Harrelson; Craig Gillespie’s offbeat romance, Lars and the Real Girl, starring Ryan Gosling, Patricia Clarkson, Kelli Garner, and Emily Mortimer; and Richard Roxburgh’s Australian drama Romulus, My Father with Eric Bana and Franka Potente.
