GNOMEO AND JULIET
Stars, celebrities and children thronged the narrow path between the builders' hoardings, which had been transformed for the afternoon into a magic garden, as they arrived at London's Odeon Leicester Square for the UK Premiere of eOne's animated 3D adventure GNOMEO & JULIET on Sunday, 30th January. Executive producer Sir Elton John led the celebrations, alongside director Kelly Asbury and producers David Furnish, Steve Hamilton Shaw and Baker Bloodworth. The stars of the film, Emily Blunt, Matt Lucas, Ashley Jensen and Stephen Merchant joined them on the green grass carpet, together with celebrities and their families, including Elizabeth Hurley, Boy George, Gail Porter, Alex James, Tania Bryer, Gary Lucy and Trinny Woodall. The afternoon was brought to a rousing conclusion when the executive producer took to the stage with a barnstorming performance of 'Crocodile Rock'.
The miniature monuments are voiced by massive household names including James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Matt Lucas, Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Stephen Merchant, Ashley Jensen, Jason Statham and Ozzy Osbourne to gnome a few! Featuring classic and original songs by Sir Elton John and directed by Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2) GNOMEO AND JULIET is a great love story……with a very small difference.
GNOMEO AND JULIET is released by eOne and will open nationwide on February 11th, 2011
