Quick Snaps: 'The Beaver' Premiere at SXSW

I have a dozen more good photos from last night's premiere of The Beaver, and a million things I could say about the movie, but I have five minutes. Jodie Foster was at the Paramount last night for the first public showing of her latest film, The Beaver. The film was scripted by Austin writer Kyle Killen (who also wrote the short-lived TV series Lone Star). The cast includes not only Foster but also Anton Yelchin (or as my husband calls him, "Chekhov"), Jennifer Lawrence and Mel Gibson as the man who communicates with help of a beaver puppet.

Foster introduced the film and started the Q&A alone, then brought out Yelchin and Killen, pictured above. I hope to meet Killen in person at some point because I interviewed him over the phone for SXSWorld magazine -- the issue that's available at ACC right now, in fact. I haven't seen the magazine myself yet and hope to have time to stop at the convention center and pick one up this afternoon. If you missed Killen last night, he'll be showing unaired episodes of Lone Star at Alamo Drafthouse next month, and we'll post more info about that later.

Gotta run. Hope to see some of you downtown today.
