James McAvoy vs. Vincent Cassel at ‘Trance’ premiere: who would you rather?

Here are some photos from the UK premiere of Trance, which is Danny Boyle’s latest film (his first since 127 Hours). The film stars James McAvoy (yum), Rosario Dawson (who boned the director, then broke up with him just a little while ago) and Vincent Cassel (mama like), and it’s sort of a heist film, but it’s looks kind of like standard Danny Boyle-frenzy WITH a heavy dose of noir. Here’s the NSFW redband trailer – BEWARE, there are some graphic images in here:

It looks good, although Danny Boyle tends to have one or two scenes in every one of his films where I have to look away. Like, he consistently crosses some sort of gross line at least once in every film. In Trainspotting, it was the toilet scene. In Slumdog, it was the toilet scene. Huh.

Anyway, I’m including an assortment of photos of all of the main actors at the premiere. Rosario wore red Jenny Packham – it’s a beautiful gown and she looks gorgeous. The dress seems more suited to Duchess Kate or Angelina (it IS sort of sacky). James McAvoy is still rocking his ginger beard and I know a lot of you will be more focused on him, which is fine. I’m totally cool with being the only one around here with a crush on Vincent Cassel. He seems like a dog, he’s odd-looking and he’s crazy-talented. I LOVE HIM. I wouldn’t marry him but I would do dirty things to him. That being said, how many times is Cassel going to play the accented bad-guy/gangster in an English-language film?

PS… I want James and Michael Fassbender to have a Ginger Beard-Off. Who would win?!

    McAvoy. always, ALWAYS McAvoy..

    I like Rosario’s dress, she looks really good.

    • RocketMerry says:

      +1.
      McAvoy is just so beautiful and seems like such a good man. Sigh.

      Yay for the new McAvoy movie, I’d been waiting for it, although I cringed and actually closed my eyes tight in a few of these trailer scenes.

  2. Bianca says:

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ll have to pick monsieur Cassel UNTIL AFTER JAMES MCAVOY SHAVES THAT AWFUL GINGER BEARD. That’ll teach him.

    • Jill says:

      Agree. I LOVE facial hair. But he looks terrible! It makes the angles of his face weird somehow.

      Oh, and for the love of God, Boyle!

      • DreamyK says:

        No love for the ginger beard here either.

        Damn that trailer was weird and gross. Can’t say as I would be interested in seeing that movie. Sorry James! I still love you!

  3. T.Fanty says:

    How is this even a question? Always McAvoy.

    Although, is it me or is the beard starting to look really lopsided?

    • Miss Kiki says:

      Ok good, I’m not the only one that noticed that his beard was lop sided. I still would though, obviously.

    • Miss Kiki says:

      I always get the sense that The Mac *really* knows how to throw down.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Mmm, he can throw me down anytime.

        Aren’t we being clean this morning? It’s because Miss Eyre hasn’t yet arrived to drag us all down into the gutter.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I meant that as a compliment, you know.

      • Miss Kiki says:

        Fants you’re so right, J really is quite the corrupting force around here.

      • j.eyre says:

        Of course! I am hungover, operating on 2 1/2 hours sleep and I have to fill in for the “homework mom” in The Heir’s class today.

        It’s going to get ugly quick.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh no! I say start drinking again.

      • j.eyre says:

        I actually think it is more of a carbohydrate hangover. I had a hint more wine than usual last night but I made chicken fettuccine Alfredo and then did a face plant into a bowl of M&Ms at my girlfriends.

        *sigh* The Mac just might make it all right today, however. I just adore him.

  4. Darkladi says:

    Kaiser, I am always about Monseur Vincent. He can tack me to the mattress at any time. Ooh La la!

    • Gigi says:

      +1

      Vincent forever!!!

    • Jessica says:

      J’aime Vincent Cassel! He’s gorgeous in ways I didn’t think possible 🙂

    • Irishae says:

      What a nice surprise to see some love for Vincent. I’m not sure how or when it happened, but at some point he made it into my Top 5. He’s sly like that.

  5. Ranunculus says:

    I think I would try to get with Vincent Cassel only to get a chance to chat with
    Monica Bellucci.

    • Victoria1 says:

      I would go for Vincent first, then Monica. I have such a girl crush I’d prob turn just for her.

  6. T.C. says:

    Vincent Cassel no question. That man would do me down and dirty so him.

    Rosario looks gorgeous from the neck up. The dress is too matronly, poorly fitted.

  7. allons-y alonso says:

    Excited to see this film. Bring onThe Year of The McAvoy

    Strangely attractive older man alert. I love Vincent Cassel.

    And I really like Roasrio Dawson’s dress

  8. Elceibeno says:

    James McAvoy wins hands down.

  9. Christina says:

    Vincent Cassel by a country mile. He’s not handsome but he is terribly sexy. and I know I’m in the minority here, but I don’t find McEvoy attractive at all. Great actor, and seems like a nice guy, but sexy? Nope.

    And maybe I’m imagining it, but Rosario and Danny Boyle look suitably awkward in this photo.

  10. Seagulls says:

    Cassel.

  11. Amelia says:

    I have to say I’m a little distracted from the photos by the red band trailer, tbh (although I will say I’d choose the Mac, always and forever.)
    Blimey, Danny Boyle does love to make people squirm. I feel a little weird that I laughed at Vincent Cassel talking with a bit missing from him 0_o It just looked so ridiculous!
    Definitely going to see the film, although I might choose my cinema snacks with a little more care after seeing the trailer.

  12. Flora says:

    Neither!

  13. Lemony says:

    All i can think about now is the Fassy-Mac Ginger Beard-Off. OMG. HOT.

  14. Sl says:

    James all the way!

  15. Oops says:

    None of them, but I can’t stand Cassel. On contrary, I’d like to be friend with McAvoy, he seems a nice and funny man, I love his interview, like this one : http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/76226513.html

  16. LL says:

    Since Vincent Cassel hasn’t looked good since Ocean’s Twelve so I’ll go with James McAvoy. He looks good with the beard.

  17. lady mary. says:

    Vincent Cassel, only if MONICA agrees to participate

  18. Ms Kay says:

    Vincent Cassel all the way. Because yes we’v hung out a few times together, he’s incredibly smart and funny, a tad pompous but eh it comes off as sexy more than anything else.

  19. jinni says:

    I can see why one would think of Jolie when looking at the dress Rosario is wearing because they have similar body types (broad shoulder, large breast, and no define waist/narrow hips).

  20. Nanea says:

    *raises hand*

    another vote for Monsieur Vincent

    *blinks*

    When did he go grey? Are his 3 ladies at home giving him so much trouble???

  21. mia girl says:

    Dear Lord Baby Jesus, lying there in your little ghost manger, lookin’ at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin’ ’bout shapes and colors… please grant me just one night with James McAvoy. Amen.

  22. Julie says:

    I want James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to have a Ginger Beard-off between my legs.

  23. j.eyre says:

    I absolutely get the Vincent Cassel thing. He is sexy and I have a thing for arrogance – like he would throw down without kissing me and then tell me he didn’t like my shoes afterwards. Not to mention his parkour in Oceans Twelve – you know that man has moves.

    That said, The Mac is a forever dong so I guess my answer is: Sandwich.

  24. serena says:

    Wow, I didn’t know he had a ginger beard. He somewhat looks like Tom Hardy.. Well, I still prefer James, he’s so hot and talented and classic -that’s the word that comes to mind when I think of him-.

    Also Vincent Cassel is ageing pretty badly, isn’t he?

  25. tekla says:

    mr mcavoy is mighty hot, but good GOD, that movie looks like yet another ridicilous hollywood production with pseudoscientists, many nude scenes and even more bloody scenes. it certainly doesn’t look good.

  26. Gemini08 says:

    Vincent Cassel baby! I’ve had a thing for him for years. He does something for me. And he’s French! James McAvoy has never done a thing for me in the shiver department.

  27. Aqua says:

    If I could get away with it, BOTH!

    • ichsi says:

      Yeah, both. Both is good.

      As long as i can look into James’ face and touch that ginger fur of his… and Vincent talks to me in that accent… *shivers-in-delight*

  28. FassDaActor says:

    Everyone looks nice but I love Vincent.

  29. TheOriginalWaffle says:

    Vincent looks reaaally thin.

  30. Ginger says:

    Hmmm…the Scotsman or the Frenchman?? Through in Monica Belucci and I will pick Vincent!
