New York, May 29, 2007 – Unlike his costars Demi Moore, Dane Cook and William Hurt, Kevin Costner made the trip to New York for a special screening of the new thriller, Mr. Brooks, in which he plays a serial killer. Costner’s wife, Christine, did not accompany him – she stayed home with their three-plus-week-old son, Cayden, whom dad called “kind of sweet”. But the newborn is the Dances With Wolves star's fifth child, so he wasn't alone at the screening. Daughter Annie Costner and son Joe Costner watched the film at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, and then hung out at the after party in the garden at the Soho Grand.

Kevin chatted with the young folks and their friends for a while, and then scooted over to the next table and spent most of the evening with Kyle MacLachlan and his wife, Desiree Gruber. All of the Costners were still at the party when we left after 11 P.M.

Less Than Perfect actor Zachary Levi made a show of getting rid of chewing gum, first removing it from his mouth and sticking it on the top of a movie poster, from which it fell. He then picked it up off the floor, wrapped it in a napkin and stuffed it in his pocket. This was all in front of the cameras.
