Doesn’t that sound salacious? Like it belongs on a calendar full of cheesecake photos? Well, that’s not quite what we have here. The American Film Institute has been holding its annual AFI Festival and so there have been quite a few red carpets spread out upon which some very nice gentleman have stepped in the past few nights.

Leonardo Di Caprio, Armie Hammer (doesn’t he just look like he’d make the perfect Prince Charming? His movie now has a title, by the way. Tarsem Singh’s unnamed Snow White Project is now called Mirror, Mirror) as well as director Clint Eastwood all showed up for the premiere of J. Edgar.

Antonio Banderas appeared at the tribute to his friend and frequent director Pedro Almodovar. Not crazy about the haircut, but those eyes still get me.

Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe (who must have a slowly degrading portrait locked in his attic) turned up for a screening of I Melt With You. And Dominic Cooper represented the Y chromosomes for My Week with Marilyn.

Saving the best for last, we have Michael Fassbender and Ewan McGregor who brought the sexy to the stage and sat for a Q & A with director Steven Soderbergh and costar Gina Carrano after the “sneak” screening of Haywire. And then Ralph Fiennes (sadly sans Gerard Butler) showed them both what they have to look forward to in a few years, at the AFI screening of his directorial debut, Coriolanus. (Call me crazy but I love that he was having a bad hair day. Those eyes!)

Enjoy the pics!

There's this crazy new movie with Rob Lowe, Thomas Jane and Jeremy Piven that I just heard about. It's called I Melt with You and at first blush might seem like a darker version of The Hangover or Very Bad Things, but there's something more at work here. (Director Mark Pellington did a great movie a few years ago called Arlington Road with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins that predated 9/11 by two years. It was scary then, it's downright freaky now. Since then he's only done a couple of features (The Mothman Prophecies, Henry Poole Was Here) and has been toiling in the land of music videos.) I watched the trailer for the first time the other day and tried to dismiss it but I can't. It's stayed with me.

The premise is simple: four 40-something college friends meet up for their annual reunion and things start to spiral out of control. The trailer is truly red band and not suitable for work, filled as it is with drugs, drinking and driving,  Consider the boys from The Hangover a decade older and more lost…just plain more everything. 

Check it out below. We've also got a few stills as well.

I Melt with You also stars Christian McKay, Carla Gugino. Sasha Grey and Tom Bower. It had a successful screening at  Sundance last January and will finally get a limited US release on December 9.
