Julia Roberts & Sean Penn Join Forces at 'Gaslit' New York Premiere - See Red Carpet Pics!

Julia Roberts and Sean Penn are getting fans excited for their new series!

The Oscar winners joined forces on the red carpet at the global premiere of their Starz limited series Gaslit on Monday (April 18) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Julia and Sean were joined by co-stars Dan Stevens, Betty Gilpin, Darby Camp, Allison Tolman, J.C. Mackenzie, Chris Bauer, Patton Oswalt, Nat Faxon, Patrick Walker, and Raphael Sbarge.

Gaslit is “a modern take on Watergate that focuses on the untold stories and forgotten characters of the scandal – from Nixon’s bumbling and opportunistic subordinates to the deranged zealots aiding and abetting their crimes to the tragic whistleblowers who would eventually bring the whole rotten enterprise crashing down. The story will center on Martha Mitchell, played by Julia Roberts. A big personality with an even bigger mouth. Martha is a celebrity Arkansan socialite and wife to Nixon’s loyal Attorney General, John Mitchell, played by Sean Penn. Despite her party affiliation, she’s the first person to publicly sound the alarm on Nixon’s involvement in Watergate, causing both the Presidency and her personal life to unravel.”

The series premieres on April 24.

FYI: Julia is wearing a Gucci outfit and Chopard jewelry. Dan is wearing a Licong Gong outfit. Darby is wearing Markarian.

Charlie Plummer & Nicholas Galitzine Bring 'Share' to Sundance!

Charlie Plummer and Nicholas Galitzine walk the carpet at the premiere of their new movie Share during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 25) at the Library Center Theater in Park City, Utah.

The guys were joined at the event by their co-stars, newcomer Rhianne Barreto, as well as Poorna Jagannathan, J.C. MacKenzie, and Lovie Simone. The film’s writer and director Pippa Bianco was also in attendance.

Here is the movie’s synopsis: “After discovering a disturbing video from a night she doesn’t remember, sixteen-year-old Mandy must try to figure out what happened and how to navigate the escalating fallout.”

Nicholas praised the movie on his Instagram account the next day. He wrote, “The screening of SHARE was a joy, if not a little hard to endure. @rhiannebarreto’s performance as Mandy is something special and @aberkofsky ‘s cinematography manages to be claustrophobic yet stylish. Congratulations @pippabianco for helming such a potentially groundbreaking project. You truly are a master of your field and i hope to be able to work with you again in the future. Everyone involved in this project poured their souls into this and I think that is visible in every frame.”
