Over the past few years, ComingSoon.net has covered the Toronto International Film Festival (a.k.a. TIFF) and anyone who has read any of our earlier preview pieces already knows the significance of the festival as part of the annual "festival season" which debuts some of the strongest films of the fall as well as a number of great genre films that will be making an impact down the road.

At this point, TIFF is up there with Cannes and Sundance in terms of being a market festival where new films from top filmmakers and first-timers will show off their wares in hopes of getting distribution. Some TIFF premieres will fare better than others—step up and take a bow The Hurt Locker and Crash, two movies picked up at TIFF that went all the way to winning Best Picture on Oscar night over a year after premiering there. Others may take months and even years to get any sort of distribution or may just disappear without a trace.

The Toronto International Film Festival unveiled an international selection of films as part of this year's TIFF Kids program, including world premieres for Finding Nemo 3D and Hotel Transylvania.

Yesterday, the Toronto International Film Festival announced a good portion of the line-up for their 37th annual film festival with Rian Johnson's Looper (Sony - Sept. 28) opening the festival on September 6.

Since many of the movies premiering at TIFF also had some of their first images (or a new photo) released yesterday, we've decided to put together a single piece where you can get a quick overview of some of the high profile movies announced to premiere at the annual festival. You can click on each of the pictures to be taken to a gallery of new pictures or a larger version of the picture in the case where there's only one.

As in past years, ComingSoon.net will be covering the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and hours before the official press conference announcing this year's TIFF line-up< Variety have released an extensive list of the movies that will premiere there including Rian Johnson's action-thriller Looper, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt as the festival opener on Thursday, September 6.

Magnolia Pictures has scheduled two of its festival pick-ups for the summer with Lauren Greenfield's Sundance favorite doc The Queen of Versailles being released on July 6, and Fernando (City of God) Meirelles' globe-trotting drama 360, starring Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Anthony Hopkins and Ben Foster, coming out a month later on August 3.

It's been a little while since we've done one of these--and we do hope to bring "The Career Analyst" back one of these days, too--but we're back with another look at a movie not opening for a couple months, this one being Universal Studios' attempt to resurrect one of their popular comedy franchises with American Reunion. It's opening on April 6, Easter weekend when many people will be off from school and work either on Good Friday or Monday or both, and they hope that opening before what's going to be a busy summer will help them bring in some profits during the normally slower spring month.

It's been eight year or more since we've seen the original kids from American Pie, an R-rated coming-of-age comedy that introduced Hollywood to a lot of new talent back in 1999, including directors Paul and Chris Weitz, who have both gone onto bigger things. At the time, few people knew who Jason Biggs or Seann William Scott or Shannon Elizabeth or Chris Klein or Tara Reid, so it opened with a modest $18.7 million a week after the 4th of July 1999.

Sony Pictures Classics has picked up the U.S. distribution rights for another potential entry in the Best Foreign Language Film Category for the 2012 Academy Awards, as they announced today they will be releasing Nadine Labaki's Where Do We Go Now?, which won the Cadillac People's Choice Award at the recent 2011 Toronto International Film Festival as well as Best Europe Film at the 2011 San Sebastian Film Festival.

Millennium Entertainment CEO Bill Lee announced today that the company has acquired U.S. rights to Oren Moverman's critical smash Rampart, which had its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Millennium Entertainment will release the film theatrically this year with newly appointed Millenium Films' Mark Gill consulting on the project.

The Toronto International Film Festival has officially been over for a couple days now and we wanted to give a quick look back at some of our favorite movies we saw there for those who haven't been following our daily coverage.

It was an interesting year for the festival because there seemed to be a lot more frontloading than usual with many of the big movies playing on Friday through Monday and then very little of note after that, which is a shame, but it also felt a bit more down-key than previous years with no movies really jumping out as a potential "Best Picture" winner. That wasn't the case in previous years when The Hurt Locker, No Country for Old Men, Crash and The King's Speech all had their North American premieres at TIFF, so there certainly is presence.

Music Box Films announced today the company has made its first English-language acquisition - Terence Davies' The Deep Blue Sea.
