Brad Pitt Heads to Toronto Film Festival
Dressed in his fave newsboy hat and aviator shades earlier this weekend, Brad Pitt walks the streets of Yorkville, one of the more affluent neighborhoods of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Mr. Pitt is expected to drop by the Toronto International Film Festival to promote his latest role as America’s most notorious outlaw in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Bigger Brad pic below and inside are 40+ movie stills from Jesse James. Some are new, some are old, all are to be enjoyed —

nice that Brad is going to Toronto wish Angie would go with him.

So what he went alone. He did last year.

SO WHAT? WHAT?
Brad has to give interviews, and attend the press comference and photocall. Just like he did in the last two festivals. I’ll wait until the Red Carpet to be sure.
where is the moron who was calling liars at those posters in the morning that said that saw brad alone with his publicist and bodyguard in toronto (exactly like is in this pic) now?
I still hope Angie is with him. but if she is not, probably she is taking care of Mad, Mad just starts school. Will wait for next time.
THIS IS FROM THE OTHER THREAD!
Brad in toronto baby! : 09/08/2007 at 9:12 am
I’m not a paparazzi. I saw him when he arrived at the hotel, he was with his publicist and a bodyguard. But since you’re saying that he is in Toronto with his family, why don’t you give us a link ?
I hope Angie and kids stayed in New York. They need to rest, especially the kiddos. :-)
He will probably only be in Toronto for the weekend..be home in time to take Madd to school Monday morning. No need to take the kids. It’s only three hours away and thre’s lots for them to do in New York.

Sorry hon, that ain’t fresh scrubbed, that is plastic surgery.
He looks less like “Brad Pitt” than the wax statue at Tussaud’s. Guess Jolie sent him to her nose guy.
Good.
I think, and I am not alone, thaat Angie is too good TO him and FOR
him.
When you are too good, people tend to use you.

The person who wants sorry, get your apology and let there be peace. Sorry!!!

but still you don`t know he is there alone.because he is going for press conference so he normally shouldn`t take Angie with himself.wait until the RC and then start to laughing.

Thanks for the new thread Just Jared. I hope the film does well at the festival. Papa Pitt is looking mighty fine. He loves that hat. Best wishes to BAMPZS and Peace to all.
Awsome….he looks hot as always does anyone know if angie and the kids are there?
Thanks for the stills from the film Just Jared. I am looking forward to seeing it.
And so what if he is alone? Just because she is not with him in that spesific picture dosen’t mean anything. The premiere is in eight hours.
I’m saying though…it is quite possible AJ will be with him on the red carpet this evening. Time will tell :)

Men have always hated Brad. He is the chick magnet.
#25 I think you need surgery yourself. How about a lobotomy to help your over enlarge nose?

Me, and I am sure all the regulars will agree, want to the truth. So if some random A-hole pops with something and they can’t prove it then they are a liar to me.
Brad looks really good in white. I can not wait to see this film.

hahahahahahhahaha
Why are we surprised at the haters taking this opportunity to look for trouble? They are so desparate these days. Reality check. Brad and Angie are a family. No they cannot be everywhere together because of the children. That is married life. Toronto is not that far away. He will be back to NY and the family on Monday. He loves Angie and the kids. So haters give it your best shot you cannot change reality no matter how hard you try. Move on JenA has. Maybe she needs to get you all some counseling. Love the Jolie-Pitts.

LOL plastic surgery. Do you know how black and blue you are after having plastic surgery on the face. Sunglasses can’t hide it.
You don’t know what plastic surgery is. Maybe you mean botox or chemical peel. If you are going to insult at least know what you are talking about.
The envelope please … Venice film festival to crown winners
11 hours ago
VENICE, Italy (AFP) — A jury made up entirely of film directors was set Saturday to crown the winners of the 64th Venice film festival, with 23 movies in the running for the coveted Golden Lion.
The festival, which marked its 75th anniversary this year, had a bumper crop of nine English-language films, including Hollywood vehicles for George Clooney (”Michael Clayton”) and Brad Pitt (”The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”).
But the French film “La Graine et le Mulet” (Grain of Life) by Tunisian-born director Abdellatif Kechiche was out in front in the estimation of Italian critics, while Tom Hayne’s kaleidoscopic biopic of Bob Dylan, “I’m Not There,” has also been well received.
Also in the running for best film is the hard-hitting US dramatisation “Redacted” by Brian De Palma of the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl by US soldiers.
Already on Friday, “Redacted” won the Future Film Festival Digital Award, attributed to the film that makes the best use of animation or visual effects.
“Grain of Life” is a detailed portrait of the life of a Tunisian immigrant family in France, centred on a grandfather’s dream of opening a couscous restaurant on a boat.
Australian actress Cate Blanchett, whose character most closely resembles Dylan at the height of his stardom, and Britain’s Kierston Wareing, who plays a gritty single mother-***-entrepreneur in Ken Loach’s “It’s a Free World,” are being mooted as candidates for best actress.
France’s Hafsia Herzi in “Grain of Life” and Tang Wei of China, who stars in Ang Lee’s erotic spy thriller “Lust, Caution,” are also in with a chance.
As for the men, both Michael Caine and Jude Law turned in prizeworthy performances in Kenneth Branagh’s “Sleuth.”
The Venice jury is headed by China’s Zhang Yimou and includes Jane Campion of New Zealand, Italy’s Roberto Perpignani and the American Frederick Wiseman.
Also Saturday, Italian cinema legend Bernardo Bertolucci will receive a special 75th anniversary Golden Lion.
“His movies are at once a declaration of love for the cinema and a manifesto of future utopias, the ones which will be reborn from those of the past,” festival director Marco Mueller said of Bertolucci, 67.
Meanwhile, the festival’s first ***** Golden Lion for a film with a gay or trans-gender theme was awarded Friday to the out-of-competition film “Speed of Life” by Ed Radtke, while “Sleuth” won a special mention in the category.
“Speed of Life” is about a down-and-out New York youth who steals videocameras with revealing home videos, and “Sleuth” briefly presents Caine and Law in a dare-driven homoerotic situation.
Friday also saw a documentary portrait by Jonathan Demme of former US president Jimmy Carter tracking his book tour for “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid,” which unleashed a storm of controversy in the United States.
On Friday, Italian schoolchildren awarded the Golden Lion Cub to quirky US director Wes Anderson’s comedy “The Darjeeling Limited,” a voyage of self-discovery for a trio of brothers in India.
They cited the film for “facing complex themes such as family relations with originality, lightness and irony.” The students at Venice’s Agiscuola have correctly picked the winner of the Golden Lion seven times.
On the subject of the US films shown here, Mueller told AFP: “The very original, innovative films that we have shown contradict the widespread image of a monolithic American cinema centred on lazy blockbusters. It’s a nice contribution to cultural diversity to see the dominating machine of American cinema contradicted by these new trends.”
Bless the jolie-pitts.
again with the all white…you look like a tool Brad.

men don’t dislike brad…brad is cult cool..he’s also an undercover rastafirian
Thanks Jared for the new thread and all the pictures. And so what if Angie and the kids did not go with him, he went alone last year. I am sure that he is only going to be there until Sunday and then back to New York to his family
26 free : 09/08/2007 at 1:16 pm
I disagree. Brad is a wonderful dad, gorgeous and a great man.
Jolie is lucky to have him considering the person she is.
he has so much make-up.and after Angulina read his interview,I think she left him and he should have gone there alone.Why he attends this festivals alone?Angulina doesn`t have any excuse because it is weekend and she can attend but she doesn`t what happened to the sentence which he said we are band and stick together.

Why don’t you wait for the actual votes are taken. BTW does that mean Clooney’s new movie sucks also.

Hi spunky, I have to say that I know one troll who keeps changing their name. She keeps reporting garbage. So its hard for me to believe everything that gets posted here, unless its by a trusted regular, or some provides a link.
Angelina is a wonderful person — and apparently so is Brad.
Blessings on the Jolie-Pitts!
LOL @ the ‘crazies’ who think some people got ‘owned’ simply because they didn’t belief an account without proof. i beg to differ as to who ended up looking stupid. holy wow ..the mentality sometimes is so childish.

Cindy’s there so he doesn’t do something stuPITT like talk about his ex. Why is he still wearing Paul Sculfor’s hat.
I think all film festival should have the live coveage like Cannes. That was so cool.
so angelina and the kids not are with him?
because I don´t see them in the photo, and I think that if the whole family stay in toronto we have pics

You’re a moron LOL…even IF he is in Toronto alone that means she LEFT him? We aren’t EVEN sure she isn’t going to be there yet. The red carpet is like 6 hours away and she wouldn’t go with him to do interviews or a photo call for HIS movie so why would she be in this picture? Unless you can produce a picture of her from today in NY, you don’t know where she is and are looking at photos to tell a story like you always do.
Just like she went unseen when they were in NO a couple of weeks ago, she can be unseen now. And regardless, Brad will be back to NY tomorrow night because he has to shoot on Monday. Any way you look at it this a 1 day trip. What will be your excuse when pics of them together in NY surface this coming week? I mean since you believe she ‘left’ him? Grow a brain and some patience because he is still with his ‘great’ love and not going back to his ex-wife :)
41 WHAT : 09/08/2007 at 1:24 pm
Oh you simple little dolt. Did i use too big of words? I did not mean he just left the surgeons office and stepped onto the street to have the above pic taken.
Both he and Jolie have had several trips to the plastic surgeons. Check the before and afters.
You should “LOL”. You’re a complete simpleton.

great news, brad is won
Is it true Brad Pitt won? if true ‘THIS IS THE BEST REVENGE’
GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS.
Just one word: HOT
is a surprise news, I´m my country the news said that the film is not more aplauding in the festival because was so long
A little info for women about men. Most men I know if they are jealous of other men would not show it. It is considered unmanly. It is considered okay to be either ‘dismissive’ or ‘admiring’ of other men, but not jealous. That is considered, rightly or wrongly, to be a female trait. I admire Brad and know some who are dismissive of him but know of no one who is jealous of him or say so serioiusly.
Angelina has made me a new man - Brad Pitt.
Brad bodyguard also match with his white top. Cool shade..
He looks very hot always have and always will.
I justed posted this at the other thread I’m going to repost it over here.
_____________________________
People please don’t answer these SOB’S, the way they write their post, the timing, how they keep agreeing with each others.. around the same time ain’t no accident… this is what they do…
Regarding the “deep friendship” quote Brad made .. The only thing I could’ve gotten out of it is this.
He and Aniston parted ways and things didn’t go as smoothly as they would have wanted it.. whether he made a trip with AJ after their split ( which can be seen as insensitive) and she letting Oprah say she won’t let them come on her show and raising a champagne glass.( thus making BP and AJ to look like adulterers)
The aftermath that followed the divorcee wasn’t handled well ( I look at Kidman’s & Cruise’s divorce as one)
Why?? Whether it’s The tabloids , PR, friends or relatives leaking stories to the press.. who knows, but there is so much one can do and say about you if you step your foot down and adress some issues in a public way.
Let just say Aniston didn’t mean for any of this to happen ( I mean her friends bashing BP in the Interview or potraying herself as a victim saying that she was healing everytime she was asked how she was coping.. maybe she did feel like a victim .. every one has their perspective on things.
All of that is in the past and by Pitt saying that he still has a “deep friendship”with her, we all know the press is going to ask her about it…Thus making it her move as to how she wants him and herself to be portrayed regarding the whole fiasco. He is making her sit in a hot spot.
1.She can either deny this thus feeding the whole tabloid and their followers.(Some who definately haven’t been laid in a while)
2.Or back his statement which leaves no room for the tabloids & press furthermore she can even say we always have and the media made this whole fiasco out of the situation ( Only between 10 to 20% of those who followed the triangle will keep to do so(I know sad but true)
3.she can take the passive-aggressive way and say we have, and say I’ve grown and have discovered that forgiveness is the only way( some sh*t where he and Jolie still look like those who did her wrong.( Which I think will be very stupid of her to do, personally i think this was her persona and approach so far)
Either way the media , tabloids, fans , haters and movie-executives will all be watching for her response..so they can take it from there.
And all comes down to who she is and what does she want.
And no matter which road she takes the way Pitt adressed this and the time it took him to even speak about this issue.. well it doesn’t matter to those with an IQ above 120 he comes over as a real man who still can talk kindly about his ex wife.
She needs to take a direction as to where she wants this to lead she can’t please nor fool everyone at the same time.
As Lincoln said:

You wrote this “Guess Jolie sent him to her nose guy.”
Which means he had to had it done in the last two years. When? Brusing of the face takes many weeks to heal. I don’t think B&A have gone a week withoug being photographed.
Oh No, here we go again. I am gonna get excited then I am gonna have my feelings hurt.

yes the bes for her is stay in home with her kids, not with a unselfish man that only speak and defends her ex.
I think angie is a little upset with the interview, you can see in her face this days, and that why she didn´t go to the toronto fil festival.
and alert when angie is upset se take desicions, and I hope that se make that she want.
go angie
Actually, no one is sure where Angie is at the moment. While I do think the kids are NY, she could be at the premiere tonight. They’ve left the kids for 48 hours before (i.e. Bilbao Spain get away). Brad has to be on set Monday too so either way he’s leaving Sunday night (probably after the One event).
Brad, I know you are the best. I love you. So happy for you. Congratulation!

Thanks Celia, sorry for doubting you but this is the net, you know how it goes.
Anyways, WAY TO GO BRAD! So happy for him.
Congrats to Brad. IF Angelina is not at the premeire tonight, I think Brad/Angelina will both be at the premeire of that other Canadian film festival that is near where they filmed ther movie. I still think with Toronto being an hour away that she could attend. It does not mean anything if she does not. I agree that we should ignore the haters.
anyone else read the extracts from BBT new interview? the man really needs to STFU.
Congrats to both Cate and Brad.
Thanks, Celia.
Congrats to Brad. Well deserved, HE IS A GOOD ACTOR AND AN EVEN BETTER FATHER.

Sorry to ask who won last year????
Yes, both won for best performance! No problem, I can understand that there are many people in this place that not always say the truth! BTW I don’t get all the attencion is paid to Brad ex…Here in Italy we barely know who she is and divorcing is not such an issue! He has fallen for Angie that’s it: when, where and why does it really matters? Should he stay with a woman he didn’t love anymore? That would be not correct for her, too. His ex deserves to be loved the way he loves Angie, that’s it..Hope she will be, one day! So I don’t get all the talking!

Excuse me??? What are you saying? Are you saying Angie should be with a selfish man?
I am glad Brad is “unselfish” that means he likes to share (maybe not about his love for Angie, which is appropriate not for public consumption). Unselfish means he has a kind spirit and is a good man.
Brad looks so handsome!!! love this guy!

I don´t when she is but I´m sure that is with her kids and without brad
125 why
Brad is the father of Angelina’s kids, the kids’ other parent. You always always attempt to totally minimize him in her life. It is Angelina’s decision to love Brad and to form a family with him, NOT YOURS. You need mind your own business, if you have any that is.
************************************************************
Congrats to Brad for the Venice award as best actor. Anybody know if he has won anything at Venice before?
Cate won as best actress for her Bob Dylan role, and maybe this is the one that gets Oscar attention also, rather than the Elizabeth I period piece.
Actually, i hope Angie is in Toronto with Brad. After this wonderful news of his winning the Coppa Volpi, i personally want them to take that triumphant, nose-thumping-at-the-haterz/rub-the-haterz-nose-in-it walk down the red carpet!!!!

Considering the person she is?!
That is my point exactly:
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR PEOPLE - SO MANY OF THEM - TALKING SO
HIGHLY OF PITT AS THEY DO OF ANGIE.
LOOK AT HER YOURSELF. You don’t trust the tabs, do you?
There’s no one like her.
It may be very interesting for you to take a closer look at
Pitt.
Also, read about his past and inform yourself - NOT such a
nice mid-western “boy”. A lot of it is PR, they are paid
for it. Things leak anyways.
What do you think how Angi is?!
The longtime fans of Brad/Angelina do not have a problems with the V interview excerpts we have seen. It is the faux fans and troublemakers who have issues with it. V is not out where I live. I still have not been able to find the latest issue of Detailos either. I will try again on Monday or Tuesday.
God bring down his many blessings upon the Jolie-Pitts. Praise be to them they are such a wonderful family unit. I am prostrating myself before them and showing my humbleness before their lovelyness which outshines anything in this temporal world.

Ang Lee Film Wins Golden Lion Top Award at Venice Festival
By Iain Millar
Sept. 8 (Bloomberg) — Ang Lee’s “Si, Jie” (Lust, Caution), an erotic espionage thriller set in 1940s Shanghai, won the Golden Lion top prize at the Venice Film Festival, bringing the 64th competition to a close.
“I’m Not There,” a U.S. movie directed by Todd Haynes and inspired by Bob Dylan, and “La Graine et le Mulet,” a French film by Abdellatif Kechiche, shared the Special Jury Prize.
Brian De Palma was voted best director for “Redacted,” which is about the conflict in Iraq. Paul Laverty won the prize for best script for “It’s a Free World” by Ken Loach.
The award for best actor went to Brad Pitt for his performance in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” directed by Andrew Dominik. Cate Blanchett won the best actress prize for her role in Haynes’s “I’m Not There.”
Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci was presented with a special Golden Lion for his career. The seven-member jury was headed this year by Chinese film maker Zhang Yimou.
In this year’s festival, 23 films vied for the Golden Lion, which last year went to “Still Life” by the Chinese director Jia Zhang-Ke. Veteran French filmmaker Alain Resnais won the Silver Lion for best director in 2006 for “Private Fears in Private Places.”
The first Venice Film Festival was held in 1932. Among the earliest prize winners were directors Rene Clair and Rouben Mamoulian and actors Frederic March and Helen Hayes.

Is this why for real? Anyone understand it’s comments?
I honestly think both Pitt And Jolie will have an Oscar nomination next year for AMH & AOJJ.
I just looked at the Venice interview in which he says sleep in non-existent. I get the feeling he’s pretending when he says it’s the most fun he’s ever had-raising kids, however, when he says, it’s the biggest pain in the ass, that seems to come from deep within and he means it.
I think he bit off more than he can chew. Sure he wanted “new” sex, but, what comes with it; I don’t think he bargained for this level of responsibility.
He and Jolie are practically raising triplets with Zahara, Maddox and Pax being so close in age, and a newborn with Shiloh. I am sure people who are raising triplets and quadruplets are shaking their head with the amount of traveling he and Jolie do.
When we see the pics everything is in order,but, anyone who has small children will tell you getting one of them out of the house by a certain time is a monumental task, far less four of them. There is no way that these two people don’t have nannies(plural). These are actors who have to study lines, to travel to locations, make financial and business decisions(e.g production company), plus trips to impoverished countries for the UN and Katrina housing projects.
There are other people bathing, feeding and playing with these kids. Sure we see them in public with the planned photo ops looking all hands on.
I think this is what’s a pain in the ass to Brad,the need to keep up this facade. He is a man that does what he wants to, now, his life is controlled by fatherhood. The freedom to come and go as you want is gone. The public is watching.
This is a bit off the subject but note worthy. I believe the movie A Mighty Heart didn’t do well in the theaters because the public is, at this time period, not interested in 911 related movies. With the War still going strong and we are loosing our beloved sons and dauthers everyday, who would be interested in movies about tolerance and understanding of a particular religion. It would’ve been different outcome if the movie avocated hate and revange.
Although the movie was done very nicely and the acting very superb, the majority of people are reluctant to embrace the ideal of tolerance and understanding.
On the other hand, we should give recognition to Angelina for her acting in the movie. She was very believable as Marianne in the movie. We the fans of promoting good acting should let the media know that Angelina’s acting as Marianne deserves Oscar recogniton.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/07/earlyshow/saturday/main3243796.shtml
Which eventually will lead to a win for both :)
Seriously who cares if Angelina goes to premiere tonight? He went alone last year too. They can’t win. If Angie goes, it’s all for publicity and if she doesn’t go, something’s wrong with them. Sheesh.

I don´t know why she is not with him in toronto to the premiere, she went to venice and this was so far, and toronto is near.
only I can think that because the tv shows will be asking about aniston.
OT-
Getty has pixs of Heath Ledger in Venice at closing ceremony and he looks really really terrible.
I guess Brad will get a Golden Lion like those shown for best actor.

Yay! Brad won, may it be the first of many.
Thanks Celia for breaking the news!
Congrats to BP for his win at the Venice Film Festival. AJ also gave a powerful performance in AMH. I am hoping that she gets a Golden Globe and Oscar Nomination as well nominations for the film itself. Both movies are shaping up to be critical successes for Plan B. Hopefully, AMH will receive a more receptive and bigger audience worldwide and DVD.
BP fought long and hard to preserve his and the Director’s vision of the movie, Jesse James. I wish them all the best. Peace to all.
I believe this year is Brad Pitt’s year. He is going to win more awards.

Somalia, I’m sorry, but some fans do go overboard in worshipping Brad and Angie. You can like them without deifying them, know what I’m saying?
I thought Abdul’s comment was hilarious.
Congrats to Brad. No doubt him and his lady will find an intimate way to celebrate.
When is the premiere in Toronto?

I agree with your post, but what I don’t understand is why would one say it didn’t do well .. Babel was released the same way made almost the same at the box office but still made over $100 million eventually.
AMH has only been released in US and only limited release and still needs to open in 20 countries.. i’m still waiting for it to be released over here.

The reason these type of movies don’t do so well IN THE US is because a difference in culture my uncle who lives in Miami told me at his theater few people went to see The Good Shepherd whereas over here NL my theater was packed.. in Europe documentaries or movies which are based on historical facts ( Troy )do better then something like (Night at the Museum )and in Us is vice-versa.. confirming what u said the need for hate and vengeance instead of tolerance and understanding

Thanks. Called it as I saw it. They’re just lucky that he didn’t go into specific details about what was lacking with his ex. As it was, he just said, he just wasn’t that into her, he knew he sure as hell didn’t want to spend anymore time wasting his life with her and well, he always described their relationship as an extraordinary friendship, even when married. So, he bookended what he’d already said in 2005 and people conveniently forgot. Nothing new, but, this time, people were paying attention. LOL.
People aren’t pissed that he talked, which Brad said he’d do when things calmed down. He said it all in a paragraph, he didn’t do it in 7-8 interviews like his ex. They’re just pissed off at what he said.
JJ has put up many threads regarding the Toronto festival, if you go to the main page you can see thread for Jennifer Garner, Jake Gyllenhall, Reese Whiterspoon, etc….but surprisingly you are here instead? hmmmmm, and complaint too?….ARE YOU BLIND WOMAN? or just PLAIN STUPID>

Hey guli, how are you?
O2 and Guli see you on the other thread.
Brad Pitt scores a hit, award with Jesse James
Fresh off a Best Actor award from the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt talks to the Post’s Bob Thompson about his new film The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford and the pitter patter of little feet:
After the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt and his Angelina Jolie family entourage found themselves completing their world film festival tour with a stop in Toronto Saturday.
That’s where he got to celebrate Pitt’s Venice Film Festival best actor award for his The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.
Before they got to Hogtown, though, Pitt also proclaimed for all to hear that he
wants to have another child. And we should all go ahead and assume the
making of that potential baby would be with Jolie. Together the couple already have four kids, including a 15-month-old girl Jolie gave birth to.
On the professional front, Pitt proudly showcased his cowboy picture at the
Toronto International Film Festival. Screening at the Elgin Visa Theatre
Saturday night, Jesse James shows itself to be an artistic cowboy picture about heroes and villains and a lot of the in between.
Pitt, naturally, plays Jesse James. The outlaw’s brooding and paranoid and in the
final year of his rampaging. So don’t expect quick draws and saloon brawls.
Ain’t what this western’s about.
Filmed more than two years ago mostly outside of Calgary and Winnipeg, the movie is a mostly reflective artsy oater by Aussie director Andrew Dominik who fine-tunes the performances each and every way.
Pitt and especially Casey Affleck who plays the coward Ford, give
Oscar-worthy performances although both seemed slightly uncomfortable about
the accolades offered them at a jammed Four Seasons Hotel Saturday before the screening.
In an interview with the National Post, Pitt admitted the three year long edit of “the complicated and psychological film” was worth the wait because they released the drama they had intended to make.
Some pundits predicted the picture was in trouble last year, but the Ocean’s Thirteen star said nothing could be farther from the truth. He said when director Dominik missed a release date last fall they both decided to wait for a following autumn release.
Their decision seems to have paid off. Pitt said he is especially thrilled with Affleck’s performance. “He’s always been more than he’s showed us and now he finally gets to prove it,” said Pitt.
In fact, the US$30-milion film is getting positive notices at the Toronto festival after winning over critics at Venice which is where Pitt suggested he might want to have another child.
He wouldn’t go that far in Toronto but he maintained his new family is the most important thing to him for many different reasons.
“My family comes first policy has made making movies more enjoyable,” he confirmed. “I don’t feel defined by what I do and that makes me feel good doing it.”
Speaking of family, Pitt smiled when he was asked if he could escape George Clooney who was in a Four Seasons suite a few doors down promoting Toronto festival film Michael Clayton. They both had been in Venice doing their festival thing. And both are currently together again on a Coen Brothers picture being shot in New York called Burn After Reading.
So did Clooney, a Coen veteran, give Pitt any advice on working with the brothers? “We don’t give that much advice to each other just a lot sarcasm,” he said.

He was and will always be. And again, he didn’t say anything different than he’d said in 2005. He just put everyone on blast this go round and put the impetus back on who it belonged, to stick to their original statement.
We’ll see if she can actually do it or not.
263 Observer2 : 09/08/2007 at 3:43 pm
I don’t think she will say anything. She is too much of a coward.
264 Aeon : 09/08/2007 at 3:48 pm

No, but he effectively put her in her place. She can be an adult and let it go and do as she’s said she’s doing. Move on or she can take her shots and let people know she’s full of it and hasn’t. The perpetual victim hasn’t done her any favors. He threw her a bone.
265 Observer2 : 09/08/2007 at 3:51 pm
Agree. It begs to wonder if she is so over Brad what the hell the Jenhags been harping about. She craves that kind of “victimness” image so the public can feel sorry for her. I really blame her and her post-interviews for the creation and continuance of this “soap-opera.” To top it off, it burned me when they turn Brad into this “no thinking man-object.” I know Brad is a catch and all but Angie is his prize. He went after her she didn’t pursue him. To this day I never fully understood the attacks on Angie. What does that say about us (modern women). That we are still needy beings who needs a man to define us. That burns in itself (no disrespect to Brad).
BRAD & ANGIE , EVERTY TIME THEY WANT TO SHOW UP SOMEWHERE , THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL , NEWSPAPER, OR MAGAZINE OR OTHE MEDIA TO SHOW UP THERE, BEFORE THEY DO , TO GET PICTURES, I AM SURE THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY PLACES THEY GO. EXAMPLE:
WHERE WAS THE MEDIA, WHEN ANGIE REMOVED HER BREAST IMPLANTS, YEA , THESE ARE ALL FOR PUBLICITY, AND THEY ARE FOOLING THOSE WHO ,BACKING THEM UP.
266 Aeon : 09/08/2007 at 3:58 pm
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’ve always thought she did herself a huge disservice by going the route that she did and not sticking to their separation agreement. She should have said, yeah, it wasn’t working for either of us for many reasons. It’s no one’s business but ours and I wish him the best and am excited for the future. Something to that effect.
Women are own worse enemies. I don’t understand it or get behind it. No one defines us, but us.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE SHOW PICUTES OF OTHER STARS, WHO HAVE THEIR MOVIE PREMIER IN THE TORONTO FESTIVAL SHOW.

If she had stuck to the agreement she could have come out of this much better. Look at Nicole Kidman, she was a class act all the way. But not her. I wonder how they really feel about her in Hollywood circles.

VENICE (Reuters) - Taiwanese director Ang Lee’s sexually explicit “Lust, Caution” was the surprise winner of the Golden Lion for best picture at the Venice film festival on Saturday, just two years after he won with “Brokeback Mountain.”
The movie is a World War Two thriller set in Shanghai featuring long and sometimes violent sex scenes which Lee has hinted were real.
“It is overwhelming, because this movie has taken me to some very difficult places,” Lee told the red carpet award ceremony on the Lido waterfront.
“I have invited you to come along with me and in the end to stay down there with me … You are the seven samurais, I needed your help,” he added, addressing the seven-member jury.
Brian De Palma, whose “Redacted” shocked audiences in Venice with its brutal reconstruction of the real-life rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl by U.S. soldiers, won the Silver Lion award for best director.
Tunisian-born director Abdellatif Kechiche and his drama “La Graine et le mulet” (”The Secret of the Grain”), was one of two runner-up jury prize winners, and was described by the jury as the “revelation” of the 2007 edition of the festival.
The film is about an old Arab man and his family seeking to realize their dream of opening a restaurant in southern France.
While not overtly political, it touches on the issue of integration by immigrants, and whether they have what the director called the “right to be different.”
Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There,” one of six U.S. productions in the 23-strong main competition, took the other runner-up prize for his conceptual biopic about singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
In a bold piece of casting, Australian-born Cate Blanchett was one of six performers to play the singer at various stages of his life, and it paid off when she was named best actress in Venice this year.
Hollywood star Brad Pitt was the surprise winner of the best actor award for his portrayal of outlaw Jesse James in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”
His co-star, Casey Affleck, who played James’ killer Ford as a creepy social misfit, had been widely expected to scoop the prize.

She would have. She said she didn’t want to be defined by her marriage and it’s ending and that’s exactly what she is. Her doing.
The fact that she didn’t work for 2 years is a good clue and now that she’s a supporting player in a Drew Barrymore movie and her next lead is with Steve Zahn is the other.
269 (??????)
I just desired to BPITT: ******* CONGRATULATIONS******
I didn’t understand.
I’m back to add a big congratulations to Cate Blanchett for her role as BOB DYLAN. All those artisically clueless haters who were ranting on Angelina for portraying Marianne Pearl, well here we have a woman portraying a man in a film and she wins a Festival prize.
Brad Pitt is awesome,just love him! **Mauau**
Congrats Brad!!!!!!!!!
Totally Cool! Good for Brad!! Can’t wait for “JJ” to get to movies! He looks just yummy in his “JJ” pictures.
Missouri Mama! Both your Bradleys are rocking it!!! LOL

HERE’S TO YOU #42 … BRAD PITT “WON” BEST ACTOR AT VENICE FESTIVAL!
Ang Lee Film Wins Golden Lion at Venice Festival (Update1)
By Iain Millar
Sept. 8 (Bloomberg) — Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution,” an erotic thriller set in 1940s Shanghai, won the Golden Lion top prize at the Venice Film Festival, closing the 64th competition.
“I’m Not There,” a U.S. movie directed by Todd Haynes and inspired by Bob Dylan, and “La Graine et le Mulet,” a French film by Abdellatif Kechiche, shared the Special Jury Prize.
Accepting the award, Lee paid homage to Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, who died on July 30. “When I was in preproduction, I visited Ingmar Bergman on his island,” Lee said. “He touched my face liked a mother touches a child. He hugged me. Tonight, I pass that hug to you.”
Brian De Palma was voted best director for “Redacted,” which is about the conflict in Iraq. “Prizes are always great because it helps your film to be seen,” De Palma said. “But critics and prizes just tell you what the fashion of the day is. We don’t make movies to win prizes.”
The award for best actor went to Brad Pitt for his performance in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” directed by Andrew Dominik. Cate Blanchett won the best actress prize for her role in “I’m Not There.”
“Cate turned what could have been a stunt into a compelling performance,” director Haynes said.
Paul Laverty won the award for best script for “It’s a Free World” by Ken Loach, and Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci was presented with a special Golden Lion for his career. The seven- member jury was headed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou.
In this year’s festival, 23 films vied for the Golden Lion, which last year went to “Still Life” by the Chinese director Jia Zhang-Ke. Veteran French filmmaker Alain Resnais won the Silver Lion for best director in 2006 for “Private Fears in Private Places.”
The first Venice Film Festival was held in 1932. Among the earliest prize winners were directors Rene Clair and Rouben Mamoulian and actors Frederic March and Helen Hayes.
