On Monday, Paramount flew a bunch of us over to London to see a preview screening of Peter Jackson's latest film, The Lovely Bones, which stars Saoirse Ronan.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Ronan, who plays the lead Susie Salmon, along with other members of the cast, including Michael Imperioli (you might know him as Tony Soprano's nephew, Christopher), Rose McIvor who plays Lindsey Salmon, and the very classy Susan Sarandon (I'm serious, the woman is a goddess. In which case this picture would be more appropriate, but you know I'm a fan of cheap shots)
The World Premiere was held in the lashings of rain in London's Leicester Square last night (it even attracted some Royals, wouldn't you know). Earlier that day, the cast sat in different hotel rooms in Claridges Hotel and answered questions flung at them by a herd of journalists from home and abroad (namely Japan. Why there were five of them I don't know.)
As the film isn't due for release until January 29th, we'll be bringing you the interviews in the New Year. In the interim, however, I'll give you the usual blow by blow account of the last two days - once I've cleared the mail backlog, and do a million and one other things, namely horsing into a hearty lunch. Ravenous. So, realistically, it'll be later this evening or tomorrow *hangs head*. Or next January...
Until then, enjoy the gallery of delights including Michael Imperioli's date's reaction to his conversational skills; this rampant attention seeker; Edith Bowman's footwear; and the doctor off EastEnders who has exceptionally dodgy taste in women.
