Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Hanks, and Amy Adams, all attend a special screening of the movie. Philip looks like he could use a shave. Tom and Amy look great, though.

This looks like it’s going to be a really good movie. I love Tom Hanks in everything he’s done. Can’t wait to see it!

It’s a sight you never thought you’d see - a stark naked Philip Seymour Hoffman in the very first frame of Sidney Lumet’s latest, “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.”

The Oscar-winning actor and an equally nude Marisa Tomei kick off the harrowing thriller with a steamy sex scene that had everyone talking Wednesday night at the Cinema Society screening of Lumet’s 45th film.

Hoffman, Tomei and co-star Ethan Hawke were on hand for the Sagatiba Rum-sponsored showing and the star-studded after-party on the roof lounge of the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Among those enthralled by the tale of a robbery gone horribly awry were Lauren Bacall, Sheryl Crow, Patricia Clarkson, Tommy Hilfiger, Rachel Roy, Cynthia Rowley, Sante D’Orazio, newly pregnant Julianna Margulies and supermodel Hana Soukupova (whose apartment was used for one of the grittier scenes).

Meanwhile, guests downstairs at the Rose Bar were getting a scene of their own. Ryan Gosling proved he’s over his ex, Rachel McAdams, by cozying up to a “hot brunette who kept showing him her phone.”

Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead:

Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke), into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hanks actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei plays Hoffmans trophy wife, who is having a clandestine affair with Hawke, and the stellar cast also includes Albert Finney as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting are his own sons. A classy, classic heist-gone-wrong drama in the tradition of The Killing and Lumets own The Anderson Tapes, BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOW YOURE DEAD is smart enough to know that we often have the most to fear from those who are near and dear.

Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman will star in the movie adaptation of John Patrick’s Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play Doubt for Miramax Films. Shanley wrote the script and will direct the movie. The story is about a principal of a Bronx Catholic School (Streep), a nun who’s a strict disciplinarian, who makes pedophile accusations against a popular priest (Hoffman). Streep just finished work on the Gavin Hood-directed Rendition and the Robert Redford-directed Lions for Lambs, and she is preparing to start shooting on a screen adaptation of the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!. Hoffman just starred in the Sidney Lumet-directed Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead as well as alongside Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in the Mike Nichols-directed Charlie Wilson’s War. He will next work on the Charlie Kaufman-directed Synecdoche, New York, and he’s currently starring at the Public Theater in Jack Goes Boating. He will next appear on-screen this summer in Savages, which also stars Laura Linney.

Us has learned exclusively that Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman (me like him long time) and his longtime girlfriend, Mimi O’Donnell, are expecting their second child together. O’Donnell is four months along and due in November. The couple also has a son Cooper, who is 3.
 
The parents-to-be met in 1999, when O’Donnell was in charge of costume design for the play In Arabia We’d All Be Kings, which Hoffman was directing. In 2006, Hoffman won an Academy Award for best actor for his performance in Capote. He has also appeared in the films Magnolia, Cold Mountain and Mission: Impossible III. Hoffman’s rep could not be reached for comment.
