Kiefer Sutherland provided a little Can-Con at the Ryerson Theatre last night for the early evening premiere of Lars von Trier’ s much-ballyhooed new film, Melancholia. Of course, the cheers for homegrown Sutherland were quickly drowned out when True Blood’ s Alexander Skarsgård rolled in. He seemed to enjoy the attention, which we think is, you know, nice and all (also nice—all six feet, four inches of that vampire goodness). Not surprisingly, however, the movie’s star, Kirsten Dunst, ultimately stole the show, smiling profusely as she strolled along the carpet, looking retro-chic in a pleated white skirt and polka dot blouse. Fresh! But we have to wonder: where were the Charlottes (Rampling and Gainsbourg )? See the gallery, after the jump.
