As the 30th Toronto International Film Festival kicked off Thursday, several movies were sold and even more were in play says The Hollywood Reporter.
Fox Searchlight nabbed "Thank You for Smoking" starring Aaron Eckhart as an irascible tobacco lobbyist, Sony Pictures Classics finally clinched a deal for Tommy Lee Jones' film "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada", and First Look Studios has acquired all U.S. rights to Guy Pearce Aussie period drama "The Proposition".
Reaction wise "Brokeback Mountain", "Capote", "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride", "A History of Violence" and "Bubble" have all drawn rave reviews. Deepa Mehta's "Water" and Cameron Crowe's "Elizabethtown" garnered mixed reaction.
Thanks to 'Laurel'.
