VIPs spending Thanksgiving weekend in the Hamptons will be flocking to screenings of awards-season films.
We hear Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness will spend the holiday out east with friends before he heads back to Brooklyn to begin filming his latest project, “The Greatest Showman,” on Monday, in which he plays P.T. Barnum.
On Friday, Jackman’s expected at a Guild Hall screening of another film, “Hidden Figures,” about real-life African-American women working for NASA in the ’60s. Also expected are Laurie Anderson, Salman Rushdie, Harry Macklowe and girlfriend Patricia Landeau, and the film’s power producer Jenno Topping, whose family’s behind Topping Riding Club in Sagaponack, LI.
On Saturday at Guild Hall, Natalie Portman’s new biopic, “Jackie,” will screen and guests expected include Rudy Giuliani, Bobby Flay, Joy Behar, Ronald Lauder, Steve Schwarzman and Steve Kroft. The real Jackie Kennedy summered as a child at nearby World War I-era East Hampton estate, Lasata, now owned by designer Reed Krakoff.
