The first stars to hit the gala circuit this film festival season are Canuck Paul Gross, songstress-turned-actress Jennifer Hudson, Jolie hubby and hottie, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Your best bet to catch them is to either hang around Yorkville in the hopes of seeing them leave their hotel or grab a coffee, or to line up outside the theatre.

Gross' film Passchendaele, which he produced, wrote and starred in, opens the festival Thursday September 4th with a gala at 8:00 pm at Roy Thompson Hall.  

Friday night The Secret Life of Bees, starring Hudson alongside Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning and Paul Bettany, will be screened at 6:30 pm at Roy Thompson Hall.

Finally, the film Coen brothers fans are waiting for (the Coen brothers also did The Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men), Burn After Reading. Line up real early for this one as you'll be bumping elbows with some serious paprazzi for a look at Brad!  

Check out the screening times for the normal folk here.
