Premieres, parties, prizes: the week in film
The Joneses is a forthcoming American satire about a seemingly normal family that is really a black-ops marketing tool on a mission to peddle products to the neighbours. Yellow socks! Here are Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore at the film's LA premiere. Which reminds us: we must buy some yellow socks Photograph: BDG/Rex Features Photograph: BDG / Rex Features/guardian.co.uk If the kids are united, they will never be divided (particularly if they are united in killing anyone who dares to try). Kick-Ass stars Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Aaron Johnson mug and gurn for the press in New York Photograph: Lucas Jackson/Reuters Photograph: Lucas Jackson/guardian.co.uk It comes to something when it's left to Ben Stiller and Steve Carrell to provide the gravitas. Here we see the one from Zoolander and the one out of The 40-Year-Old Virgin at the after-party for Date Night. History does not record whether they left together or not Photograph: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Photograph: Stephen Lovekin/guardian.co.uk No such doubt about the relationship between writer David Baddiel and actor Omid Djalili at The Infidel's premiere in London. He's Jewish and he's Muslim. But together they might just make a rainbow Photograph: Max Nash/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Max Nash/guardian.co.uk And there you were thinking that Avatar was a big, dumb, popcorn flick about giant blue space aliens. Turns out it's actually a big, dumb, popcorn flick about indigenous people and environmental conservation. Director James Cameron hugs indigenous leaders from the Amazon after squiring his film to the International Forum on Sustainability in Manaus, Brazil. Cameron is second – no, wait, third – from the left Photograph: Marcio James/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: MARCIO JAMES/guardian.co.uk Like Dorian Gray, Twilight star Robert Pattinson has a picture in the attic that shows him as he really is: all parched and old and cadaverous. But we'll look at that another week. In the meantime, this is him on the set of Bel Ami in Budapest Photograph: Bea Kallos/EPA Photograph: Bea Kallos/guardian.co.uk What else from the week? Until recently, it seemed unlikely that even the citizens of Suffolk County were aware of the UGG and Suffolk County Film Commission. And yet here it is, attracting a gallery of stars for Paper Man's after-party. And Jeff Daniels and Mike Myers, too Photograph: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Photograph: Stephen Lovekin/guardian.co.uk Nor, one suspects, were many denizens of Beaune ("a large town in the Cote d'Or, Burgundy", according to Wikipedia) aware that they had bona fide film festival unspooling under their very noses. And then Samuel L Jackson turned up to set them straight Photograph: Jeff Pachoud/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Jeff Pachoud/guardian.co.uk British director and producer Hugh Hudson has known triumph (Chariots of Fire) and he has known disaster (Revolution and I Dreamed of Africa). And this week he knew triumph again. Here he is, clutching an honorary award (known as the Kristian) at the Febiofest film festival in Prague Photograph: Michal Dolezal/AP Photograph: MICHAL DOLEZAL/guardian.co.uk But it's been a bad week for Sir Ben Kingsley, seen here being mugged by some hoodie or other. Actually, hang on: it's really a still for an Oxfam short he's been shooting in support of the "Robin Hood tax" on banks. He's so convincing an actor that we were momentarily taken in Photograph: Oxfam/PA Photograph: Oxfam/guardian.co.uk
