Salma Hayek and co-stars arrived at the world premiere of “Sausage Party” held at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, California on Tuesday (August 9, 2016). Hayek, who lends her voice to the R-Rated raunchy animated feature, had a great time posing with the characters and with whatever vegetables she could get her hands on - as the Red Carpet was transformed into a grocery store. So yes, that is Salma Hayek with pair of lettuce heads at chest level.
Also attending the event were Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson to name a few.
The film brings to life food items that occupy the shelves at a local supermarket (Shopwells), Frank (Seth Rogen) the sausage, Brenda (Kristen Wiig) the hot dog bun, Teresa Taco( Salma Hayek).They all dream of one thing: to be chosen by a customer and taken to their home.
At a 90% rating currently on Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus seems to be raunchy adult-themed hilarity…and definitely not for kids.
The age-less beauty herself admitted in an interview with Collider just how ‘naughty’ her taco character was. “I don’t know how they got me. I think I was hypnotized…I am one naughty, naughty taco. She is a bad girl, in a different way. It’s the naughtiest thing I’ve ever done. I never thought I’d ever say some of those things out loud.” She added: “But, I had a lot of fun working with Seth. It’s a different kind of crazy.”
About the film:
Sausage Party, the first R-rated CG animated movie, is about one sausage leading a group of supermarket products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they become chosen to leave the grocery store.
“SAUSAGE PARTY” opens nationwide August 12, 2016

The film has been drawing rave reviews from audiences and critics alike and currently enjoys an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The story is a reimagining of Disney's cherished live-action/animated family film, "Pete's Dragon"from 1977 and is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a flying dragon.
About the film:
"Pete's Dragon" stars Bryce Dallas Howard ("Jurassic World"), Oakes Fegley ("This is Where I Leave You"), Wes Bentley ("The Hunger Games"), Karl Urban ("Star Trek"), Oona Laurence ("Southpaw"), Isiah Whitlock, Jr. ("Cedar Rapids") and Oscar® winner Robert Redford ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier").

Osborne ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Great Gatsby") serving as executive producer.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales… until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home, who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliot. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliot seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father, Jack (Wes Bentley), owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
Disney’s "Pete’s Dragon" opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sony movie studio chief Tom Rothman said the controversy surrounding the movie is "the greatest thing that ever happened." He added, "Are you kidding me? We're in the national debate, thank you. Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?"

Dan Aykroyd, 64, who played Ray Stantz in the original, brought along his wife Donna Dixon as well as his entire family.

Zac Efron bromance premieres in Hollywood
Zac Efron arrived at the Cinerama Dome at ArcLight Hollywood on Wednesday (June 29, 2016) for the special screening of Twentieth Century Fox's "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" sporting 90's inspired frosted tips. Was Efron embracing retro-style? Looking to bring back a bit of nostalgia? No, not really. it seems that Efron's frosted tips weren't inspired by retro-trends at all. Actually, the bold look was due to the production of his upcoming "Baywatch" reboot co-starring Dwayne Johnson.
Efron was joined on the red carpet by his co-star - "Modern Family's" Adam DeVine. Their bromance high jinks spilled onto the red carpet as Devine jumped on Efron's back for an impromptu piggy-back ride. All in a day's work promoting their Summer Comedy.
Cast members Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Sugar Lynn Beard and Alice Wetturland were also on the fun-filled, sun-drenched red carpet. All did their best to avoid the harshness of the sun for the photographers, but to no avail. However, most still managed to look their best with smiles and cute poses.
About the film: About the film: Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam DeVine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by an uncontrollable duo.
"Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" opens in theaters nationwide July 8, 2016
