Two more sneak into Toronto lineup

August 27, 2009 The Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday made two last-minute bookings for Iranian director Hana Makhmalbaf's "Green Days" and "The Warrior and the Wolf," a combat epic from Chinese director Tian Zhuangzhuang. The two films are among a slew of titles coming into Toronto with significant territories up for grabs, including U.S. indie titles like Barry Levinson's "The Band That Wouldn't Die," Bob Richman's "Ahead of Time," "How to Fold a Flag," from Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein, and Derrick Borte's "The Joneses," the Demi Moore and David Duchovny-starring dramedy in Toronto for a world bow. The unusually high number of films coming into Toronto without North American distribution results in large part from a crop of indie pics financed in better times by equity players being launched into a buyer's market.
