A new movie starring Sean Penn and Jude Law is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, according to festival organizers.

“All the King’s Men,” which also features Kate Winslet and Mark Ruffalo, follows a popular American politician through the dregs of scandal and corruption.

The film is based on a Robert Penn Warren novel, and was previously adapted for the big screen in 1948. The main character, Willie Stark (played by Penn in the new version), is partly based on the infamous Louisiana governor Huey P. Long.

The film festival, which runs from September 7-16, will also feature movies starring the likes of Susan Sarandon, Ralph Fiennes and Ed Harris.
