Last night, the stars gathered at the Lower East Side's lovely Landmark Theatre for the New York showing of Margin Call, a fantastically put-together drama based around one investment bank's bout with the Wall Street economic crisis of 2008. Upon the film's finish, the glamorous crowd migrated from the LES to the West Village's Boom Boom Room atop the Standard Hotel, where a chill and cheery after party was held in the movie's honor. The crowd was indeed set to celebrate -- Stanley Tucci and friends shared drinks in the VIP area, Simon Baker chuckled
alongside director JC Chandor, and DJ Casey Coane spun Fleetwood Mac and Amy
Winehouse to guests' delight.
One of the first familiar faces to enter the room of Boom was none other than Constantine Maroulis, the American Idol finalist-turned-Broadway darling thanks in large part to his starring turn in the hit musical Rock Of Ages. How'd he feel now that the show was being adapted into a motion picture starring Alec Baldwin, Tom Cruise and PAPERMAG coverwoman Mary J. Blige? "I did a few days on the film -- I won't be playing my part, but it was great to be apart of," Maroulis told us. "We started this little show off Broadway, and now there's a movie with Tom
Cruise three years later? We're excited!"
On the hotel's roof, the petite Zoe Kravitz swapped stories (and later, a bit of spit) with Penn Badgley, who we spoke to about the movie's focus on the money crunch. Had he ever felt the need to indulge in a five-finger discount? "I've never actually stolen anything," the actor told us with a smile. "But I've definitely had some hard times. Right before Gossip Girl, I was dead broke." It looks like things have turned around quite a bit, Penn. An XOXO to you.
As we finished our chat with Badgley, we stumbled into the handsome Zachary Quinto, who's frequenting the headlines this week for nonchalantly coming out in an interview. Had Zach checked out Occupy Wall Street, given its perfect timing with the movie? "I would go, if I felt the message that they clarified did actually resonate with me personally," Quinto elegantly responded. "But I'm inspired by their initiation and their purpose."
Zachary Quinto -- smart and opinionated. Plus, he played Spock in the Star Trek movie. A catch through and through.
