Ron Howard’s ‘Eden’ Toronto Premiere Paused Due to ‘Medical Emergency’
The world premiere of Ron Howard‘s “Eden,” starring Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Jude Law and Daniel Brühl, was briefly halted at the Toronto Film Festival due to a “medical emergency,” as one attendee was carried out of the Roy Thomson Hall on a stretcher.
The screening began at 5:45 p.m. and was interrupted around 7 p.m. as the lights turned on and staff attended to the incident, which took place in the orchestra while the cast and director Howard all stayed seated in the mezzanine.
The condition of the moviegoer is unknown, but the screening resumed at around 7:20 p.m.
“Eden” follows a pair of high-minded Europeans, played by Law and Kirby, who “seek a new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galápagos, only to discover that hell is other people,” according to the logline. As they encounter other island settlers, “nothing will test their mettle more than the challenge of coexisting with desperate neighbours capable of theft, deception, and worse.”
Speaking about the star-studded ensemble cast at Variety’s Toronto Film Festival studio ahead of the premiere, Howard said, “Just watching these scenes come together through their talent and artistry and creative endurance is everything I could’ve hoped for.”
Produced by Howard, Brian Grazer, Karen Lunder, Stuart Ford, William M. Connor and Patrick Newall, “Eden” is one of the hot titles at the Toronto Film Festival, which began Sept. 5 and runs until the 15. The movie will be released by Amazon Prime in Canada but does not yet have a U.S. distributor.
