Charlie Wilson's War Goes All Black in NYC

Last night's NYC screening of Charlie Wilson's War was a formal affair with not a whole lot of color at all on the red carpet.

Movie Preview: Charlie Wilson's War

I got so absorbed in watching this trailer for Charlie Wilson's War I completely forgot that the lead actor is Tom Hanks. And this is just from a two-and-a-half minute preview.
