Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush (centre) plays the title role in Stephen Hopkin's The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers.

Rush, who plays the legendary comedian, is a great fan of Sellers. In an interview to The New Zealand Herald, the Australian actor said, 'I think he [Peter Sellers] became Britain's first really hip actor.'

Rush is seen here posing with the cast of the film -- (from left to right) Stephen Fry, Emilia Fox, Emily Watson and Sonia Aquino -- which was unveiled at the Majastic Barriere, during the festival.
