Canadian distributor Elevation Pictures is pleased to be a part of the premiere lineup, announced today at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) press conference. Elevation Pictures’ films include the Canadian premiere of The Imitation Game and the world premiere of Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom, a driven young man who discovers the nocturnal world of L.A. crime journalism. Joining a group of freelance camera crews who film marketable mayhem, Lou makes his own place at the table, aided by Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news. Blurring the line between observer and perpetrator, Lou finds his calling in a murderous world reduced to transactions. The film also stars Rene Russo and Bill Paxton and will be distributed by Open Road in the U.S.
The film will make its world premiere as a Special Presentation at the Elgin Theatre on September 5 at 9:30 P.M.
“We’re really excited to have these films premiere at TIFF. The Imitation Game is a thrilling dramatic story with deep heart, that is sure to resonate with both critics and audiences,” said Laurie May and Noah Segal, co-presidents of Elevation Pictures. “Nightcrawler will keep audiences on the edge of their seats and thoroughly entertained by the stellar performances from the cast.”
