The latest batch of announcements also includes world premieres for the new film from director Ben Wheatley and adocumentary about Amanda Knox.
In Colossal, directed by Nacho Vigalondo, Hathaway stars as a woman who leaves her job and boyfriend in New York and discovers a psychic connection to a giant creature destroying South Korea. The offbeat drama has already courted controversy after Japanese company Toho launched a lawsuit alleging similarities with Godzilla. A settlement was reached last October.
Toronto will also see the first screening of Free Fire, a 1970s-set thriller from Wheatley, whose film High Rise received its world premiere at last year’s festival. The film stars Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy and Armie Hammer and focuses on an arms deal that has gone wrong. It will kick off the Midnight Madness strand.
