The filmfest has not yet announced the film, but Altman told The Toronto Sun that the deal is cinched. Dr. T will show up either as a gala or as a special presentation, the 'shadow' gala series.
"See you in September," Altman said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "The film is in the Toronto festival."
Gere stars as Dr. Sully Travis, a slickly-dressed, philandering gynecologist who gets his retribution at the hands of his patients. The female co-stars include Claire Danes and Liv Tyler, who flew to Texas to do her Dr. T sessions in between months of shooting her role as the Queen of the Fairies in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy in New Zealand.
Dr. T was written by Anne Rapp, who also penned the screenplay for Altman's most recent film, Cookie's Fortune.
