THE GREY PREMIERE, LA

2012-01-19T14:30:00.014-05:00

On January 11th, Parish PR was back in LA for the premiere of Open Road Films' The Grey, a dramatic thriller starring our beloved Liam Neeson and a posse of rough and rugged mountain men (pictured above with director Joe Carnathan). L-to-R: Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Nonso Anozie, James Badge Dale, Joe Carnathan, Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Ben Hernandez Bray, and Joe Anderson.

The story follows a team of oil drillers stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a horrific plane crash. If that fate wasn't worse enough, the group is hunted by hungry wolves who see them as prey. Not to fear, we think when your leader is Liam Neeson, you know you're going to be in good hands! You'll have to see if we're right when the film opens on January 27th.

Here's a photo of the man himself, wearing a pinstriped suit and grey shirt. Naturally, grey was the color of choice for this premiere from the suits donned by the cast members, all the way to the grey carpet!

A great shot of Maggie Grace in a Yeojin Bae cobalt silk slip dress with a nude, mesh chest panel, nude sky-high pumps, and a Michelle Fantaci for Lauren Merkin clutch.

Blonde beauty Kristen Bell stopped over after the People's Choice Awards (held next door) and debuted her sexy red Valentino dress and Christian Louboutin metal-toed heels. We love this dress because it combines two of our favorites: leather and lace!

Minnie Driver also wore red carpet go-to Christian Louboutins and a one-shouldered dress by Thomas Wylde as she sauntered down the carpet.

James Van Der Beek and a very pregnant wife Kimberly Brooks. We just love her Grecian-inspried plaid dress!

Bon Temp's favorite Sheriff ... aka Chris Bauer from True Blood!

You may know Max Adler as the bully from Glee, but he is anything but! What a nice guy!

Ray Liotta (one of PPR's favorite actors) and his beautiful daughter Karsen. Poor Ray literally had to beat off the crowds as he tried to make his way onto the carpet. Ahh... fame!

Jackson Rathbone is rarely seen with a big grin on his face... but we love it! Why so serious, vampire? Both Jackson and Maggie Grace will star in the upcoming final installment of the Twilight Saga! PS. We loved your vest!

The ever-so-cool Matthew Lillard arrived on the grey carpet with bright green kicks from Saucony.

Chris McDonald arrived in a wooly, black coat.

Here's a few of our favorite candid shots! We love when former cast mates get together for little reunions!

Liam and Maggie who starred together in Taken!

The A-Team (minus Murdock): Face, Hannibal, and B.A. Baracus pose with director Joe Carnathan and producer Jules Daly.

Bradley Cooper and buddy Liam Neeson!

We just love this picture of Joe Carnathan and Bradley Cooper! Judging by the look on Joe's face, Mr. Cooper must have had some seriously kickin' breath! Just kidding, you're a God among Gods, Brad!

Team PPR had a great night at Regal Cinemas at LA Live and enjoyed some well-deserved cocktails afterwards.

Up next for PPR is the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards After-Party with Sony!

RED TAILS WORLD PREMIERE, NYC

2012-01-19T14:21:00.019-05:00

On January 10th, Parish PR had the honor of working with Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm on the World Premiere of Red Tails in NYC. This film, absolutely stacked with American history, was a major event in Hollywood as it featured the first all-black cast in an action film. With such high-profile supporters as President Barack Obama, Oprah and Tyler Perry, this film is making waves in a big way!

What's more, the film pays tribute to the first African American aviators in the history of the US Armed Forces. The Tuskegee Airmen or the Red Tails (as they were later coined due to the red-painted tails of their P-47 airplanes) helped to defeat the German army in WWII. Fortunately enough for us, the living members of the Airmen were in attendance along with the cast and were even escorted to the event in matching red Jeeps.

Vintage WWII-era poster depicting a Tuskegee Airman.

Cast, filmmaker, and Tuskegee Airmen group photo on the carpet.

George Lucas and Mellody Hobson... When you're Mr. Star Wars, you can wear jeans to your premiere.

A reporter talks to Terrence Howard in front of the WWII-era Jeep that was parked at the top of the carpet. Howard looked amazing in his navy blue suit.

Elijah Kelley, David Oyelowo, and Tristan Wilds look like the perfect gentlemen in their crisp suits.

R&B sensation-turned-actor Ne-Yo rocked the carpet in a red double-breasted coat and signature fedora... Red Tails... Red HOT!

Andre Royo wore a checkered suit and retro-inspired glasses. Lookin' sharp Andre!

Marcus T. Paulk wore a double-breasted grey coat and added a pop of red to his look, too.

Method Man aka Cliff Smith looks great all suited up!

Leslie Odom, Jr. wore a red tie as a nod to the film!

Michael B. Jordan in a charcoal suit and trendy white watch.

Nate Parker in a classic black-and-white look... This man exuded sex appeal on the carpet. The ladies loved him!

We nearly died when we saw Lee Tergesen who stars in the film... He also played Terry in Wayne's World! No, seriously, I LOVE you, man!

Director Anthony Hemingway also arrived to the Ziegfeld in a slick red Jeep and wore a statement-making patterned suit.

Here's a look at the other guests:

Dr. Roscoe Brown, former squadron commander of the Red Tails and Congressional Gold Medal recipient, was in charge of shooting down the German Me-262 jet fighter.

James Earl Jones... I mean Mufasa... I mean Darth Vader... anyway, the world's most famous voice showed up and naturally commanded the carpet like the Hollywood hero that he is... I am your father!

Tika Sumpter wowed us all with her avant-garde, mosaic strapless mini by our friend Nicole Miller and purple heels.

The adorable and super-sweet Tia Mowry arrived in a nude SIC Couture dress and nude Brian Atwood ankle-strapped heels.

Al Roker and wife Deborah Roberts were picture perfect in coordinating charcoal grey looks.

Also in monochromatic grey was our pal Giancarlo Esposito!

Wendi Murdoch and Tamara Mellon made quite the pair!

Spike Lee and and Tonya Lewis showed up for the event, too!

Kimberly Locke arrived looking radiant in her raven-colored poncho.

The Godfather himself, Francis Ford Coppola, joined us on the carpet, too.

Chris Benz with his signature pink hair!

Stephen Baldwin in a brown suit with his classic SB red carpet stare.

The Tuskegee Airmen in 1944

The Tuskegee Airmen in 2012

The after party and reception honoring The Tuskegee Airmen was held at Gotham Hall immediately after the screening.

Here's a look at who came out to support!

Cuba Gooding, Jr. posed with Nancy Colon and Samuel L. Jackson at the after party.

Aaron Carter, who penned some of our all-time favorite rap lyrics (then walked in the girl I'm crushin' and the kid spilled juice on my mom's new cushion) also joined us at the after party! My, how you've grown!

And now, for the grand finale, here's a little segment from the after party that we like to call, Cuba and Terrence... A Love Story:

We can only imagine what's going through Spike Lee's mind at this very moment!

As you can see, it was a great night for all, and we were so proud and honored to be in such great company!

Stay tuned for the scoop on The Grey premiere in LA, up next!

HAYWIRE PREMIERE, LA

2012-01-19T11:52:00.018-05:00

On January 5th, Parish PR was out in LA to celebrate the long-awaited premiere of Relativity Media's HAYWIRE. This film is near and dear to our heart as we are a team of ass-kicking women ourselves, and we got so spend time with leading lady and professional ass-kicker Gina Carano and director Steven Soderbergh during an exclusive NYC screening back in November.

We were particularly excited for Ms. Carano, as this is her first Hollywood premiere and her first acting role EVER! You wouldn't know based on her performance in the film... but you would guess that she's a rough and rugged MMA fighter extraordinaire! Check out these photos from the night!

The Haywire cast poses with director Steven Soderbergh. L-to-R: Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas, Steven Soderbergh, Gina Carano, and Ewan McGregor.

Co-stars Channing Tatum and Gina Carano pose for the press. You wouldn't think they'd be friends after Gina knocked him around the entire movie!

Gina poses with a very excited George St. Pierre, also a fellow ass-kicking MMA fighter! Gina wore a form-fitting Fall/Winter 2011 Monique Lhuillier halter lace gown and swept her hair back in a gloriously messy up-do. Work it, girl!

Here's a closer look at Gina's coral chandelier earrings by Neil Lane.

Mr. Sex Appeal signs posters for his adoring fans. Dear guy in the top left, we don't blame you, that photo is H-O-T! Love, PPR.

Antonio Banderas and wife Melanie Griffith rock the monochromatic look in ass-kicking black leather.

One of our favorite Scotsmen, Ewan McGregor, added a punch of color to his black leather-sleeved coat from Neil Barrett with a poshly-tied light grey scarf.

The gorgeous Mrs. Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan, wore a lacy knee-length dress by Dolce & Gabbana, black Jimmy Choos, and a Judith Leiber clutch.

Natascha Berg rocked a black deep V-necked dress and accentuated her tiny waist with a belt. Our favorite part of the look was her shoes!

You can get these sweet satin pumps from Michael Antonio for just $39! Thanks DSW for the great steal!

Golden Globe winner Octavia Spencer got fierce with a leopard print clutch.

Joe Manganiello, television's sexiest werewolf, taught us some Italian on the carpet... well, Joe, here's our message for you: vuoi essere il mio ragazzo, amore mio? Mille baci per te!

Adam Rodriguez looking fresh in black leather and a fringed scarf.

Gilles "Dimples" Marini also joined in the red carpet fun!

Michael Jai White, actor and fellow martial artist.

Dominic Monaghan, everyone's favorite hobbit Merry, looks anything but hobbit-like! That's what we like to call dapper, Dominic!

Chris McDonald expertly color coordinated his tie and pocket square to match his eyes!

Sasha Grey shines in her gold mini dress.

Johnny Whitworth hams it up for the camera... swoon!

Matthew Bomer (a PPR office favorite) looks deadly in his navy blue suit.

Either Steven Soderbergh is giving interviews, OR these girls just really want his number!

Here's a few of our favorite snapshots from the after party at the DGA Theater lobby:

Bill Paxton and Gina Carano share a welcoming embrace.

Relativity Media CEO Ryan Kavanaugh greets Gene Simmons and his wife Shannon.

A Clark Kent-esque Matthew Bomer mingled with big man Joe Manganiello.

Channing Tatum gets cozy with some custom made Haywire pillows.

Yummy after party treats.

And now, a word from our sponsor...

Gorgeous shot of the chandelier in the center of the room.

Join the conversation! #HaywireFilm @GoHaywire!

We're big fans of the movie at PPR and encourage you to take some kick-ass friends with you to see it... In theaters NOW!

Coming Soon: John Carter, LA

2012-01-18T17:34:00.006-05:00

As previously mentioned, February is quite the month for back-and-forth travel from the East to West Coast! Good thing we love flying with our pals Virgin America! After our This Means War premiere with Twentieth Century Fox, we'll be working with Team Disneyfor the epic premiere of John Carter.

We have to say, we weren't 100% familiar with the book series until recently, as we weren't big sci-fi buffs growing up.. However, we've come to find that this 100 year old book by Edgar Rice Burroughs is all the rage! Where have we been!?

The films stars the uber-sexy Taylor Kitsch, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston and Dominic West (both Golden Globe nominees this year!), Willem Dafoe, and Thomas Haden Church. Here's a little background info, right from the horse's mouth (Kitsch's figuratively speaking):

“… Carter is a man who has lost everything he ever cared about. He comes back from the Civil War to find his wife and child dead. He basically goes into this recluse mode of living and is driven to mine for gold. It’s like a Band-Aid solution — he’s covering up what he hasn’t dealt with, the guilt and the loss of his family, whom he went to war to protect. He has a fear of taking responsibility again and that’s what he’s fighting through the whole movie. He lands in the Civil War [on Mars] between Helium and Zodanga. He’s on Mars but their conflict is incredibly relatable for him, so he just wants nothing to do with it…”

How does he land on Mars, you ask? We're not entirely sure, but that's why you should go see the film! What's not to love? Creepy things, a sexy strong main character, and mesmerizing special effects!

Speaking of creepy things... we found a still of this little guy, Woola. How adorable!

“… [Also] I’m telling you, [the Martian dog] Woola will steal this movie… He’s loud and awkward, like a puppy in a sense. If anyone has an animal or has had an animal growing up, they know that there are so many things that you do with an animal that you don’t do in a relationship with another human. Eventually, John lets his guard down quite a bit and I love that because it makes those moments with Woola quite great.”

We're very excited to be working on this project and getting our sci-fi education on point! Check out the trailer here and join in the excitement!

Coming Soon: This Means War, LA

2012-01-18T17:22:00.003-05:00

Parish PR is definitely workin' the bi-coastal angle in February and will be back in LA (byebye winter) for the premiere of Twentieth Century Fox's This Means War. The film stars two Hollywood hunks Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, who play the CIA's best spies/best friends and happen to be falling for the same girl... Poor Reese Witherspoon...What's a girl to do? Call in sassy sidekick Chelsea Handler, and hilarity, gun fights and big explosions ensue! I mean, does this happen to anyone in real life? Oh well, I guess that's why we love the magic of the movies! See you in our dreams Tom Hardy!

Be sure to check out the trailer here... who do you think will win??

Coming Soon: Act of Valor Premiere, LA

2012-01-11T17:34:00.014-05:00

We love working with the team at Relativity, and we're particularly excited about this premiere.. Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the-minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure. The film takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the world.

On premiere night in West Hollywood, the cast, which includes Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Nestor Serrano and Emilio Rivera, will proudly walk the red carpet alongside eight active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs.

Check out the film in theatres February 24^th.

Coming Soon: One for the Money Premiere, NYC

2011-12-30T10:56:00.006-05:00

On January 24th, Parish PR will be back in NYC to work with new client, Lionsgate on the premiere of One for the Money starring Katherine Heigl and Jason O'Mara! Nicola is particularly excited about this one as Jason is a Dubliner too!

Based on the best-selling book by Janet Evanovich, One for the Money tells the tale of newly-divorced and unemployed Stephanie Plum (Heigl) who begins working at her cousin's bail-bond business. She finds herself in a predicament when she's assigned to track down a wanted cop (O'Mara) who she used to be romantically involved with.

We heard President Bill Clinton is a fan Evanovich and is one of many anticipating the release of the film! Perhaps we'll see him at the premiere? Check back after the 24th to find out! In the meantime, take a look at the trailer here!

EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE PREMIERE, NYC

2011-12-26T14:55:00.007-05:00

On Thursday, Dec. 15th team Parish PR wrapped up a long two weeks of premiere madness with Warner Bros.' Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.' This was the third premiere of the week where the film was based on a book! We Bought a Zoo (written by Benjamin Mee), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (written by Stieg Larsson) and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (written by Jonathan Safran Foer) were all beautifully adapted to film and we had the pleasure of welcoming each film to the big screen!

The film's cast featured the talents of Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, and young Thomas Horn who you may know as the 12-year-old who won Jeopardy! It's a pity that Robin Wright couldn't stick around after the Dragon Tattoo premiere the night before, because we would have died to see a Forrest Gump reunion on the carpet! Not to worry, Sandy B. made quite a splash at her arrival and completely stole the show! She looks radiant, doesn't she?

Sandra wore a stunning Spring 2012 Alexander McQueen black satin two-piece suit, black Casadei platform pumps, and accessorized with a black stingray belt, metallic clutch, and chunky cocktail rings. Stick-straight ombré hair and smokey eyes with berry lips completed the look. This was one of our favorite ensembles of the week!

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson also looked quite stunning. Mrs. Tom Hanks is a beauty, that's for sure!

Cast member Viola Davis returned to the Ziegfeld, this time wearing pink! The beauty wore a Spring 2012 Raoul floor length gown with leather trim along the neckline. The color really made her skin look luminous!

Ladies and gents, we'd like to introduce you to the darling Sam Kaufman! As a first-timer on the carpet, Sam was quite nervous, but as you can see, he certainly warmed up to it and didn't want the night to end! We love this picture, and he was so much fun to watch as he came alive in front of the cameras!

We had some other fun guests on the carpet that included:

The fabulous Isaac Mizrahi

Our girl Gabourey Sidibe

Joe Pantoliano and those boots!

After the carpet emptied and the guests filtered into the Ziegfeld, an Extremely Hungry & Incredibly Tired PPR team went to one of our fav spots in the West Village, Dublin6, and had a quiet dinner and a few drinks (of course)! It was a great way to wrap up the 2-week premiere marathon. Nothing like some steak and a Stella to bring you back to life! After dinner we headed home and prepared for some serious R&R over the weekend. Although 8 premieres in 2 weeks took a lot out of us, we're totally ready to do it again! Bring. It. On.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO PREMIERE, NYC

2011-12-26T14:47:00.011-05:00

On December 14th we worked with our friends over at Columbia Pictures to the Ziegfeld Theater (our second home for the week) for the NYC premiere of director David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. We had been so excited to work on this premiere for the last few months, and finally the time arrived to lay eyes on the incredible Daniel Craig and break-out star Rooney Mara.

The carpet was abuzz with excitement and anticipation for the long-awaited premiere of the film. The energy inside the tent was magnetic as the press were eager to capture the arrivals of the cast and celebrity guests. The carpet was decorated with frosted trees (see below) and framed art inspired by the film. Really nice touch from 1540 Productions.

For the NYC premiere, Rooney channelled the goth-punk style of her Dragon Tattoo character Lisbeth Salander. The leading lady wore a black silk-crepe Spring 2012 Prabal Gurung cut-out dress with open back and flutter sleeves. This was definitely our favorite look of the evening, if not the week, and she totally rocked it head-to-toe!

Rooney rocked flawless, creamy skin, cherry red lips, and gorgeously slicked back hair which worked really well with the complexity of her dress. She paired the dress with black Mary-Jane platform heels by red carpet favorite Christian Louboutin.

Daniel Craig looked sharp in a black suit that really drew attention to his soul-piercing blue eyes. It was amazing to see his reception on the carpet as he's an icon to men as James Bond, and makes women weak in the knees. The photographers absolutely loved him... I mean, what's not to love?!

Here's a look at the rest of the cast of this amazing film:

Yorick Van Wageningen

Robin Wright

Christopher Plummer and wife Elaine Taylor

Stellan Skarsgard

Embeth Davidtz

Joely Richardson

Costume designer Trish Summerville who also developed a Dragon Tattoo line for H&M!

Kate Mara came to support her sister in a flirty Christian Dior dress, paired with Alexander McQueen bracelet, Miu Miu clutch and Brian Atwood pumps.

Taraji P. Henson also attended wearing a form-fitting black leather dress by Hervé L. Laroux.

Viola Davis stepped out for the night even though her own premiere was the following night! She wore a soft gray Giorgio Armani dress with Salvatore Ferragamo pumps and clutch.

Other guests included:

Aisha Tyler

Michael Michele

Anthony Edwards

Carroll Baker

Nicole Miller

Tony Danza

Adam Richman

John Scurti

Saul Rubinek

Martha Stewart also came out to support Rooney as Stewart's a long-time friend of the Mara family. Unfortunately, she arrived fashionably late and missed the carpet! We were glad she could make it anyway.

Following the red carpet fun, the PPR team made our way to Connolly's... our favorite post-Ziegfeld watering hole. There we enjoyed yummy chicken fingers, quesadillas, french fries and perhaps a few cocktails. The night ended in a very spirited rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You"!

Morning came way too soon and we were feeling the pain of our 2-week premiere marathon. Not to worry, team PPR pulled it together and was back at the Ziegfeld for our final premiere of the week, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

THE IRON LADY PREMIERE, NYC

2011-12-26T14:46:00.012-05:00

Following the We Bought A Zoo premiere, Parish PR was back at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC for Meryl Streep's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the premiere of The Iron Lady with The Weinstein Company. Pictured above is the impeccable Meryl wearing Fall 2011 Stella McCartney... we love that she maintained the British influence of the film!

Taking a break from the red carpet, team PPR teamed up with LA-based Swisher Productions to handle logistics for the premiere. Although considerably less glamorous, we're certainly more than pretty faces at Parish PR, and loved to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the carpet. We particularly enjoyed taming the beast that is the Ziegfeld Theatre (ticketing and seating an 1,131-seat theater), being in the projection booth calling the film's start after Harvey Weinstein and director Phyllida Lloyd introduced the film, and getting to meet all our guests at will-call. As much as we love the carpet, we thoroughly enjoyed working behind-the-scenes. Let's just say we're PR Ninjas and can handle it all (ahem, shameless self promotion!)

However, we can't leave our fans without a little taste of the red carpet action, so here it is!

Rachel Roy, how we love you and your impeccable style!

Anne Hathaway in a very simplistic LBD for the carpet... We think her flawless porcelain skin was her best accessory!

Patricia Clarkson getting fierce with leopard shoes! Rawwr!

A bundled up Vera Farmiga and Renn Hawkey.

Olivia Wilde in Dolce & Gabbana and leopard pumps.

The adorable Zac Posen and model friend.

Director Sofia Coppola... che bella signora!

Mr. Alan Cumming in a wooly monochromatic ensemble.

Behold the Gummer sisters... Meryl's gorgeous daughters Mamie, Grace and Louisa! Eat your hearts out Kardashians!

The after party was held at the Royalton Hotel where guests were treated to complimentary Salvatore Ferragamo perfume and popped bottles of Vueve Clicquot into the wee hours of the morning. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the Royalton:

Overall scene inside the Royalton lobby.

Snapshot of model Coco Rocha (wearing Zac Posen) taken by fellow model/friend Behati Prinsloo! Amaze!

Stay tuned for more from our marathon premiere week! Up next is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

WE BOUGHT A ZOO PREMIERE, NYC

2011-12-26T14:45:00.011-05:00

Did you get a zoo for Christmas this year? This family did! On December 12th Parish PR was at their first of four premieres for the week, and what better way to kick it off than with Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson at the NYC premiere of We Bought a Zoo!

Based on the non-fiction book, the story of the Mee family is a heart-warming tale brought to life by the incredible vision of director Cameron Crowe.

Author Benjamin Mee and real-life family were in attendance at the event. Check them out below!

We expected some wildlife on the carpet, but what we got was a menagerie of Hollywood stars and starlets (not to mention PETA protesters stationed amongst the fans across the street from the Ziegfeld). As always, Damon and wife Luciana were pictures of perfection.

Damon, still sans his luscious mane, and the Mrs. posed on the carpet followed by ScarJo, who was greeted by her mother. She then made her way in to the barrage of photographers screaming her name. It's no wonder, because she looked phenomenal!

Dressed up in Spring 2012 Dolce & Gabbana, Scarlett rocked the carpet looking elegantly retro-chic. The cropped bustier top and matching high-waist skirt complimented her hour-glass shape and her Jimmy Choo Greta sandals added that touch of sex appeal that every starlet needs on the night of their premiere! She accessorized the look with Fred Leighton jewels, bubblegum pink lips, shimmery blue rimmed eyes, and a perfectly coiffed pin-up hairstyle.

Hollywood It-Girl-in-training, Elle Fanning, also arrived looking perfectly posh and age-appropriate (Noah Cyrus, please take note). Ms. Fanning wore a Spring 2012 Louis Vuitton organza structured dress with laser cut paneling. She wore matching Louis Vuitton shoes, which we didn't exactly love, but thought she held herself with such poise and maturity that we let it slide! We can't wait to see where her budding acting career will take her... look out Dakota, she's on to you!

Other cast members in attendance were:

The ADORABLE Maggie Elizabeth Jones, who requested a stretch limo to bring her to the premiere! LOVE it!

John Michael Higgins

Patrick Fugit

Thomas Haden Church

Jónsi Birgisson, lead singer of the band Sigur Rós, was also in attendance with his mother and boyfriend Alex Somers. Having composed his first motion-picture soundtrack, he made a shy debut on the carpet... This man is seriously a musical genius! Please bear with us in this shameless promotion... Katie is a long-time fan of his work, and was elated to escort him in his first red carpet experience! Check out the soundtrack here!

Parish PR also had the pleasure of escorting these familiar faces:

Sylvia Miles

Dylan Baker

Wendi Deng aka Mrs. Murdoch

Parker Posey

Chazz Palminteri

It was a fun night with 20th Century Fox and all the other teams that made the night a success. Unfortunately we didn't get to party it up after the event as we usually would... It was back to the office for us as we had lots to do in preparation for The Iron Lady the following evening. Keep reading for the scoop on Meryl Streep and our insane week of premieres!

COMING SOON: The Grey Premiere, LA

2011-12-09T15:28:00.006-05:00

ParishPR will be working West Coast style a lot this coming January... What a great way to kick off 2012! After the Haywire premiere, we'll be working Liam Neeson's latest thriller The Grey. Alongside Mr. Neeson, the film stars Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, James Badge Dale, Joe Anderson, and Nonso Anozie.

Here's the official synopsis:

A group of oil-rig roughnecks are left stranded on the sub-arctic tundra after their plane experiences a complete mechanical failure and crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. The survivors, battling moral injuries, biting cold and ravenous hunger, are relentlessly hunted and pursued by a vicious pack of rogue wolves.

Sounds awesome to us! Can't wait to see Liam Neeson on the big screen again, he's a ParishPR fav!

Check out the trailer here!

We had the pleasure of meeting both Steven and Gina at an exclusive screening of the film here in NYC in November. Great, wonderfully talented people!

Following a very successful night with Brad and Angie, Team Parish PR switched gears and worked the carpet at Clearview Chelsea Cinemas for Jonah Hill's new comedy, The Sitter.

IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY - NYC PREMIERE

2011-12-08T10:29:00.006-05:00

On Monday night, Parish PR was at the NYC Premiere of Ms. Angelina Jolie's new film In the Land of Blood and Honey held at the SVA Theatre in Chelsea. This was her directorial debut and although she was on the other side of the camera for this one, she still managed to steal the show.

Angelina and hubby Brad Pitt arrived with Brad's parents Bill and Jane, and Angie's brother James Haven. Upon stepping out of her car, Angie made a beeline straight for our favorite fan, Radio Man, who was there to greet them. After a quick handshake, Brad and Angie headed in to the red carpet mania!

Angelina graced the carpet in a billowing black top by Joseph with her shoulders peeking out to expose her famous tattoos. She paired the blouse with a long black skirt by Ralph Lauren, shoes by Cole Haan, and gorgeous gold jewelry by Ofira. To complete the look she wore her hair down with simple loose waves and natural makeup.

ABC's Christiane Amanpour, E! News' Giuliana Rancic, actor Jason Lee, and fellow director/pal Julian Schnabel were also in attendance.

Following the screening, the cast and guests moved along to The Standard Hotel where they partied at Le Bain & the Boom Boom Room until the wee hours of the morning. The views from the party were absolutely incredible, and we're not just talking about Brad Pitt (although those were equally as gorgeous). Mr. and Mrs. Pitt were cozied up by the fireplace while Brad and Angie cruised around the party chatting with friends. *Sidenote: we just love the waterbeds on the rooftop.. and the views from the bathroom... Let's just say you'll have to see it to believe it.

Check out In the Land of Blood and Honey in theaters December 23rd.

Coming Soon: The Sitter Exclusive Screening, NYC

2011-11-22T12:23:00.004-05:00

Who loves Jonah Hill?! WE DO. We're so excited to be working on the Exclusive Screening of his new movie, The Sitter. We died laughing at the trailer, and can't wait to see the film!

The story follows a suspended college student who unwillingly agrees to babysit his neighbors. A night of hilarity ensues... and somehow Method Man and Sam Rockwell get involved and there's a car chase. That's about all we can say for now, but you know we'll give you the full scoop after the screening!

We're going to watch the trailer a few more times until then! Check it out here!

Coming Soon: In the Land of Blood & Honey Premiere, NYC

2011-11-22T11:53:00.006-05:00

Parish PR will be working on the NYC premiere of Angelina Jolie's film, In the Land of Blood & Honey. The actress makes her big-screen directorial debut (she directed a small documentary film back in 2007) and will release the film in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language with English subtitles, so as not to lose the authenticity of the story.

The film depicts a couple who struggle through the violence of a war-torn country... think a Bosnian War version of the timeless Romeo & Juliet. The film is emotionally charged and illustrates the mental and physical anguish of a forbidden love in times of war. To get a better sense of the film, check out the trailer here.

We're very excited to be working on this project and can't wait to share more details after the premiere!

Coming Soon: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Premiere, NYC

2011-11-11T13:09:00.007-05:00

We're proud to announce that we'll be working with Sony Pictures on one of the year's most anticipated films, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! Based on the insanely popular novels by Stieg Larsson, this US version of the Swedish film is sure to be absolutely incredible.

It's a dark, edgy, raw, thriller-mystery that tests one's emotional boundaries. Director David Fincher recently released a sexually explicit film poster for the press, and has already generated quite a buzz for the film starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. Keep this one on your radars, you don't want to miss it! Check out the trailer here!

IMMORTALS WORLD PREMIERE, LA

2011-11-10T15:34:00.018-05:00

On November 7th, Parish PR worked with Relativity Media on the world premiere of the epic film Immortals at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The Greek mythology-based tale stars Henry Cavill, Luke Evans, Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, and Stephen Dorff. The carpet was lined with fans, warriors, and celebrity gods and goddesses alike. It was quite a spectacle, as the red carpet entrance was decorated with giant flaming torches, and the LA Live TV screens blasted Immortals trailers for all to see. The excitement in the air was almost intoxicating as the stars began to arrive.

Although this is a macho, manly, bro-fest of a cast, the leading ladies arrived looking absolutely heavenly. Freida Pinto who played Phaedra, channelled her inner warrior-goddess and wore a stunning ivory Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 gown with embroidered bodice, sexy paneling, shoulder pads, and carefully designed cutouts. She accessorized the look with a french side braid swept into a bun, a Chopard diamond bracelet, and soft makeup.

The Australian beauty who played Athena, Isabel Lucas, wore a pale blush Roksanda Ilincic dress with burgandy colored straps, nude Stuart Weitzman sandals, jewels by Gray Gallery and grecian goddess-inspired hair. Her tanned skin really offset the color of the silky dress... she looked angelic!

The men of the film suited up in perfectly tailored, classic, dark, 3-piece suits and gave new meaning to the word dapper.

Let's discuss the star of the film, and the new Superman, Henry Cavill who played Theseus. He arrived at the premiere and literally took our breath away. We're talking a seriously rock-hard body here, ladies! His burgeoning muscles seemed to test the quality of craftsmanship in his Tom Ford suit.

There weren't any burst seams that evening, but we're pretty sure the fans' hearts exploded with adoration. For those of you reading this, you get to watch that gorgeous specimen of man, shirtless, in 3D, for a full 2 hours... if that's not incentive enough, the following men are more-often-than-not shirtless, too.

Luke Evans, as Zeus in the film, wore a 3-piece suit in charcoal, with shirt, tie, and shoes all by Burberry. Daniel Sharman, who played Aries, also wore head-to-toe Burberry. Stephen Dorff, who played Stavros, wore a shiny black suit, gray striped shirt and black tie.

Kellan Lutz arrived in a white stretch Escalade to greet a mass of screaming fans across the street from the Nokia Theatre. Dressed in a dark suit and shoes by Tod's, he absolutely oozed sex appeal.

Australian model/actress Sharni Vinson (aka Kellan's date) wore a white cutout dress with edgy details, nude platform pumps, and styled the look with a Rebecca Minkoff 'Fling' clutch and messy braid.

Everyone in attendance that night was truly lucky to share the carpet with one specific person. He literally owned the carpet, the photographers, the journalists, and the fans.. not to mention had 50 Cent starstruck. Ladies and gents, we're talking about King Hyperion, the ultimate boss, Mickey Rourke! He sauntered onto the carpet with girlfriend Anastassija Makarenko surrounded by his posse of henchmen (UFC fighters). Wearing Prada cat-eye sunglasses, a 3-piece suit with gold chain embellishments, and pink tie/shirt combo, he was clearly not to be messed with. In a true display of Hollywood bad-assery, he aggressively puffed on cigarettes while conducting raspy-voiced interviews with the press. Seriously one of the coolest red carpet performances we've seen to date.

Speaking of the coolest, we also had the aforementioned 50 Cent with us on the carpet. He arrived in his royal blue Rolls Royce and walked the carpet with a beaming smile, gray suit, and some serious swagger.

We also had a mini Hills reunion with Kristin Cavallari (wearing Mimi Plange), Audrina Patridge, and Frankie Delgado (not pictured).

Marcia Gay Harden also graced us with her presence and let's just say, she's a red carpet pro! She knows exactly how to win over the photographers, and that is not exactly an easy task. She looked beautiful as always!

Here's a look at our other guests:

Craig Robinson

Wayne Brady

Corbin Bleu

Estella Warren

Samantha Mumba

After the film wrapped, the cast headed to the after-party where they were greeted by more warriors and artifacts from the film. How incredibly amazing is this??? The film's fantastic headpieces by Eiko Ishioka were on display, as well as other notable props.

Freida Pinto, wore a gorgeous orange Nina Ricci Resort 2012 cocktail dress to the party and paired the chiffon-ruffled frock with Tabitha Simmons Chandelier sandals. Look #2 was also stunning! She was joined by boyfriend Dev Patel who wore head-to-toe Burberry. Aren't they adorable?

JACK AND JILL WORLD PREMIERE, LA

2011-11-10T11:32:00.016-05:00

This was a busy weekend in the world of Parish PR as we jetted off to LA for a few world premieres! The first was Sony Pictures Jack and Jill, starring Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, and Al Pacino. In this hilarious gender-bending film, Sandler plays both the roles of a man and his twin sister who visits from out of town! Holmes plays wife to Jack (Sandler) and Pacino the love interest of sister, Jill (also Sandler) in this comedic story of sibling rivalry.

The premiere was held at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, and after crossing our fingers all day, the looming rain clouds drifted out to sea and we avoided what may have been a soggy red carpet mess!

Joining us at the premiere was of course, the cast, a gold and glittery mass of X-Factor contestants, everyone's favorite Mini-Me Verne Troyer, and YouTube sensation Rebecca Black! Keep reading to see red carpet photos of all your favorites!

The true show-stopper at the premiere had to be Katie Holmes. The minute she arrived on the carpet the cameras produced a flashing frenzy! She arrived wearing a silk chiffon dress of her own design, Holmes & Yang, that featured a fuschia criss-cross bodice, plunging neckline, and black skirt. She paired the dress with Lanvin ankle strapped shoes. We have to say, her best accessory was her hair. Although she wore it down, her long, glossy mane was quite breath-taking. What's your secret, Katie?

As this was generally a "boys night out", as most Sandler films are, there wasn't much to speak of regarding show-stopping fashion (sorry boys). The X-Factor contestants, Lakoda Rayne, were super cute in their matching outfits, as well as the boys of Stereo Hogzz. Now that's some serious bling!

Amber Lancaster wore an asymmetrical black and white Paule Ka dress paired with electric green t-strap peep toes and matching earrings.

Jane Seymour arrived with children (including her twin boys Johnny and Kristopher) looking radiant in a red dress and black leather jacket. At 60 years old, she's absolutely stunning! Look at that brood!

Now here come the boys...

Kevin Nealon

Jonathan Kite

David Spade

Judd Apatow and daughters

Rex Lee

Michael Irvin

Neil Diamond

Allen Covert and family

Billy Blanks

Gary Valentine

Bill Romanowski

David Koechner

Rob Riggle

Corbin Bleu

Kevin Farley

Micky Dolenz

Tyson Ritter

Larry Miller

Philip Baker Hall

Wayne Brady and daughter

As part of the kindred spirit of the film, the studio organized a slew of fans that had us seeing double... check out the parade of twins on the carpet!

After the film, the PPR crew headed down the street to Barney's Beanery where we enjoyed plates of Mexican fare and Kamikaze shots (thanks to a group of filmmakers at a nearby table!). It was a fantastically fun night, but it was early to bed for the team because we had to prep for the Immortals world premiere the following day! Keep reading for the juicy details!
