Meanwhile, Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut, “The Deb,” will close the festival on Sept. 15.

The original musical comedy follows two teenage cousins in a small Australian country town as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and seek dates for their Debutante Ball.

“Nutcrackers” and “The Deb” join previously announced TIFF films including Amy Adams’ feral dark comedy “Nightbitch,” rock documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” and LeBron James-produced Indigenous basketball drama “Rez Ball.”
