So Where’s the Buzz About Sam Worthington and Keira Knightley’s TIFF Drama Last Night?

According an official count just released by the Toronto International Film Festival, this year’s event spawned nearly two dozen U.S. distribution deals for selections including Super , Rabbit Hole , Cave of Forgotten Dreams , The Conspirator and Beautiful Boy — with more to come in the days and weeks ahead.

An interview with Martin Landau really shouldn’t be called that — more than just a simple Q&A, it’s as though you’re sitting in on an Actor’s Studio session taught by the 82-year-old actor. Though my talk with Landau this week was pegged to the release of Lovely, Still , a new indie film where he finds late-in-life romance with Ellen Burstyn, it took no time before he began discussing the very nature of acting itself using some of his most famous roles as examples — including his Oscar-winning turn as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood and his characters in Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest and Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors .
