After a strong debut at South by Southwest earlier this year, James Franco's "The Disaster Artist" is headed to the Toronto International Film Festival during the height of awards season. The film, directed by and starring Franco, played as a "work-in-progress" in Austin in March and spurred early Oscar talk for the actor. The section will launch with "Grace Jones: Bloodlight & Bami," from director Sophie Fiennes -- who, yes, is related to Joseph and Ralph Fiennes; she's their sister. Also sure to make headlines: a follow-up to Morgan Spurlock's 2004 McDonald's expose "Super Size Me." The filmmaker's new doc, "Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!," follows Spurlock as he opens his own fast-food restaurant to uncover how meat is mass-produced.
