\n\tThe Toronto<\/a> Film Festival has selected the lineup for this year\u2019s Midnight Madness sidebar that includes seven world premieres. The pics, whether they\u2019re slashers, comedies or hard-R action titles, close out each of night of the festival with 11:59 p.m. screenings at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf note is the world premiere of Ben Wheatley\u2019s reunion of the Nobody franchise team of Bob Odenkirk<\/a>, scribe Derek Kolstad and producer Marc Provissiero for Normal<\/a>. Movie tells the story of\u00a0Ulysses (Odenkirk), a substitute sheriff in a small, forgotten town who responds to a bank robbery, only to unknowingly uncover something far more explosive. Wheatley\u2019s Brie Larson action movie Free Fire won the Midnight Madness People\u2019s Choice Award in 2016.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso world premiering is Dust Bunny<\/a>, the feature directorial debut of TV showrunner Bryan Fuller<\/a> (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies). In the horror drama thriller, an 8-year-old girl asks her scheming neighbor for help in killing the monster under her bed that she thinks ate her family. David Dastmalchian, Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver star. <\/p>\n

Midnight Madness opens with the Canadian premiere of Matt Johnson\u2019s Toronto-set Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Based on Johnson\u2019s cult Viceland series, this hysterical, death-defying time-travel caper earned a standing ovation and a coveted Midnighter Audience Award at this past spring\u2019s SXSW. <\/p>\n

The closing film is Dead Lover, a zany, macabre horror-comedy from Canadian director Grace Glowicki. <\/p>\n

Kenji Tanigaki\u2019s The Furious is billed as a frenetic martial arts thriller that assembles some of the genre\u2019s fiercest fighters (whose combined credits include The Raid, Chocolate and Everything Everywhere All at Once).<\/p>\n

\n\tNick Corirossi\u2019s comedy The Napa Boys stars Armen Weitzman, Chloe Cherry, Corirossi, Paul Rust and Beth Dover. Blurb: Jack Jr, Miles Jr and the gang are back for one last wine-related journey set forth by the mysterious \u201cSommelier.\u201d Joined this time by Puck, a fan of The Napa Boys comics, the group will learn about love, loss, friendship and viticulture.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 50th edition of the Toronto Film Festival<\/a>, presented by Rogers, runs September 4\u201314.<\/p>\n
