TORONTO — Actor Jake Gyllenhaal will be in Toronto on Sunday with Quebec director Denis Villeneuve to attend the Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival.
The 33-year-old star will walk the red carpet with Villeneuve at the TIFF Bell Lightbox on King Street before sitting down for a conversation with festival artistic director Cameron Bailey at 3:30 p.m.
Gyllenhaal and Villeneuve will talk about Enemy, a Canadian independent film they made in Toronto in 2012.
In it, Gyllenhaal plays a man who searches for his lookalike after seeing him in a movie.
Enemy had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and is scheduled to open in theatres on March 14. It will also have a special screening at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 9 as part of its Spotlight on Canada Cinema program.
Gyllenhaal has made several movies in Canada in addition to Enemy. He shot 2011’s Source Code and 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow in Montreal and 2005’s Brokeback Mountain in Alberta.
He and Villeneuve also worked together on the thriller Prisoners, which is generating strong Oscar buzz.
