The Wind Rises to Premiere in Toronto, Plus a Subtitled Trailer

Studio Ghibli's latest, The Wind Rises, has been holding the number one spot at the Japanese box office since it opened on 20th July according to Slashfilm. This could be a great indicator of what we can expect when it finally opens in the States or the UK... When will that be? We still have no idea.

-- However! We have learned that the film will have it's English subtitled premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) which will take place in Toronto, Canada from 5th-15th September. Though they have yet to post screening dates for the festival, the official TIFF page for The Wind Rises indicates that the schedule will be released on 20th August, so those of you lucky enough to have passes can pen that into your festivity plans.

Python Fans Get Ready: First Trailer for A Liar's Autobiography

Fans of Monty Python are in for a treat in the near future,  A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman, a Python-based animated film, is almost here! The film is being produced by London-based Bill and Ben Productions, and was animated in 17 different styles by 14 different companies (including A for Animation).

The film is based on late-great Python Graham Chapman's (untrue) memoirs, A Liar's Autobiography (Volume VI), and features Chapman's reading of the book, recorded before his death in 1989. Though not a Monty Python film, A Liar's Autobiography does feature the voices John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam (but not Eric Idle).

A cacophony of randomness, quirkiness and not appropriate for children-ness, the first trailer (above) for the film looks great! Funny, striking and moving in places, A Liar's Autobiography looks to be a whole lot of fun.

A Liar's Autobiography will premiere at TIFF this weekend and will air in the US, on EPIX, later this year, before a limited 3D theatrical release, starting 2nd November. The film, made by a British studio about a British comedian, will then be released in the UK early next year, by Trinity.
