Law due at Sky Captain premiere

Jude Law stars as a pilot

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law are due to attend the London premiere of their futuristic movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

In the film Law plays a heroic pilot who joins forces with an ace reporter, played by Paltrow, to save the world from giant robots.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow has already topped the US box office.

Among guests expected at the premiere is Law's ex-wife Sadie Frost who co-produced the film.

The pair have remained friends and Law was recently seen at Frost's latest fashion show.

Sky Captain, directed by Kerry Conran, also stars Angelina Jolie and Michael Gambon, who plays the boss of Paltrow's reporter character Polly Perkins. Public outing

The film was filmed using blue screen technology - the actors perform in front of a blank screen and the scenery is added later using digital effects.

The London premiere will be Paltrow's first major public UK outing since giving birth to her daughter Apple in May.

She is currently taking a break from work commitments but is set to make a cameo in the forthcoming movie This Thing Called Love.

For her brief appearance singing as Peggy Lee in the biographical film about Truman Capote she will reportedly be paid £3m.
