The film costars Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Edward Norton, Jonah Hill and Michael Peña, and is scheduled for a U.S. release on December 16. 

It is being helmed by David Frankel, 56, who previously directed The Devil Wears Prada.

And it was great to see the Men in Black star in high spirits as he clearly shrugged off a joke by host Chris Rock at the Academy Awards last weekend.

Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, 44, were singled out for boycotting the awards ceremony over the lack of black nominees.  

'It's not fair that Will Smith was this good in Concussion and didn't get nominated. It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!,' Rock said.

The 51-year-old host also pointed a joke toward Jada for her public boycott.  

'What happened this year? Jada's going to boycott the Oscars?,' said Rock.

'Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!' Chris joked. 

'It's not an invitation I would turn down.'
