Stars Storm Manhattan For 'The Day After Tomorrow'
It's being called "the mother of all disaster
movies," and with good reason. In "The Day After
Tomorrow," decades of environmental neglect lead to a
global super storm of apocalyptic proportions. And what better
way for a summer movie to generate a blizzard of publicity,
than a man-made snowstorm at its world premiere?
In the movie, Dennis Quaid plays a scientist trying to save the world; he told us he's expecting big things from the blockbuster. "I saw it three weeks ago with my son," he said. "He woke up the next morning and wanted to see it again."
Sela Ward plays Dennis' wife, and she revealed the secrets of
the premiere's snow. "It's soap suds," she told us.
"That's Hollywood!"
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Quaid's son, and when he wasn't busy throwing
snowballs at the premiere, Jake addressed the election year
attention the film is receiving. "Whether it's John Kerry
or George Bush they should all use it," he said. "It's
a non-partisan issue."
Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton arrived with her beau,
Ian Klaus, and revealed only to "Extra," "I'm
here to support my friend, Jake Gyllenhaal, actually."
Jake's real-life leading lady, Kirsten Dunst, was by his side, but his love interest in the movie is 17-year-old beauty, Emmy Rossum, a former Metropolitan opera singer. "I sang there for five years and decided to become an actress and it snowballed from there," Rossum told us.
Check out "The Day After Tomorrow," when it flies into theatres this weekend.
