Toronto International Film Festival has unveiled more films in its programme. Notable new world premieres include Matt Reeves’ Let Me In, Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter, and Dustin Lance Black’s What’s Wrong With Virginia.

The festival will close with the world premiere Gala presentation of Massy Tadjedin’s Last Night, starring Keira Knightley, Eva Mendes, Sam Worthington and Guillaume Canet.

As previously reported, Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours will also screen as a Special Presentation.

The festival has also unveiled its Midnight Madness selections, programmed by Colin Geddes. Those selections include the world premieres of John Carpenter’s The Ward; Guy Moshe’s Bunraku starring Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore and Josh Hartnett; and James Wan’s Insidious starring Rose Byrne, Barbara Hershey and Patrick Wilson.

Geddes said: ““From the streets of Hong Kong to a post-apocalyptic, vampire-plagued United States, from a town run by Kung Fu killers to the oil fields of Alberta, this year’s Midnight Madness selection will take audiences into worlds that are sure to excite, shock and thrill.”
