It's been a star-studded few days in Berlin, where Anne Hathaway, James Franco, Rooney Mara, and many more celebs have popped up to premiere their films at the Berlin International Film Festival. Today, Rooney Mara and Jude Law met up in the German capital to present their film, Side Effects. Earlier in the festival, a Chanel-clad Anne linked up with Les Misérables costar Hugh Jackman to promote their hit project. Their costar Amanda Seyfried was pulling double-duty at the festival, where she premiered Les Misérables as well as her upcoming film Lovelace with James Franco and Peter Sarsgaard. Matt Damon dropped by last Friday when he and costar John Krasinski introduced their film, Promised Land. Click through to check out all of the action in Berlin!

Amanda Seyfried & Peter Sarsgaard Make a Sundance Splash with Lovelace

Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard joined the rest of their cast for the highly anticipated Sundance Film Festival premiere of Lovelace last night.

Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard joined the rest of their cast for the highly anticipated Sundance Film Festival premiere of Lovelace last night. The movie, about famous porn actress Linda Lovelace, has been making headlines ever since casting and is already getting good buzz after its debut. Just hours after Lovelace screened to its first audiences, it had reportedly already nabbed a distribution deal with RADiUS-TWC. On the red carpet, Amanda spoke about having no reservations about taking on the risqué role, which she took on back to back with Les Misérables. Elsewhere at Sundance, Peter had a family reunion with brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal and mother-in-law Naomi Foner, who directed Very Good Girls, which was also at the festival. Peter and Jake joined Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen for a celebration of all of their films.

See Amanda Seyfried as Porn Star Linda Lovelace in the Lovelace Poster

Amanda Seyfried plays famous porn star Linda Lovelace in the upcoming drama Lovelace, and we have our first official look at the actress as the '70s adult-film icon.

Amanda Seyfried plays famous porn star Linda Lovelace in the upcoming drama Lovelace, and we have our first official look at the actress as the '70s adult-film icon. It's a little racy, what with the come-hither stare and red lingerie, and I'm already wondering just how much of Lovelace's repertoire we're going to see in the biopic. In any case, I'm very curious about this film, especially for its big cast, which also includes Peter Sarsgaard as Lovelace's abusive husband and James Franco as Hugh Hefner. Get a closer look at the poster after the jump.

Kate Hudson and James Franco Enlist in the Pornography Biz

Malin Akerman is already bringing Linda Lovelace to the big screen, but Kate Hudson may soon be putting her own spin on the adult film star.

Malin Akerman is already bringing Linda Lovelace to the big screen, but Kate Hudson may soon be putting her own spin on the adult film star. Hudson has been offered the title role in Lovelace — an adaptation of the book The Complete Linda Lovelace — while James Franco is in discussions to play Lovelace's husband, pornographer Chuck Traynor. The couple married when Lovelace starred in the infamous film Deep Throat, but later, she accused Traynor of bullying her into pornography by beating her and even using hypnotism.

I'm having a hard time picturing bubbly Hudson in darker material (especially when we're used to seeing her in romantic comedies like this). As for Franco, between his award hosting duties and the other films he has lined up, I'm not exactly sure how the Oscar nominee is going to fit another project on his plate. But to his credit, at least we know he looks good rocking a porn 'stache. What say you? Can you picture Franco and Hudson in these roles?
