- Story Text: Co-stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were among thearray of celebrities to show up Tuesday (July 13) for the world premiere of Stanley Kubrick's last film, "Eyes Wide Shut," a suspense thriller about jealousy and sexual obsession.
Long before the screening, press and fans had their spots marked out for the premier of "Eyes Wide Shut".The secrecy surrounding the movie was extended to include the actors during the making of the movie.On Stanley Kubrick's instructions, each performer was given just his or her scene instead of the whole script.
But being kept in the dark didn't keep friends of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman away from the premier, and all were greeted warmly on arrival.
As they cruised the red carpet, Hollywoods' golden couple looked relaxed and happy as they chatted freely with the press. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
