It was a major night of red carpet action last night, with premieres for Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Disney Pixar's Brave.

Several major film releases, including Pixar's Brave and Tim Burton's latest project Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, received their premieres last night during a busy night of red carpet action.

It was Keira Knightley, though, who really shone on at the premiere of her new film Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Knightley has taken a break from her usual period roles to star alongside Steve Carell in the comedy. The film follows a man trying to reunite with his high school sweetheart as an asteroid nears Earth and he finds his wife has fled in a panic. Accompanying him is his neighbor (Knightley) who inadvertently causes havoc in his plans.
