Helen attended the “Red” panel during Comic-Con yesterday (22 July, 2010) at San Diego’s Convention Center. Pictures have now been added to the gallery.

Filming was underway on the set of “Arthur” in New York City on Thursday (July 8, 2010). Helen can be seen returning to her trailer and wandering on set in the pictures that have just been added to the gallery.

The “Twilight” franchise may be taking this Comic-Con off, but Summit Entertainment certainly isn’t. The mini-major is bringing some big stars to San Diego to promote their upcoming genre-friendly features “Red” and “Drive Angry 3D.” Most notably, the four-day convention will feature the first appearance of none other than Oscar winner Helen Mirren.
The former “Queen” will join co-stars Bruce Willis (perhaps also on hand for “The Expendables”), Karl Urban and Mary Louise Parker in discussing their new thriller “Red.” While Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich are currently not scheduled to attend, the rest of the crew will appear in the San Diego Convention Center’s Hall H between 2:15 and 3:15 on Thursday, July 22.
Thursday is turning out to be quite a busy day at the con with “Tron Legacy” already having announced its morning panel and rumored showcases featuring “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” and “The Green Hornet” among others.
On Friday, Summit will showcase the new R-rated thriller “Drive Angry 3D” with a panel featuring con veteran Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard and cult character actor William Fichtner. That event will occur 10:30 and 11 AM also in Hall H. No word on why the film’s villain, Billy Burke, won’t be in attendance.

Helen Mirren was completely at ease having her husband Taylor Hackford direct her in a steamy scene for their new movie Love Ranch, because the couple has become “comfortable” in their decades-long relationship.
Mirren and Hackford teamed up for the racy film about a Nevada brothel, in which The Queen star plays a madam.
One scene called for the actress to get intimate with hunky Spanish actor Sergio Peris-Mencheta, who is almost 30 years her junior.
But the 64-year-old star insists she had no qualms about being groped by another man in front of Hackford – because she knew he would make her look her best during the on-camera romp.
She says, “Honestly it was kind of great because obviously I trust my husband. He knows me; he knows what I look like in the morning and the last thing at night. He knows me. He knows my body, he knows my face with make-up, without make-up, so I can trust him and I’m comfortable with him.”
Mirren and Hackford began their romance in 1986 and married 11 years later.
Helen and her husband Taylor attended the Los Angeles Film Festival Screening of “The Leopard” at Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles yesterday (June 26, 2010). Pictures have now been added to the gallery.
