Titanic star Kate Winslet and rock legend Mick Jagger will attend the European premiere of a major new British film in Edinburgh next month.

Enigma, based on Robert Harris±s best-selling novel, shot partly in Scotland, stars Winslet and was produced by the Rolling Stones frontman .

The showing is a major coup for the Edinburgh Film Festival as it will only be the second time the film has been screened in public - the first was at the Sundance Film Festival in January where critics described it as "compelling", "sumptuous" and "unabashedly old-fashioned".

A romantic thriller, Enigma tells the story of British efforts to break German naval codes during the Second World War. The Enigma story revolves around the code breakers at Bletchley Park, Britain±s top secret Station X.

The movie is also being seen as a way of "setting the record straight" about just which Allied country broke the German codes. Last year±s Hollywood movie U-571 claimed Americans sailors made the discovery rather than the British.
Adapted for screen by playwright Tom Stoppard and directed by Michael Apted, Enigma is the first production venture by Mick Jagger±s Jagged Films.

The screening promises to be a "very glitzy affair" to be followed by a gala dinner at the Royal Museum of Scotland.

€With the Titanic actress, Mission Impossible II star Dougray Scott, model turned actress Saffron Burrows, and Jagger slated to attend, the premiere will be the most star-studded movie event in Scotland since 1999, when Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas all arrived in the capital for the launch of The Thomas Crown Affair and Entrapment.
