Spywitness: 'Felon' premiere and party

 

Theron, Dorff, Perrineau strut at Life. Kilmer a no-show.

Stephen Dorff not only invited pals Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Clifton Collins Jr. and Fred Durst to a special screening of “Felon” at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He also flew in two of the film’s stuntmen from Albuquerque for the Thursday night gig.

But Dorff thinks co-star Val Kilmer, who was stuck at his Arizona ranch due to “family issues,” gets credit for selecting the after-party venue. After all, Kilmer plays a philosophical prisoner-for-life in the, uh, captivating film.
 
“Val is a lifer inmate on-screen and Life is the right name for the spot for our wild party,” said Dorff, as he hugged movie bad guy Harold Perrineau.
 
Other cast members claimed some credit for choosing the aptly named resto/bar Life on Wilshire.
 
“I told director Ric Roman Waugh that I’d only go to the after party if the name was appropriate for my baby and he chose Life,” said Marisol Nichols, who is seven months pregnant.

 
Perrineau hopes “Lost” producers will be equally creative for their next bash.
 
“I’m going to insist they throw our next wrap party at a place called ‘Found,’” said Perrineau.
