NBA scoring wiz and proud Canuck Steve Nash is expected on the red carpet at the Isabel Bader theatre at 2:45 p.m. for the premiere of Into the Wind, the doc the Phoenix Suns point guard co-directed the doc about cancer research activist Terry Fox.

Hollywood heavyweights Dustin Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and Minnie Driver strut their stuff at 5:15 p.m. at Roy Thomson Hall for the gala of Barney’s Version – adapted from 1997 novel of late Montreal scribe Mordecai Richler. The invite-only afterparty takes place at the ET Canada Lounge on the parking garage rooftop across from the Hazelton Hotel.

And Star reporter Bruce Demara says Small Town Murder Songs which premiers at 7 p.m. at AMC 6 is a must-see given writer/director Ed Gass-Donnelly’s “fresh take on crime and redemption.” The tale, set in southwestern Ontario Old Order Mennonite country, centres on a police chief with a violent past struggling to bring a killer to justice while seeking reconciliation with his aged father and his own troubled psyche.

If American content is in order, a trio actor-directors should suffice:

Director/star Philip Seymour Hoffman, attends the Jack Goes Boating debut at 12:15 p.m. with actors Amy Ryan, Daphne Rubin-Vega and John Ortiz in tow.

Woody Allen is expected at the Elgin at 5:15 p.m. with the cast of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger - Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and Freida Pinto.

And everybody’s favourite outlaw Clint Eastwood graces the Elgin at 8:15 for Hereafter, along with Matt Damon and Bryce Dallas Howard.
