TORONTO – Looper, a movie starring A-list stars such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, and Jeff Daniels, has been chosen to open the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
TIFF, one of the world’s major film festivals, takes over the streets of Toronto every year with celebrities, and celebrity-watchers crowding restaurants, and theatres taking part in the festival.
Much like the festival and the streets of Toronto, news about TIFF 2012 took over the city’s social media on Monday morning.
#TIFF12
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced it’s opening lineup on Monday morning, and as the festival does with the streets of Toronto, #TIFF12 quickly took over social media in Canada’s largest city.

Tickets are hard to come by for many people, but that does not stop many film-buffs from trying to get tickets as soon as they can.
