Vincent Gallo's Insane Taliban Film Heading to TIFF

Good news, finally! The sure-to-be-WTF-inducing Essential Killing, featuring Vincent Gallo as an escaped Taliban soldier in Europe (?) who "must use his wits to evade his pursuers whilst battling bitter winter cold and lack of food," is set to have its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival -- which means it's all that much closer to reaching screens in the States. Maybe. Probably even closer: The Whistleblower, the Rachel Weisz drama about a Nebraska cop on the trail of a sex-slave ring in Bosnia. As predicted, that'll be a world premiere up north; more to come here about this and many others... [TIFF]
