The Tokyo International Film Festival has named its 15-title Gala selection, headlined by Fan Bingbing in Wayne Wang’s “Diary of a Mad Old Man,” Pedro Pascal in Tony Gilroy’s “Behemoth!,” John Malkovich in Martin McDonagh’s “Wild Horse Nine” and Javier Bardem in Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s “The Beloved.”

Wang’s film adapts Tanizaki Junichiro’s novel of the same name, relocating the story to present-day Tokyo, with Fan starring opposite Lily Franky and Kudoh Youki. Gilroy’s “Behemoth!” casts Pascal as a cellist alongside Olivia Wilde and Eva Victor.
