Tom Cruise stunned hundreds of suburbanites outside the Picture House Theater in Pelham, N.Y. last night when he emerged from a screening and met with fans.
The world’s biggest movie star got up close and personal after a screening of his new wartime drama, “Lions for Lambs,†as he signed autographs and posed for countless pictures.
It was a solo night for Tom, though, as wife Katie Holmes stayed away from the screening and instead took a stroll with baby Suri. (Source: Extra)
Today sees the launch of the Times BFI London Film Festival – two weeks of cinematic heaven…
For the next two weeks the streets of London will be awash with big screen talent, as Tom Cruise, Hale Berry, Naomi Watts, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and more walk the capital’s red carpets.
Among the festival highlights are Robert Redford’s new political thriller Lions for Lambs, Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck going head-to-head in the who-done-it for morons The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan in I’m Not There.
The festival’s at its best when you’re off the main street, so we’re keeping a close eye on talk-radio drama Talk to Me with Don Cheadle, while Interview looks set to really test Sienna Miller’s career and Gulf War movie Redacted brings legend Brian DePalma back on top of his game.
You can lose hours thumbing through the catalogue of screenings, but don’t worry – we’ll be keeping you up to date with all the latest news and reviews.

A star-studded world première and a treasure from the archives are among the highlights of this year’s London Film Festival, writes Sheila Johnston
More voluminous than ever, the London Film Festival catalogue and website represent an intimidating read for anyone trying to plan a viewing strategy. The artistic director, Sandra Hebron, has mopped up most of the big films from Cannes and Venice: recommended among these are Eastern Promises (which opens proceedings on Oct 17), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and I’m Not There. That just leaves dozens of relatively unknown quantities. Here are 10 to watch out for.
Lions for Lambs
Because of its place in the festival calendar, London attracts few major world premières, but this is a 24-carat one: Robert Redford’s contribution to the current wave of films exploring the human consequences of America’s war on terror. Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Redford himself play some of the politicians, journalists and intellectuals whose lives are transformed by hostilities in Afghanistan.

Many world famous film stars including Sophia Loren, Sharon Stone and Tom Cruise will light up this year’s second edition of the Rome Cinema Festival, organizers said Thursday.
Among the starts are also Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley, Halle Berry, Monica Bellucci, Robert Redford and Sean Penn.
Blanchett will be the first to hit the red carpet on Oct. 19 in a reprise of her acclaimed 1998 Elizabeth I portrayal in visionary Indian director Shekhar Kapur’s Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Loren will bring the curtain down on Oct. 27 as she receives a career achievement award, Italian News Agency ANSA said on Thursday.
In between, an array of would-be blockbusters and more arty fare from 40 countries will bid to draw at least as many viewers as the half million spectators the inaugural edition attracted.
Rome’s film-buff mayor Walter Veltroni, who achieved his dream of bringing a major movie event to the Italian capital despite sneers from the cinema establishment and controversy over a clash with the Venice festival, said Thursday, “This year is going to be even better”.
There will be 14 films competing for the top Marcus Aurelius prize, including two Italian films – Carlo Mazzacurati’s “la Giusta Distanza” and Emidio Greco’s “L’Uomo Privato”.
Also in contention are two Spanish films – “Barcelona” and “Una Mapa and Caotica Ana”; “Fugitive Pieces from Canada”; China’s “Li Chun”; and an Iranian-Japanese production, “Hafez”.
Among the festival’s special events are a focus on India with new films such as Anurag Kashyap’s “No Smoking” and a look at new socially and environmentally conscious movies from Hollywood such as Penn’s “Into The Wild”.

LONDON (AFP) – Hollywood stars including Tom Cruise, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are expected to attend the 51st London Film Festival next month, organisers said Thursday.
The trio are due at the world premiere of “Lions For Lambs”, a political thriller directed by Redford and also starring Cruise and Streep which explores the impact of war through entwined plots in Afghanistan and the United States.
The festival — which runs from October 17 to November 1 — will include 184 features and 133 short films from 43 countries around the world. It will also include special strands on new Romanian and French films.
Announcing the line-up, artistic director Sandra Hebron said: “In a very strong year for world cinema, we are delighted to be able to present such a wide-ranging and high quality programme of films and special events”. (Source: Yahoo! News)

Lions For Lambs, the first Tom Cruise vehicle to be released under the actor’s new United Artists banner, has been confirmed as the opening night movie at this year’s Los Angeles international film festival. The film, which premieres on November 1, looks set to spark controversy with its tale of military heroism in Afghanistan and political cowardice in Washington. Lions For Lambs stars Cruise alongside Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Inevitably a great deal is riding on the project. It is the actor’s first picture since being abruptly dropped by Paramount last year, reportedly over his Scientologist beliefs. (Guardian)
