Knight and Day
By James Mangold
Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz
Pocket-sized all-action hero Tom Cruise and his co-star Cameron Diaz wowed fans in Seville last week when the Hollywood stars took the city by storm for the world premiere of their new movie Knight and Day.There has not been much in the way of good old fashioned summer blockbusters this year so all hopes are pinned on this one scooping up audiences and scoring big at the box office - especially as the remake A Team has had poor reviews and struggled in the States.
Tom and Cam rubbed shoulders with the hoi polloi in Seville, and Spanish TV stations showed clips of them meeting and greeting members of Seville society, including the Duchess of Alba and former bullfighter Curro Romero.
The stars recreated scenes from the movie in front of hundreds of excited fans and Tom flew around the cathedral area on his motorcycle before they stopped off for a chat and to sign dozens of autographs. A large part of the movie was shot in Seville and Cadiz.
So, what to expect. Tom plays Roy Miller, a suave spy, and Diaz plays June Havens, who manages to get caught up in his world. Then, of course, the two of them end up running for their lives and falling in love along the way.
The 50s sounding names are a homage to the sort of spy stuff done by Grace Kelly and Cary Grant, under the directorial hand of Hitchcock, and add into the mix lots of high octane shots of hot cars, explosions, and light comedy and it's a bit like Mission Impossible but with more banter.
So, grab a big bag of popcorn and fasten your seatbelt because you are in for what it says on the tin - a bumpy, fun ride for summer.
