Four major titles that played at the digital edition of the Toronto International Film Festival leaked online over the weekend. I’m not going to get into the specifics and name these movies, but they are now on illegal torrent sites all over the internet.
This latest development m could result in being the final nail In the coffin for digital festival-going. It was always a major fear that studios had when it came to presenting their movies online at film festivals during the COVID-era. Would the titles leak? Well, now they have.
I just hope this doesn’t affect Sundance 2022 too much as I was going to rely heavily on the digital component of that festival. So, let’s find the bastard who leaked these films, reprimand him and move on according to plan?
