Canadian director Atom Egoyan is bringing his latest movie, Seven Veils, to the Toronto Film Festival for a world premiere, with Amanda Seyfried in the lead role as a tortured opera director.
Seyfried reteamed with her Chloe director Egoyan for the opera-themed drama where she plays Jeanine, a theatre director remounting her former mentor’s most famous work, an adaptation of the opera Salome from composer Richard Strauss, based on the play by Oscar Wilde. As Jeanine reenters the opera world after years away, she is haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past as her repressed trauma colors the present.
Rebecca Liddiard, Douglas Smith, Mark O’Brien and Vinessa Antoine also star in Seven Veils, which was shot in and around Toronto earlier this year. Should the ongoing strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA continue into the fall, American actors will be barred from publicizing any big-ticket studio movies...

The Toronto International Film Festival has set the world premiere for a new film from one of Canada’s own, director Atom Egoyan.
Egoyan helms “Seven Veils,” which stars his “Chloe” actress Amanda Seyfried. The thriller will debut with a special screening, in partnership with the Canadian Opera Company, at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on September 8 before premiering in earnest as part of the festival’s Special Presentation lineup on September 10.
Egoyan’s films have long played at his home festival, so the film’s inclusion is no surprise. And its announcement arrives as TIFF may have to get creative about world premieres amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike that forbids union actors from promoting their work. That means less starry world premieres, and filmmakers instead doing the heavy lifting at conferences and on press lines. TIFF did not reveal in the “Seven Veils” announcement what talent...

Update, Friday: Geraldo Rivera continued his criticisms of former colleagues at Fox News and at the network itself in an appearance later on Thursday on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show.
“Fox left me. They fired me from the number one rated show The Five. After they fired me, I said, ‘Well, wait a second. You know, I don’t want to work here anymore.’ If you are firing me from the number one show, what are you going to do?”
Rivera said that they gave him a “plethora of options,” including a series on the candidates for president, “and they said you could finish that up on Fox Nation to do that.” He declined.
Rivera said that he had a “toxic relationship” with one of The Five regulars, and although he didn’t identify him, he had previously clashed with Greg Gutfeld.
On Twitter and in press interviews, Rivera criticized...

Geraldo Rivera is opening up about his recent departure from Fox News and how a “toxic relationship” with another host on The Five played a role in his firing.
Last month, it was announced that Rivera would be leaving the afternoon panel show. But the following week, he took to Twitter to reveal that he actually quit his job at Fox News after being “fired” from The Five.
During Thursday’s appearance on The View, Rivera didn’t identify who he “had a toxic relationship” with, but when asked if he felt that it was unfair that personal issues with a colleague on the show led to his exit, he responded, “Sure.”
“I also thought it was very unfair that I was not judged objectively in our disputes, but rather that he was always favored,” he explained. “I was the one…suspended three times. My appearances, I had two, three appearances scheduled weekly,...
