| Director: Lawrence Kasdan |

| Glenn Close, Mary Kay Place, Kevin Kline Meg Tilly, Tom Berenger & JoBeth Williams |
On hand was many members of the cast and its director Lawrence Kasdan. After the screening the audience had the opportunity to take part in a Q & A with the cast & crew of the film. This was Kasdans’ directorial debut; He is consider prolific, when you look at a hand full of his film credentials. Kasdan co-wrote Raider’s of the Lost Ark, Empire Strike’s Back, and Return of the Jedi. He directed critically acclaimed movies Body Heat and Silverado. Televison shows like ‘Thirty Something’ & ‘Friends’ took away an archetypal blueprint from the Big Chill. The movie has been recognized as part of American Cinema and cultural history; Its theme music “Ain’t to proud to Beg” was awarded America’s greatest 100 music in movies from AFI.

| Benedict Cumberbatch |
If the image of Benedict Cumberbatch looks familiar to you. That may be because you’ve seen him as the villain in the recent instalment of Star Trek: Into Darkness. Over the Pond, in the UK and in parts of Europe, audiences will automatically associate him as playing the role of a younger more modern Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series Sherlock.

| Daniel Brüh |
 |
| Dan Stevens |
The Fifth Estate, another film screening on the first day of the festival. The atmosphere in attendance was fan frenzy for the series Downton Abbey, actor Dan Stevens who was at attendance, Joining the duo is actor Daniel Brüh who is better recognized for his portrayal as the Nazi war hero Frederik Zoller in ‘Inglorious Basterds’.
For those unfamiliar of the premise of the movie, its about Wiki-Leaks, and.based in-part on Daniel Domscheit-Berg's book Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange and the World's Most Dangerous Website.

| Mia Wasikowska |
The third big Gala film to debut on TIFF’s opening day was
‘Only Lovers Left A live’.
An unusual vampire love story of characters Adam and Eve who live literally oceans apart. I am not one to use big words, and I’ve never used this word before, but I found it fitting today, To characterized Adam played by Avenger’s villain Loki - Tom Hiddleston as one who goes through an existential crisis. The movie features actresses Tilda Swilton & Mia Wasikowska .

Kevin Bacon Game
Just for fun I picked the main actors from the above films and find out how many degrees of Kevin Bacon do they reside,
All but Daniel Brüh are two degrees of Kevin Bacon; who is three.
