This year’s Toronto International Film Festival was one for the books and it introduced us to many of the year’s most anticipated films. American Fiction created more buzz than any other movie at TIFF and it walked away with the festival’s People’s Choice Award.

American Fiction stars Jeffrey Wright as author and English literature professor Thelonious “Monk” Ellison. Frustrated by the stereotypical representation of the Black community in modern literature, he decides to write a satirical novel that embraces every stereotype in the book—and he’s shocked to see it become a surprise bestseller.

In addition to Wright, the film’s star-studded cast also includes Tracee Ellis Ross, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Sterling K. Brown, Myra Lucretia Taylor, John Ortiz, Issa Rae, and Adam Brody.

American Fiction draws inspiration from Percival Everett’s novel Erasure, which was adapted to the big screen by Cord Jefferson in his feature directorial debut. He thanked everyone who watched his movie in Toronto and helped it win the festival’s People’s Choice Award.

American Fiction was followed by Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers and Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, selected as the first and second runners-up for the People’s Choice Award.

The Batman is one of the most anticipated superhero flicks in recent memory, and we finally got a glimpse of this promising project. The first teaser premiered during a recent DC Fandome panel, and it shows Robert Pattinson transforming into the Dark Knight.

The new teaser only shows bits and pieces of the new movie, which is nowhere near being finished, but that’s just enough for loyal fans. This short clip didn’t reveal much of a plotline, but it gave us a chance to see Pattinson’s gritty take on the role, set to the beat of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way.”

The director Matt Reeves revealed that they only shot 25% of the movie so far, and revealed how this project stands out when compared to other movies about the beloved superhero.

“It’s not an origins tale, but you’re meeting him in the early days. A lot of the other stories showed he had to master his fear and himself, to become Batman, we met in the middle of this criminological experiment and watch him make mistakes,” said Reeves at the DC Fandome panel.

The Batman is scheduled to premiere on October 1st, 2020 and it will also star Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, and Andy Serkis.
