The lineup for the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival has been announced and if you're a Twilight fan, prepare to be jealous. The LAFF will host an invitation-only world premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse a full six days before its release to the ravenous, abs-deprived public. Also on tap: Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are Alright (co-starring Annette Benning, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Mia Wasikowska), will kick the festival off on June 17, Despicable Me (the 3D animated flick featuring the voices of Steve Carell, Russell Brand, Jason Segal, Will Arnett and Julie Andrews) closes things down on June 27 and the Duplass brothers' much-anticipated Cyrus will screen, too.
