The latter two films are premiering at Venice. Toronto will present all three films at Gala screenings.

In The Cut , written and directed by Campion based on the best-selling novel by Susanna Moore, stars Meg Ryan as a New York academic who gets caught up in a murder investigation and a relationship with the case's lead detective, played by Mark Ruffalo. The film co-stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kevin Bacon and is produced by Laurie Parker and Nicole Kidman through Pathe International. Screen Gems has the film for North America.

Also a literary adaptation, Matchstick Men stars Nicolas Cage as a small-time con artist whose life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of his teenage daughter. Sam Rockwell, Alison Lohman, and Bruce McGill co-star in the ImageMovers/Scott Free production. Warner Bros. has it worldwide.

Winterbottom's Code 46 features Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton in a love story set in a near-future dystopia. Produced by Revolution Films with the UK Film Council and BBC Films, the film is being sold internationally by UK-based The Works and distributed in territories including North America by United Artists.
