Brad in town to promote Jesse James. He hasn’t looked this hot since Legends of the Fall!
Who knew the Deauville American Film Festival could pull such big names?
Brad & Angelina, Matt Damon, Ben and Casey Affleck, George Clooney, Monica Bellucci and Katie Holmes, are just a few of the big names attending the event.
Starting today and lasting until September 9th, the town of Deauville will play host to the 33rd annual American Film Festival, where this year’s honoree is Michael Douglas. Michael will open the ceremonies today with the screening of his film, King of California, directed by newcomer Mike Cahill.
Deauville, located in Basse Normandie (Calvados), is traditionally associated with its world-class equestrian centers and famous horse races. It is a favorite holiday escape for wealthy Parisians because of its beaches, harbor, and casino (which was the inspiration behind Ian Fleming’s James Bond Casino Royale). With this year’s high celebrity turnout, the city can expect an even more glitzy image than before.
Stars have been arriving at CDG all week, with most of the big names expected this weekend hot off the Venice Film Festival. Many will transfer directly to Deauville, but others such as Matt Damon plan to spend a few nights in Paris. Stars will reside at the Ritz, and the new Fouquet’s Barriere on the Champs Elysees/George V, which is the sister hotel to the Deauville Barriere.
