Exclusive pics from W's U.K. premiere!
On Thursday night, at the London Film Festival, held the Gala premiere of Oliver Stones W. and braving the rain, rabid press photographers, a dutch hack with the worlds biggest umbrella, and a particularly crazy Russian TV reporter I managed to get a few shots. Before that though, don't forget to check out my review of the movie! Ive been to a few of these premieres before but the gauntlet the actors face is still an eye-opener. Especially when they are as beautiful as Elizabeth Banks, who plays Laura Bush in the movie... 
Walking down the red carpet with the press and tv crews on one side and the public on the other, each of them yelling and screaming for attention; and at the end near the cinema entrance the banks of the paparazzi. Its like watching a march towards a firing squad. Still, the actors and Oliver Stone know why theyre there and they sign autographs, do the chit-chat, pose on queue, even do a bit of hair combing (that's you Mr. Stone). 
At one particulary scary moment Rebecca Loos stepped into shot, but after shouting 'Security!' a few times she wandered off. You cant help getting caught up in it, and pretty soon youre yelling names like everyone else and camera skills go straight out the window, you're just taking pictures like a loon. Of course, thats when Josh Brolin suddenly appears and you get a picture of him staring at the ground But I did manage to set some better shots by the end of the night... 
W opens Nov. 7th in the U.K. and is currently playing in U.S. cinema's!
