VIP Access goes to Toronto International Film Festival 07

In two days I will be heading north to the wonderful city of Toronto to attend this years Toronto International Film Festival. Considered to be the biggest film festival in North America, 'TIFF' is also the launching pad for many of the prestige films that hope to claim prizes during the year end award season.

With 349 movies from 55 different countries and 10 days to sort through, I will try my darndest to not only cover the festival, interview as many celebs as possible, but also give you the buzz on which movies you should be keeping an eye out for. Sleep will not be part of my vocab!

Though the festival hasn't even started yet, pre-talk among the press includes movies by Crash director Paul Haggis ("In The Valley Of Elah"), Sean Penn's "Into The Wild" and Canadian cult filmmaker David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises".

World premieres also include the sequel to Cate Blanchett's Oscar nominated performance as Queen Elizabeth, Reece Witherspoon in the political drama "Rendition" and a musical re-interpreting the songs of The Beatles called "Across The Universe".

Just remember to keep coming back, cause I'll be posting daily interviews with the organizers, meet some movie fans and who knows what else.

Also, if you're curious about some of the movies I'll be seeing, why not check out some of the trailers at the festival site here.  

Like I said, it's going to be a busy 10 days for me!
