Set in Spain and starring breathtakingly gorgeous actors like Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem, and the Oscar-nominated Penelope Cruz, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is memorable for its amazing scenery — in the humans and the geography.

Penelope Cruz arrived in London yesterday, and last night she was already at work hosting a special screening of Vicky Cristina Barcelona alongside Harvey Weinstein. The film's been out in the US for months, but it hits screens in the UK in 3 weeks.

Penelope Cruz was missing all her costars, but was happy to take the stage at the Variety screening of Vicky Cristina Barcelona in NYC yesterday. She wasn't all red carpet done up, she looked effortlessly gorgeous as always. While Scarlett is overseas promoting The Spirit, it wasn't expected that Javier Bardem would make an appearance with Penelope — whether or not the rumors of a rough patch are true.
