TORONTO — The Toronto International Film Festival has announced one more movie for its lineup: "Roman J. Israel, Esq." starring Denzel Washington.
It's helmed by Dan Gilroy, who earned a best original screenplay Oscar nomination for "Nightcrawler," which he also directed.
"Roman J. Israel, Esq." is billed as a dramatic thriller that explores the overburdened Los Angeles criminal justice system.
Washington is expected to visit Toronto for the world premiere.
TIFF kicks off Sept. 7 with the opening film "Borg/McEnroe," a tennis drama starring Shia LaBeouf.
