Brad Pitt is among the stars coming to the Toronto International Film Festival.

There’s a Kate and a Kathy, an Emilio and an Emma, two Christians and a Yoko and Ziyi. Oh, and then there’s Brad.

The Toronto International Film Festival announced Tuesday the list of celebrities scheduled to descend on the city next month to promote their films.

Among the Hollywood heavyweights who will walk the red carpet from Sept. 7 to 16 are Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, Joan Allen, and Morgan Freeman.

The UK is well represented with appearances by Sir Anthony Hopkins, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Peter O’Toole. So is the Penn family – both Sean and wife Robin Wright Penn will make a return visit to the TIFF.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will be in town along with Yoko Ono and Wyclef Jean. Matt Damon doesn't have a film at the festival but will be in town to host a charity event. Also in town at the same time are John Travolta, Queen Latifah, and Samuel L. Jackson.
