Among 26 additions to its gala and special presentation programs, the festival announced Tuesday David Mackenzie’s Chris Pine-starring period epic Outlaw King — the actor-director duo’s first film together since 2016’s Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water — will hold its world premiere screening in the 2018 event’s opening night slot, while Kristen Stewart, Laura Dern, and Diane Kruger will close the festival with their Justin Kelly-directed Savannah Knoop biopic Jeremiah Terminator Leroy.
Outlaw King, also starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Florence Pugh, and Billy Howle, is billed as a David-versus-Goliath tale about the legendary Scottish king who reclaimed the regional throne from the English crown and its imposing army.

Jeremiah Terminator Leroy features Stewart as Knoop, who posed as the titular literary persona of her sister-in-law, Laura Albert (Dern), throughout the 1990s.
Also joining the 2018 TIFF lineup are the world premieres of Sebastián Lelio’s Gloria Bell (a Julianne Moore-starring remake of his own 2013 film Gloria), Jonah Hill’s directorial debut Mid90s, Thomas Vinterberg’s Kursk, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s big screen adaptation of the controversial book A Million Little Pieces, and Peter Farrelly’s Green Book.
Other films added to the slate include Paul Greengrass’ 22 July, Joel Edgerton’s Boy Erased, and Naomi Kawase’s Vision.
Since its 1976 inception, TIFF has grown into the largest public film festival in the world, often hosting high profile red carpet galas for films with lofty commercial prospects as well as increasing the visibility of awards-bound titles on the Oscar circuit. Though TIFF is a non-competitive festival, attendees can vote for their favorite films to receive the prestigious People’s Choice Award, which has gone to nine eventual best picture winners or nominees since 2008 — most recently being awarded to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2017.
TIFF runs from Sept. 6-16. Check out the full slate of films showing at the 2018 edition here, and read on for Tuesday’s lineup additions.
