Evan Rachel Wood - 4 films showing at TIFF

Evan Rachel Wood has 4 films, in which she stars, that will be showing at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival 2007) this year. Dang, she sure is a busy busy girl. Here are the films showing and a link to the dates and times...

Across the Universe - Julie Taymor's long-delayed Beatles musical. The film opens with the gorgeous straggle-haired Jude (Jim Sturgess) as he draws the audience into his tale of love, cultural revolution, protest, freedom and art. Travelling to the United States from his Liverpool home, Jude befriends Princeton drop-out Max (Joe Anderson, from Copying Beethoven and this year’s Control), and the pair move to New York City to live la vie bohème. Jude soon discovers his calling as an artist and finds love in the form of Max’s winsome sister, Lucy. Jude looks at Lucy and he is stabbed through the heart: she is a vision, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes; she’s like the sky, like diamonds…

In Bloom - In Bloom is a provocative and profound exploration of morality, conscience and memory. Basing his film on the novel The Life Before Her Eyes by Laura Kasischke, director Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog) has created an elegiac, audacious story that explores the survivor’s guilt suffered by one woman following a Columbine-like school shooting.

It is rumored that Evan will definately make an appearance at the festival. We're told it's for Across the Universe...but who knows really. Not sure if she will bring along her boyfriend, Marilyn Manson, or not. If Manson does show up with Evan, I'm sure the outfits will be interesting, to say the least. Can't wait for the pics!!!
