Jim Carrey, Rodrigo Santoro Attend 'Phillip Morris' NY Premiere

Actors Jim Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro joined the real life Phillip Morris

at the New York City premiere of the gay-themed film I Love You Phillip

Morris, which opens nationwide on December 3.

Also at the Monday screening were directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.

The film is based on the true story of Steven Russell (played by Carrey,

Liar Liar) and his improbable transformation from small-town

businessman, father and former cop to gay white-collar criminal and

ingenious jailbreaker. While in prison, Russell falls in love with his

cellmate Phillip Morris (played by Ewan McGregor, Star Wars).

Thirty-five-year-old Brazilian hunk Santoro (Charlie's Angels: Full

Throttle, 300) plays Jimmy, Russell's first boyfriend. (The film's trailer is embedded in the right panel of this page.)

The movie premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in Utah. It has

DVD in some regions. But its U.S. premiere has been postponed four

times since February.
