LOS ANGELES, CA – June 27, 2011 – Tom Hanks arrives at the Chinese Theatre for the premiere of his latest film, Larry Crowne, on a Vespa, followed by a pack of other Vespa riding premiere-goers. While Tom doesn’t cross Hollywood Blvd to sign autographs for fans, his co-star Julia Roberts does. As the crowd goes wild, she crosses and walks straight to our area and signs autographs down the line for a few minutes, before she heads back to the red carpet.
Check out our video from the premiere below:
Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite in this dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today’s recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne. Until he was downsized, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he worked since his time in the Navy. Behind on his mortgage and with nothing to do, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts and the overlooked, who are all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband. The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.
Larry Crowne also stars Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Gugu Mbatha Raw, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier, Rami Malek, George Takei, Grace Gummer, Rita Wilson, Jon Seda, and opens in theaters July 1, 2011.
