Easy Virtue (UK), directed by Stephan Elliott. Starring, Jessica Biel, Kristen Scott Thomas, Colin Firth and Ben Barnes.

Larita, a Jazz Age race-car driver impulsively marries young Englishman John Whittaker in Monte Carlo and travels to England to meet his privileged and batty family who naturally, hate her. John’s mother and sisters try their best to sabotage the newlyweds while his father, develops a deep bond with the bride founded on their mutual appreciation for motorbikes and flouting social etiquette

Easy Virtue’s Stephan Elliott has revealed that Justin Timberlake brought some unwanted guests on the set of the film.

The SexyBack star is dating Jessica Biel, who stars in the film, and was followed by some photographers when he visited the set.

“There was a bit of paparazzi, specifically when Justin turned up one day, and that’s when it got out of hand,” the Australian filmmaker recalled at the film’s premiere in Toronto.

“There’s a 20s dinner scene where everybody’s dressed to the nines, and there are these lenses coming up in the background of the shot. Snapperazzi! We had a couple of bad guys, but they’re generally pretty cool.”

While Justin doesn’t have a guest appearance in the film, which premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Stephan says he’ll be happy to give him a cameo in his next film.

Yeah! Why not?” he said, smiling.

In Easy Virtue, Jessica plays a glamorous American divorcee who ties the knot to a young Englishman, played by Prince Caspian’s Ben Barnes.

“The movie’s about marrying wrong. That’s the real heart of it,” added the director. “It’s not easy, and marriage isn’t easy. Her (Jessica’s) character discovers five minutes into the film that she’s made a terrible mistake.”

Wow

I’ve just added 16 MQ photos of Jessica that were taken at the 2008 TIFF! She looks absolutely, it’s an Easy Virtue photo call - The photos are tagged, which sucks - Hopefully someone can donate untagged ones :)? Let me know! For now - enjoy these!

Thanks to Dom for the donation!

A fine cast makes sure Noel Coward’s champagne remains bubbly in “Easy Virtue,” an effervescent entertainment that marks a welcome return for “Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” director Stephan Elliott after a nine-year absence. This peppy Ealing Studios offering may have trouble asserting itself in a market that increasingly demands must-see credentials, but with Jessica Biel more than keeping up with such British stalwarts as Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth at snapping out the tasty dialogue, the pic could yet cultivate an audience among those who go for pictures with a smart English pedigree.

For several years it has been clear that Biel is one of the great, beautiful babes of her generation. But if her abilities as a spirited, sharp-witted comedienne with a smart sense of timing had not frequently been demonstrated, it’s only because she had seldom been asked to display them. As an adventurous American auto racer confronted with ferocious disapproval from her new English husband’s snobbish family in the mid-1920s, Biel sparkles in this fun second film version of Coward’s play, after Alfred Hitchcock’s melodramatic, and much reworked, 1927 silent version.

Coward’s stage piece, which he wrote when he was only 24, was a covert demolition job on the upper middle class of British landed gentry that held on to its Victorian-era morals and attitudes more successfully than it held on to its money after World War I. Elliott and Sheridan Jobbins’ adaptation keeps a watchful eye on this and other underlying themes, even as it goofs around with the source in ways meant to mildly modernize its feel, particularly in the musical and wardrobe departments.

Pic takes a reel or so to entirely find its bearings. Larita (Biel), having just finished first in a Monaco auto race, impulsively marries upper-class pretty-boy John Whittaker (Ben Barnes) and accompanies him to his family’s country pile. Arriving in a splendid vintage BMW roadster, the couple receive a frosty welcome from John’s snooty mother (Scott Thomas), who instantly pegs the fashionable Larita as a “floozy” and launches a systematic campaign to drive her out.
