Guy Ritchie will be there to promote the film, along with Gerard Butler, Jeremy Piven, Thandie Newton, and Tom Wilkison. There are always press conferences, photos and media interviews at TIFF to promote the movies. Some films screened at TIFF receive a lot of buzz and go on to receive awards, so you never know. Unfortunately North American (US) audiences generally don't watch foreign films whether they are British, French or any other language. If they are nominated for an Oscar they have more of a chance of being seen (e.g. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). RocknRolla has been described as very British and that it will attract only a limited audience in the USA.

I want to see this movie! I love English films in general and think they need WAY more distribution in the U.S. Too many of Gerard Butler's films suffer from poor distribution so that people can't see what a great actor he really is. Fans of films like "Butterfly on a Wheel" and "Dear Frankie" know exactly what I'm talking about. Really magnificent work gets sucked into the oblivion of hard-to-find DVDs on Amazon, and this is why more people don't know who Gerard Butler is. The only films they've heard of are "300" and "Phantom of the Opera", so all they know about him is that he has a six pack and he's not Michael Crawford. Obviously there's a lot more to be appreciated from those films, but that's all any of us were hearing about. It's time for Gerard Butler to achieve star status and for his movies to be appreciated. I am sick and tired of people overlooking him and being totally blind to the fact that he acts his socks off in every single role and has fantastic taste in which movies he acts in. Distribute "RocknRolla", people! Yes! I want to see this movie!
