Page Eight to close Toronto Film Festival

Bill Nighy's spy tale to wrap up fest.

by Amber Wilkinson

British-made spy drama Page Eight will close next month's Toronto Film Festival.

The film, which stars Billy Nighy and Rachel Weisz, tells the sorry of a long-suffering MI5 officer, who has to navigate a treacherous tangle of intrigue in the wake of his boss's death.

The festival will open with Davis Guggenheim's From The Sky Down - a documentary charting the rise of Irish rockers U2.

Other filmmakers whose premieres will make the liine-up include Terence Davies (Deep Blue Sea), Luc Besson (The Lady) and Francis Ford Coppola (Twixt)
