Treading the extended blue carpet were the stars of the film, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore and Laz Alonso, together with composer James Horner and fellow Oscar-winner, producer Jon Landau. The array of guests eager for an early glimpse of this much-heralded new fantasy-adventure included world champion boxers Joe Calzaghe and David Haye, actor and comedian Simon Pegg, and singers James Blunt and Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Hollywood glamour and Broadway glitz came to town on December 3, when the World Premiere of NINE, the musical drama based on Federico Fellini’s classic “8½”, was held at the Odeon, Leicester Square. Academy Award® winners Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench and Nicole Kidman joined Oscar® nominees Kate Hudson and director Rob Marshall (“Chicago”) in bringing an impressive display of star power to the dazzling red carpet.
THE LOVELY BONES ROYAL FILM PERFORMANCE AND WORLD PREMIERE
On November 24, it was the Royal film event of the year at London’s Odeon Leicester Square, as their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall braved the elements to join Academy Award® winners Peter Jackson and Susan Sarandon for the Royal Film Performance and World Premiere of THE LOVELY BONES, adapted from the critically acclaimed best-selling novel by Alice Sebold.
Despite the rain, the younger stars of the film took time to sign autographs and pose for photographs with the excited fans. Saoirse Ronan, Rose McIver, Caroline Dando and Reece Ritchie were joined on the carpet by British celebrities including Stephen Fry, Andy Serkis and Chris Eubank, in anticipation of a first glimpse of the eagerly awaited film. All of the proceeds from the evening benefited the film industry charity The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.
