Australia, the film, premieres on Thursday December 12th at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square.

The time: pre-WW2, the place: Australia, the plot: an English aristocrat inherits a massive cattle station as cattle barons (also English) force her off the land. She must unite with Drover the stock-man to have any chance of moving her 2,000 strong cattle, and the complications don't end there.

Australian Nicole Kidman is the English aristocrat and Hugh Jackman (Formerly Wolverine in the X-Men films) is the rather ravishing Drover.

Baz Luhrman (of Moulin Rouge!, and Romeo + Juliette) writes, with Stuart Beattie, and directs this epic that's all adventure, drama, war, western and then some.

We can't predict which stars will show for their premiere, but your guaranteed to see a few pairs of sparkling shoes floating across the red carpet. (Just to remind you, unless you have a ticket to the premiere you won't be seeing the film which is on general release on December 26th.)

The Changeling UK premiere is on Sunday 16th November 2008 in the Empire Leicester Square.

Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby) directs Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider, Mr and Mrs Smith) and John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich, Burn After Reading) in the Changeling.

Changeling tells the true story of a mother Christine (Jolie, of course) whose kidnapped son is apparently returned to her, only after the press frenzy has died down she realises he is not who she thought he was...

It's 1928 in Los Angeles and Christine Collins is about to find out how the authorities do their jobs in the time of Prohibition with the help of activist Reverend Briegleb (Malkovich).

Michelle Martin, Jan Devereaux, Gattlin Griffith, and Michael Kelly (Sopranos) also star.

Nobody knows who will show for any premiere, but we all know how these thespians love to dress up and watch themselves on screen.

You are advised to arrive in the afternoon to get a good view to the stars and their significant others walk the walk to the Changeling premiere. If you find you have time on your hands then there's plenty of free stuff to do in the area such as The National Gallery and Covent Garden.

See the stars as they wander into the premiere of Body of Lies on Thursday 6th November in the Vue Cinema, Leicester Square.

Directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien, Black Hawk Down, Blade Runner, American Gangster), Body of Lies is based on a novel by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius about a CIA operative who discovers a terrorist plot.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Roger Ferris, the man with the plan, but in the situation that unravels can he even trust his boss Ed Hoffman (played by Russell Crowe)?

Body of Lies also stars Mark Strong, Ali Suliman, Oscar Isaac and Golshifteh Farahani.

Unless you're in the film production team or have won tickets (try The First Post) then you won't be seeing the film, but that doesn't mean you can't have a look at the stars as they stride down the red carpet. There's only one way to find out who will turn up...

Body of Lies will premiere in the evening of Thursday 6th November but the crowd will start to gather in the afternoon. If you find you have time on your hands then there's plenty of free stuff to do in the area such as The National Gallery and Covent Garden.

Frost/Nixon premieres at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square on Wednesday 15th October.

Frost/Nixon, written by Peter Morgan, is the dramatic re-telling of the interviews between Britain's David Frost and the former American president Richard Nixon after Watergate.

Michael Sheen is David Frost, Frank Langella is Richard Nixon, Mark Simich is Hugh Hefner with plenty of Playboy Bunny/Playmates, Kevin Bacon stars, as does Janneke Arent who was Rebecca Tate on four episodes of Home and Away. Gene Boyer and Carl Burhanan play themselves.

Remember, unless you have a ticket you're not seeing the film, but that doesn't mean you can't see who's in it! It's anyone's guess who will turn up to watch themselves on screen but there's a bundle of potential to choose from, and with the historical element there may even be some surprises.

The premiere of Frost/Nixon is in the evening at 7pm on Wednesday 15th October but the crowd will start to gather in the afternoon. (There's plenty of free things to do in the area  - National Portrait Gallery, The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden - if you find yourself twiddling thumbs.)

The multi-layered tale of drugged up rock stars, Russian gangsters, 'Old school' and 'New school' mobsters has an all-star cast including Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton and Jeremy Priven.
