DE PALMA AT 'HAIL CAESAR!' PRESS SCREENING
WITH JAKE PALTROW, NOAH BAUMBACH & WES ANDERSON IN NEW YORK, ACCORDING TO TWEETS & BLOG REPORT



Meanwhile, Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411 reports that Jake Paltrow also joined his friends for the Coen Brothers screening: "There was no official star studded premiere in New York for Joel & Ethan Coen’s Hail, Caesar!,” states Friedman. "But the 'all media' screening on Tuesday night yielded quite a powerful foursome in the [front] row. This jury of the Coens’ peers included Brian De Palma, Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, & Jake Paltrow sitting together. They went mostly unnoticed, but it’s hard to miss Wes’s hair. And Brian De Palma is not someone you see everyday at a press screening."

PICS - 'MISTRESS AMERICA' NEW YORK PREMIERE
ALSO: DE PALMA AT AUTHORS NIGHT FOR EAST HAMPTON LIBRARY
Brian De Palma was among the guests at the New York premiere of Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig's Mistress America, which took place last Wednesday, August 12, at Landmark Sunshine Cinema. According to Examiner.com, other guests included Jake Paltrow, Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, John Cameron Mitchell, Taylor Hackford, Whit Stilman, Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, Salman Rushdie, James Murphy, Griffin Dunne, Saffron Burrows, and Wallace Shawn.

Following the screening, the filmmakers and guests headed to the after party at The Boom Boom Room at Top of the Standard. The pictures at left were taken at the party by Marion Curtis, and are posted at StarTraks Photo. In the top two photos: Jake Paltrow, Brian De Palma, Noah Baumbach, and Wes Anderson together. The middle photo (#3): Saffron Burrows and De Palma. The fourth photo is of Jake Paltrow and his wife Taryn Simon (the latter is the artist who took the photo that appears at the end of De Palma's Redacted). And the last photo is, of course, Baumbach and De Palma.

The morning after this party, it was announced that De Palma would be honored with the Glory to the Filmmaker Award at next month's Venice Film Festival, with the world premiere of the Baumbach and Paltrow documentary on De Palma to follow immediately afterward.

A few days before the Baumbach premiere, Sonia Moskowitz snapped this photo (at right) of De Palma and an unnamed friend on August 8, at the Authors Night for the East Hampton Library.

DE PALMA ATTENDED 'FRANCES HA' SCREENING
NOAH BAUMBACH'S LATEST THIS PAST THURSDAY AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
According to the Huffington Post's Regina Weinreich, Brian De Palma was in attendance this past Thursday for a special screening of his friend Noah Baumbach's latest film, Frances Ha, which was written with Greta Gerwig, who stars in the film. The screening took place at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Others at the screening included Ben Stiller (a regular collaborator of Baumbach's), Mike Nichols, Diane Sawyer, Ann Roth, David Chase, and Sting (whose daughter, Mickey Sumner, plays Gerwig's best friend in the film). Baumbach and Gerwig have been doing a lot of print promotion for the film, with a big interview story in the April 29 issue of The New Yorker, as well as a New York Times article, and another profile in the May 17 issue of Entertainment Weekly.

DE PALMA AT LOVE CHILD PARTY
FOR ALLEGRA HUSTON MEMOIR IN NY
Liz Smith spotted Brian De Palma at "a recent bash for the Literati and Glitterati downtown on the East Side" of New York City. The party was for a new memoir by Allegra Huston, stepdaughter of director/actor John Huston, called Love Child. Also attending, among many others, was novelist Salmon Rushdie, who was photographed with De Palma and Tom Tykwer last February at the New York premiere of Tywer's The International.

DE PALMA AT NY INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
PICTURED WITH TYKWER & RUSHDIE AT GUGGENHEIM
After all that talk comparing these directors' set pieces-- Pictured here from left-to-right are director Tom Tykwer, Brian De Palma, and novelist Salmon Rushdie at the Guggenheimer Museum afterparty which followed the New York premiere of Tykwer's The International on February 9 2009. Variety posted the photo, which was snapped by Dave Allocca for StarTraksPhoto.
(Thanks to Patrick for sending it along!)

I saw The International opening weekend and loved it-- a very satisfying motion picture with a poetic sense of paranoia and more than a few highly involving sequences of tense action. The ending is beautifully set up and executed (pun intended) as a dead perfect bit of irony. Tykwer has made a studio action picture that keeps his stamp and keeps us wondering what he will do next.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty, Clive Owen says that Tykwer had a "little film festival" of '70s conspiracy thrillers to get everybody in the right mood...

We watched those [The Parallax View and Three Days Of The Condor], The Conversation, The French Connection. When I did Inside Man, Spike Lee did this cool thing where he screened about half a dozen movies. It was a little film festival to get you inspired. Tom Tykwer loved that idea, so we did it on this.
