I’ve spent the morning at the Fox villa, vertiginously perched high on the hills above Cannes. The view is fantastic (I’ve just spent 15 minutes with Halle Berry), and Cannes looks pretty goddamn gorgeous from up here too. I’ve been with Halle and the rest of the cast of X-Men: The Last Stand, as a participant in the first-ever digital junket. On a normal junket, a group of journalists spend some time interviewing stars promoting a particular movie. Today Fox have brought together 10 hacks from Japan, Korea, Australia, the USA and various points in Europe, all reporting back to their websites in real time as we quiz the cast. It’s been a slightly surreal process, both for the hacks and for the actors having to answer questions while ten pairs of hands frantically bash away at keyboards. To read about Halle projectile vomiting and hear how Hugh Jackman got Punk’d by director Brett Ratner, read the full story here.
