Idris Elba & Fiancee Sabrina Dhowre Premieres 'Yardie' at Berlin Film Fest - Watch Teaser Trailer!

Idris Elba is all smiles as he holds hands with his fiancee Sabrina Dhowre at the premiere of Yardie held during the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival at Zoo Palast on Thursday (February 22) in Berlin, Germany.

The 45-year-old actor and the 29-year-old model were accompanied by the film’s producers Dan MacRae, Robin Gutch and Gina Carter as they also attended the photo call at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Yardie is the feature directorial debut from Idris. Set in ’70s Kingston and ’80s Hackney, Yardie centres on the life of a young Jamaican man named D (Aml Ameen), who has never fully recovered from the murder, committed during his childhood, of his older brother Jerry Dread (Everaldo Creary). D grows up under the wing of a Kingston Don and music producer named King Fox (Sheldon Shepherd).

Fox dispatches him to London, where he reconnects with his childhood sweetheart, Yvonne (Shantol Jackson), and his daughter who he’s not seen since she was a baby. He also hooks up with a soundclash crew, called High Noon. But before he can be convinced to abandon his life of crime and follow “the righteous path”, he encounters the man who shot his brother 10 years earlier, and embarks on a bloody, explosive quest for retribution – a quest which brings him into conflict with vicious London gangster Rico (Stephen Graham) – Watch the trailer below!

Willem DaFoe Says He's 'Not Attracted Naturally' To TV Roles!

Willem Dafoe is dapper in all black while attending a photo call and press conference at the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival held at Grand Hyatt Hotel on Tuesday (February 20) in Berlin, Germany.

The 62-year-old Florida Project star was in attendance to accept the Honorary Golden Bear Award for lifetime achievement at the Berlin Film Festival.

During the press conference, Willem was asked if he would ever migrate to television.

“I’m not attracted naturally to television. I really think there’s a difference between television and cinema,” Willem expressed (via Deadline). “Lately, a lot of energy and resources are going to television. It sits in the culture in a more popular way than film. But I still find many opportunities in film and I think film has a special power TV almost never has to create a mystery and poetry. I’m more narrative obsessed.”

Robert Pattinson Coordinates with Mia Wasikowska at 'Damsel' Berlin Film Festival Premiere!

Robert Pattinson is dapper in a suit while hitting the red carpet at the premiere of his latest film Damsel held during the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival at Berlinale Palast on Friday (February 16) in Berlin, Germany.

Damsel is a western comedy that sees Robert playing Samuel Alabaster, more greenhorn than pioneer, as he sets off on an adventure with the love of his life, Penelope (Mia).

“There aren’t that many western comedies,” Robert said about the role (via Deadline). “In terms of the comedies, it’s tough to find one that has an interesting character, you’re usually playing for laughs. There’s such a stable of comedy actors and I’m not seen as a comedy actor so it will always go to a bunch of people before me. I found it so strange and felt like abstract version of a comedy and it appealed to me in the same way as a drama. It was really fun to play, it has an odd tone, so it was fun to try and figure out how to fit into it.”

FYI: Robert is wearing a Dior Homme suit. Mia is wearing a Givenchy gown.

Robert Pattinson Says He Wouldn't Rule Out Another Franchise: 'I've Not Had A Bad Experience'

Robert Pattinson is opening up about not ruling out more big-budget franchises!

The 31-year-old actor said he had a “great time” playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise while promoting his latest film Damsel at the 2018 Berlin Film Festival on Friday (February 16) with co-star Mia Wasikowska and writer-directors David Zellner and Nathan Zellner.

“I’ve not had a bad experience on any film I’ve done, maybe one,” Robert continued (via Deadline). “The only reason I’m a little cautious about big franchise films is that you can’t make them R rated. If you have a big budget, there’s more people on you to do it a [specific] way or you’re fired. If you keep a budget contained, if people think they can get their money back, you can experiment more.”

Robert added that he thinks mid-budget movies are having a “resurgence. “People were scared when the streaming services came out, but, to me, it seems there’’ a second wave. There’s a bunch of new studios, mid-budget filmmaking is coming back and it’s great.”
