New films starring Cate Blanchett, Riley Keough, Margaret Qualley, Naomi Watts, Chris Pine and Lily Rose Depp will screen at this year\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival<\/a>, organizers shared on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In the first announcement of films in its Special Presentations program, the festival confirmed that \u201cAlpha Gang,\u201d \u201cGlaxo,\u201d \u201cThe Housewife,\u201d \u201cLove of Your Life\u201d and \u201cYour Mother Your Mother Your Mother\u201d will screen at TIFF. Last week, the festival revealed three titles, including its opening-night film, Sian Heder\u2019s \u201cBeing Heumann.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlpha Gang\u201d stars Cate Blanchett, Riley Keough, Dave Bautista, Chris Pine and Lily Rose Depp and was directed by David and Nathan Zellner, whose last film was the low-budget, dialogue-free \u201cSasquatch Sunset.\u201d It deals with aliens who come to Earth and experience human emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlaxo\u201d is from Argentinian director Benjamin Naishtat, whose 2018 film \u201cRojo\u201d premiered in Toronto. It is set in a small town upset by the arrival of a retired policeman and his wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove of Your Life\u201d is the second feature from cinematographer-turned-director Rachel Morrison, who previously made \u201cThe Fire Inside\u201d in 2024. Her new film is a romantic drama starring Margaret Qualley and Patrick Schwarzenegger.<\/p>\n

First-time director Ben Shirinian\u2019s \u201cThe Housewife\u201d stars Tye Sheridan as a New York Times journalist who tracks down a former Nazi officer living in Queens and Naomi Watts as the suspect\u2019s wife. The film will be released by Neon.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Mother Your Mother Your Mother,\u201d from Pakistani-American director Bassam Tariq, is an Amazon MGM action film starring Mahershala Ali as a deeply religious hitman.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlaxo,\u201d \u201cLove of Your Life,\u201d \u201cThe Housewife\u201d and \u201cYour Mother Your Mother Your Mother\u201d will all make their world premieres in Toronto. \u201cAlpha Gang\u201d is listed by TIFF as an international premiere, which means that before it goes to Toronto it will have already screened in the United States, mostly likely at the Telluride Film Festival.<\/p>\n

An extended lineup of Galas and Special Presentations will be announced by TIFF on Monday, followed by additional announcements over the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Toronto International Film Festival will begin on Sept. 10 and run through Sept. 20.<\/p>\n
