Stars descended upon the French Riviera town with the whole team of Troy gathering at its world premiere. The film figures in the out-of-competition category.

An epic of such a lavish scale as Troy is a first for German filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen, who is recognised for his work in films like The Perfect Storm, Air Force One and Outbreak.

Will Troy be the Oscar-winning film of Petersen's career?

In the picture: Eric Bana, Saffron Burrows, Sean Bean, Mrs Wolfgang Petersen, Petersen, Pitt, Aniston, Orlando Bloom and Diane Kruger.
