Lions For Lambs Has World Premiere In London

Last night, the Lions For Lambs premiere hit London. The film is Hollywood’s latest examination of U.S foreign policy and is one of many films released that is related to the war in Iraq and the U.S military response to the 9/11 attacks.

Star of the film, Tom Cruise reportedly spent a mammoth 2 hours singing autographs and greeting fans at the world premiere of the movie.

Lions For Lambs follows the story of two soldiers serving in Afghanistan and political intrigues back in the US. The film is directed by the fabulous Robert Redford and also stars Meryl Streep.

Some media have branded the film as “anti-war” but many backers of the film hope its controversial subject matter will boost it at the box office - hey awards season is coming up!

Talking about his new film, Cruise said,

“I think that films like this are interesting and important and I think it’s anyone’s place if they want to do it. We are free to communicate about anything we want and any subject we want, so I think it’s absolutely correct.”

So, did Cruise have to study any politician in particular for his role as an ambitious senator?

“I studied many. I’ll never tell exactly who, but there’s many months of research that went into this character to not make him into a caricature but into a human being with real problems and to reflect that idea.”

Streep didn’t attend the premiere and director Redford avoided the media by slipping into the theater via the back entrance.

The film hits US theaters on November 9th.
