At Thursday’s party for Escobar: Paradise Lost, starring Benicio Del Toro, Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson and Claudia Traisac, love was in the air. New couple Hutcherson and Traisac wandered throughout the third floor of the Storys Building, on Duncan Street, holding hands (and in Hutcherson’s case, Traisac’s butt on more than one occasion) and chatting with guests. Del Toro was friendly, even posing for pictures with the room’s various well-wishers, but he spent most of his evening conversing with the film’s director (and screenplay writer) Andrea Di Stefano. Since the bash was happening before the film’s premiere, no one got too outrageous, which was probably for the best. If anyone present actually partied like the film’s titular hero (anti-hero, perhaps?) they certainly wouldn’t have made it to any movie screenings, let alone out the door.
