Tuesday, June 10th, 2008, the Hollywood stars were out for the gala premier of M. Night Shyamalan’s THE HAPPENING - heart-pounding paranoid thriller about a family on the run from an inexplicable and unstoppable event that threatens not only humankind . . . but the most basic human instinct of them all: survival.

For Philadelphia high school science teacher Elliot Moore (MARK WAHLBERG) what matters most is finding a way to escape the mysterious and deadly phenomenon. Though he and his wife Alma (ZOOEY DESCHANEL) are in the midst of a marital crisis, they hit the road, first by train, then by car, with Elliot's math teacher friend Julian (JOHN LEGUIZAMO) and his 8 year-old daughter Jess (ASHLYN SANCHEZ), heading for the Pennsylvania farmlands where they hope they'll be out of reach of the grisly, ever-growing attacks. Yet it soon becomes clear that no one - and nowhere - is safe. This terrifying, invisible killer cannot be outrun. It is only when Elliot begins to discover the true nature of what is lurking out there - and just what has unleashed this force that threatens the future of humanity -- that he discovers a sliver of hope that his fragile family might be able to escape what is happening.

The New York premier was held at one of the last great theaters left in the city, the Ziegfeld Theater on 54th Street. The red carpet was filled with many of THE HAPPENING’s stars, as well as the film’s director, writer and producer M. Night Shyamalan. FEARS’ photographer Jenna Andrews was on the red carpet providing us with our coverage of the star arrivals.
