Following a daytime photocall and press conference, the stars of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” changed into their eveningwear and hit up the Cannes premiere of their action/adventure flick.
Among those showing off their style on the red carpet were co-stars Cate Blanchett and Harrison Ford, who was accompanied by his actress wife Calista Flockhart.
Grabbing the Cannes spotlight on what was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the stars on the new Indiana Jones movie were on hand for their movie’s photocall earlier today.
Among those greeting press and fans while posing on the film festival’s stage were Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and director Steven Spielberg.
Reclusive cult novelist J.D. Salinger hated fun. In a 1981 letter to his then-ladyfriend, he wrote: "I got hooked into seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, which might be excused for its unwitty, unfunny awful socko-ness if it had been put together by Harvard Lampoon seniors." Jeez, J.D.. Not since Pynchon trashed Return of the Jedi in Vineland have we been so shocked by a reclusive novelist's distaste for classic '80s blockbusters. [Sly Oyster]
There’s no doubt that filming movies can be grueling work. All too often, celebrities over-extend themselves for a film, and the consequences can be severe. Jennifer Garner knows this first-hand, as she was hospitalized twice while filming “The Kingdom.”
The Arizona desert was the scene for the Alias star’s health complications. During the filming last year, temperatures rose to 140 degrees, and that made things tough for the new mother.
The upcoming release of The Kingdom is sure to attract the fan base that Jennifer Garner developed while appearing as Sydney Bristow in the hit TV drama Alias. Cast as another secret agent out to save the world, Jennifer is able to once again prove that she can still kick butt and look like a model on the catwalk at the same time.
In discussing the behind-the-scenes adventures of the new movie, Jennifer explained that she had signed on to the project with the expectation that it would require minimal stunt work. However, she quickly discovered that director Peter Berg had a very different artistic approach to the project.
