New films from around the world have been added to the special presentations and gala lineup at the Toronto International Film Festival. They include a new movie from French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, an unexpected horror film, and a new comedy from Jason Reitman.

In the galas, Jeunet, director of the Oscar-nominated Amélie, will be at TIFF with the world premiere of Micmacs. Shot in Jeunet’s signature style, this film tells the story of a man who has a bullet lodged in his head, which cannot be removed, that subsequently makes him act in strange and unusual ways.

As for special presentations, Reitman returns to the fest with his new film starring George Clooney, Up in the Air. The comedy, which is based on a novel of the same name by Walter Kirn, has Clooney as a corporate downsizing officer whose cherished life on the road becomes threatened. Reitman had prior success at the festival when he screened Thank You for Smoking in 2005 which landed a $7 million distribution deal.

A surprising addition to this year’s catalogue is The Hole from director Joe Dante, about a bottomless pit in the basement of a house that brings nightmares to life. Films of the horror genre are usually relegated to the Midnight Madness section of the fest, however, The Hole finds itself in the special presentations among more traditional dramas and comedies.

Two films from India will make their world premieres in the gala program. Dil Bole Hadippa from Anurag Singh tells the story of a girl who disguises herself as a boy, with a beard and turban, in order to fulfill her dreams of playing on a cricket team. What’s Your Raashee? from Ashutosh Gowariker is a romantic comedy about a man trying to find his true love in 10 days.

The special presentation lineup also includes the world premiere of the Icelandic film The Good Heart. Directed by Dagur Kari, it’s about a bar owner who takes in a homeless boy.
