Movie Premieres

After an exciting few days in France for the Cannes Film Festival, Isla Fisher was back in NYC today for the premiere of her new movie Now You See Me (out Aug. 29). She was joined by some of the esteemed actors in the mostly-male cast, including Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo, who brought along his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their three young children. In the film, Isla, Jesse, Woody and Dave Franco are a magic group act who steal money from corrupt business leaders and return it to their audiences during their acts. Meanwhile the FBI is trying to catch them and work out how they’ve been pulling off their daring heists.

Isla’s appearance in NYC today means she’ll be absent from tonight’s Sydney premiere of The Great Gatsby, which will still have a huge star presence thanks to Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki, and filmmakers Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, along with a host of local talent.

Matt Damon joined up with his Behind the Candelabra co-star Michael Douglas to premiere their new film at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday. The two actors are screening their HBO project in the South of France before it officially hits the small screen in the US on Sunday, May 26. Earlier in the day, Matt and Michael attended a photo call and a press conference. They have been doing quite a bit of press for the biopic, which follows Liberace, played by Michael, and his young lover, played by Matt. Naturally, a story about a couple had to involve love scenes, and Michael revealed in a recent interview he wasn't exactly put off by the idea of kissing one of America's best-looking actors. He said, "As far as making out with Matt, it’s not so bad. We rehearsed the scenes. For me, I guess the biggest thrill is, when I first saw it, after a few minutes, I really forget it’s Matt. Matt and Mike, you know? I just forget it’s us."

Matt is in Cannes after wrapping up filming for his upcoming film with George Clooney, The Monuments Men, in Germany. The pair celebrated finishing the film by having a boys weekend at George's Lake Como estate earlier this month.

It was a wild reunion for the cast of The Hangover at the premiere of the franchise's third instalment in LA today. Bradley Cooper broke from the NYC set of American Hustle to attend the big event alongside Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. The trio showed love for their co-star Ken Jeong and the waiting fans, many of whom Bradley stopped to snap pictures with before heading into the screening. The ladies of the Hangover trilogy, including Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Gillian Vigman and Jamie Chung all hit the red carpet as well to celebrate the film's release, which is out in Australia on May 23.

Marion Cotillard got dressed up in a Dior gown to join her co-stars Zoe Saldana, in Valentino, and Clive Owen and director Guillaume Canet on the Cannes red carpet for the premiere of their film Blood Ties yesterday evening. It was a busy day for the crew since they got together for a photo call and press conference at the film festival in the morning. Marion and her partner, Guillaume, who directed her in Blood Ties, were able to sneak in a kiss while celebrating the film together. Missing from the action was Mila Kunis, who is also in the film but currently stationed in London shooting Jupiter Ascending.

Marion has been making the rounds in France since last week, stepping out for the Chopard lunch on Friday and making a fashionable stop in Monaco to fulfil her duties as the face of Dior at the brand's cruise collection runway show on Saturday.

A Marchesa-clad Jessica Biel joined her husband Justin Timberlake at his Inside Llewyn Davis premiere in Cannes today. The pair showed PDA as Justin wrapped his arms around his wife while walking the carpet. Along with Jessica, Justin was accompanied by the film's leading lady, Carey Mulligan, who wore a stunning Vionnet number for the big event. The red carpet was a couple's affair as L'Wren Scott-clad Nicole Kidman was accompanied by doting husband, Keith Urban, and Kirsten Dunst, who wore a Michael van der Ham gown, stepped out in support of boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, who stars alongside Justin and Carey in the film.

Jessica popped up in Cannes after making a fashionable stop in Monaco. She took a front row seat at Dior's runway show along with Marion Cotillard yesterday. Her husband has kept equally busy since he attended the photo call and press conference for his Inside Llewyn Davis alongside Carey and his crew and also showed support for Spinning Gold on the festival's opening day last week.

Jennifer Lawrence dressed up in a Dior gown to hit the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the Jimmy P.: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian premiere last night. She was joined by her Catching Fire crew: Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and director Francis Lawrence. Also in attendance to show their support for Jimmy P., which stars Benicio del Toro, were Calvin Klein-clad Doutzen Kroes; Eva Longoria, who wore Atelier Versace; and Jane Fonda. Steven Spielberg, who is serving as one of the jurors at this year's festival, was joined by wife Kate Capshaw for the glamorous event at the Palais des Festivals.

It was quite the day for Jennifer and her men, who were busy promoting their own film in Cannes in the morning. Jennifer, Liam and Sam posed for a Catching Fire photo call after Liam hit the town on Saturday night for the Belvedere bash.

Emma Watson and The Bling Ring cast premiered their film at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France yesterday. Emma wore a red Christopher Kane ensemble to the photo call for the film earlier in the day, but changed into a Chanel Couture black and white gown for the red carpet bash. She also donned a simple black dress when she attended The Bling Ring press conference. Emma was joined at all of the events by her co-stars costars Claire Julien, Katie Chang and Taissa Farmiga, and director Sofia Coppola. The film premiered at the festival today, but won't hit Australian cinemas until July 25. It was an important screening for Sofia, who was famously booed at the festival in 2006 after she premiered Marie Antoinette.

Emma, Sofia and their crew are hardly the only stars who are promoting their new flicks at the festival. Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan kicked off the week-long event on Wednesday when they screened The Great Gatsby at the Cannes Film Festival 2013 opening ceremony. Other stars like Julianne Moore and judge Nicole Kidman also walked the red carpet at the opening bash.

Tom Cruise supported his fellow action stars when he dropped by the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere in LA yesterday. He met up with director J.J. Abrams at the after party at AV nightclub and chatted with Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey. Meanwhile, the film's star Zoe Saldana created a buzz of her own when she walked the grey carpet in a sheer Rodarte dress. She later met up with an Alberta Ferretti-clad Kate Beckinsale inside the event, as well as her co-stars Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. Jennifer Morrison created a red carpet moment when she dropped by the premiere while wearing an Edition by Georges Chakra powder blue jumpsuit. Also in attendance was Zoe's co-star Alice Eve, who previously told us that she had trouble keeping all the secrets about the Star Trek script to herself.

It was a big night in France as the Cannes Film Festival kicked off with the opening ceremony and the premiere of The Great Gatsby! Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Debicki (in Alex Perry) and Tobey Maguire all hit the red carpet after dressing up for a photo call to promote their film, which is at the festival out of competition, earlier yesterday. Cindy Crawford also showed her support in a white Roberto Cavalli gown while Julianne Moore, Freida Pinto, and juror Nicole Kidman walked the red carpet as well — be sure to check out all the glamorous looks from the Great Gatsby premiere.

They aren't the only stars descending on the French Riviera, since Justin Timberlake, Christoph Waltz, Kirsten Dunst and others have already arrived to take part in the film festival fun.

Kate Bosworth showed skin in a backless Miu Miu ensemble for the premiere of her latest film, Black Rock, in Hollywood last night. She was accompanied by her co-stars Lake Bell and Katie Aselton for the festivities. Ed Helms also made an appearance at the premiere for the film, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival back in January and will be released in the US next Friday.

It has been a big week for Kate, who jetted back to the West Coast for her premiere following a Met Gala appearance on Tuesday in NYC. Kate donned a pink Balmain dress and was joined by her fiancé, Michael Polish, for fashionable festivities in the Big Apple earlier this week.
