I am a little worried about Jeff Bridges, who hasn’t attended any of these events. He’s getting older, he did have cancer, and I believe he’s been dealing with long Covid, so I assume he just decided this grueling press stuff is for the birds and will come to the LA premiere if he feels up to it. I hope you’re okay, Jeff Bridges! The dude needs to continue to abide. (EDITED to add that I saved this post and then like 30 minutes later I saw him in a T-Mobile ad and he looked fine. Abide, Jeff! ABIDE.)
Anyway! That cast photo was a surprise. I did not realize Evan Peters was in the movie, and I did not recognize him — I think it’s the facial hair? — and thought he was some producer taking a photo with the cast. Gillian Anderson looks amazing; JTS’s look is, once again, thematically perfect. Greta Lee’s look is the hardest to grasp from the group shot, so here she is on her own:
This is low-key and fine and mostly allows us to focus on her face, which is great!
You may have realized I have not yet mentioned Jared Leto. That group shot makes it look like he’s starring in a weird sci-fi series on a lesser streamer and he’s tired of promoting it, so he just sent his own wax figure. I know I joked that he looks like his own wax figure the last time I wrote about him, but he DOES. I think it’s his stance, really, rather than anything else. I guess he just wanted us to admire his rings? I don’t even think he looks sartorially bad — just like someone rolled him in on a dolly.
