The Power of the Dog is following The Electrical Life of Louis Wain‘s pawsteps!

It’s just been announced the film will have its Canadian premiere at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, as part of its Special Presentations programme!! Check it out:

And it raises the same speculation Electrical Life‘s announcement did: Does this mean it’ll have its North American premiere at Telluride? Hopefully things are about to get even more exciting!

What we do know is that the 2021 TIFF will take place from 9-18 September and its full schedule will be revealed on 24 August.

The Toronto International Film Festival has revealed the line-up for this year’s edition – scheduled to take place from 9-18 September – and, to our collective happiness, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain will make its Canadian premiere there as part of the Gala Presentations programme. Here’s the official announcement:

The festival’s full schedule will be released only on 24 August but we can already see in its website that the movie is 111 minutes long.

Meanwhile, in its piece covering the announcement, Screen International brought this up:

Will Sharpe’s UK drama The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy will have its Canadian premiere as a Gala Presentation, suggesting it may be bound for a world debut at Telluride in August.

So, hopefully, we have more exciting news coming our way!
