John Sayles, Helen Hunt and Pulitzer-winner David Auburn have joined the ranks of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which on Thursday announced five titles for its Special Presentations program.

U.S. indie film darling Sayles is sending his latest, Honeydripper, a story set in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll with Danny Glover as a juke joint owner who hires a guitar-playing drifter to save his club. It will screen in the program alongside Then She Found Me, the directorial debut of actress Helen Hunt, and The Girl in the Park from author David Auburn, who also went behind the camera for the first time.

Hunt also stars in her film, based on the novel by Elinor Lipman about a 40-ish woman looking for personal fulfillment, along with Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler and Colin Firth. The Girl in the Park has Sigourney Weaver as a woman bereft of her daughter who takes a troubled young girl, played by Kate Bosworth, under her wing.

The other films named are Lars and the Real Girl, by Craig Gillespie and Romulus, My Father by Australian helmer Richard Roxburgh.
