Molly’s Game and Downsizing screenings at TIFF 2017

We all remember when Jessica Chastain and the film crew of Molly’s Game visited South Bayview over the winter of 2016/2017. Molly’s Game, directed by Aaron Sorkin, was filmed in numerous locations throughout our great city.  Many Torontonians are excited to learn that the world premiere of the film will be at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) this year.

TIFF will also feature a special presentation and Canadian Premiere of Downsizing, starring Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig. Matt, Kristen and crew were spotted in Leaside last summer filming some scenes from this film.

MOLLY’S GAME: Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut stars Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba in the true story of Molly Bloom, proprietor of Hollywood’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being shut down by the FBI.

DOWNSIZING: Matt Damon headlines a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Laura Dern, Jason Sudeikis, Alec Baldwin, and Neil Patrick Harris in Alexander Payne’s sci-fi social satire about a man who chooses to shrink himself (literally) to simplify his life.

See you on the red carpet!
