The case for R JOSH HARTNETT A dismembered body. A complicated investigation.

hen an actor who’s groomed for conventional movie stardom W turns his back on his own hype for projects he considers artistically worthy — well, we like to see that. But fans of good movies rarely under-

stand the career risks that such a move 100 2 5 25 50 75 95 98 involves. Take the case of Josh Hartnett. A few years ago, the model-handsome Minnesotan was the talk of Tinseltown. He had the second male lead in the sure- to-be-blockbuster Pearl Harbor, headlined the slick romantic comedy 40 Days and 40 Nights and played cop buddy to Harrison Ford in Hollywood Homicide. Okay, none of those movies proved to be as popular as hoped. But Hartnett, now 28, was uncomfortable with the prospect of being a standard leading-man even then. 100 2 5 25 50 75 95 98 “I was never into chasing the brass ring; that just sounds too stressful,” he says in his deep, resonant voice during a phone call from his home in New York. “I never lived in L.A. — I’ve been out there to shoot, but I’ve never actually lived there. I figure that if you can prove yourself as an actor and directors want to work with you, you’re more likely to stick around without having to constantly be working.” While there is some logic in that approach, pulling it off can be easier said than done. Since becoming more choosy, 100 2 5 25 50 75 95 98 Hartnett has starred in two interesting but indifferently received thrillers, Wicker Park and Lucky Number Slevin,

Douglas Coupland, Sook-Yin Lee, Zacharias Kunuk and

Norman Cohn discuss having their films screened 3/C

at the Toronto International Film Festival B G TORONTOBOUND� R he 31st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF to the in-crowd) takes over downtown T.O. from September 7 to 16 (www.bell.ca/filmfest). Still rivaled T only by Cannes on the world stage, TIFF features a mix of thinkier Hollywood pieces, international indies and, of course, lots of Canadian fare. But how much does it really help the films that it screens, and who are these films for, anyway? Famous spoke with the filmmakers behind three movies that will screen at TIFF — co-directors Zacharias Kunuk and Norman Cohn, actor Sook-Yin Lee, and screenwriter Douglas Coupland — for their perspectives. And don’t worry if you can’t make the festival, all three movies should hit theatres within the next few months, albeit in limited release.
