Updated from the red carpet! Prince of Persia World Premiere today! Watch it here and follow WDW at the red carpet!

Update: Weldome to Westfield and the Prince of Persia red carpet. As you can see, it's taken over the whole shopping centre (although one has managed to fit in a little light shopping). The trailer is being played repeatedly, the Parkour guys are practising and the pens are filling. I'm fortunate to be in a prize winner's pen at the front by the stage where the interveiws take place so this is going to be amazing! Stay tuned! Back to my cup of tea...



Morning! The day has arrived! Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton and the Prince of Persia crew are no doubt geting ready for what will be an incredible day for them and for us. You can watch the whole event in the video screen below or at the PoP Facebook page. Please follow me on Twitter as I tweet throughout the day from the red carpet in the Westfield Centre atrium and I will do my best to update the post with pictures. A full report to follow! I think I need some coffee...

Prince of Persia premiere - the schedule:

4:15pm: Warm up show
5:00pm: Stars arrive on the red carpet
5:40pm: Enjoy gravity-defying performances from some of the world’s leading Parkour & free-running athletes 3RUN
5:50pm: Alex Zane will interview the movie’s stars and filmmakers live in The Atrium. Look out for Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley, director Mike Newell and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Free video streaming by Ustream

You can watch the livestreaming also on the PoP Facebook page and full details at the official Prince of Persia site

Dang! Can't get streaming to work!!!!

Unknown said...

I can´t see it!!!!

Leslie said...

I think there was a delay it wasn't working for me but now I've got the live stream up. Keep trying!

T said...

No Sound on my live stream - anyone else got probs?

Leslie said...

I'm finally getting sound now. I kept refreshing the page until it worked.

Carol said...

I had problems with the livestream aswell. Kept getting a black screen. OK now though

BBMISwear said...

I think I just saw WDW! If it's her she is under the screen (they don't show it much as interviewer faces this area) and she is standing right in front in between a girl with red on and a guy with a plaid shirt. Did anyone else see her? Do you think this is her? So cool!! :-)

Carol said...

I think I saw her aswell BBMISwear:)

BBMISwear said...

I'm glad you saw too Carol! OMG they just did a close up of her...Gemma is there...Jake probably will too!!!

BBMISwear said...

I meant...if Gemma went over to where she is standing then Jake probably will too! I can't type...I'm so excited for her!!!

Leslie said...

Jake looks fantastic. I love that he's trying to get the crowd all excited and loud! You can tell he's really excited to promote this film.

I'm hoping Jake does another impression of Mike Newell I love his impressions of him.

BBMISwear said...

How cool to see WDW and Jake on the screen at the same time!!!!!!n Whooowheee!!! This stream better be recorded and available later...

I missed the red carpet but just caught the end of the presentation with Alex Zane. Gemma looks beautiful, I love her dress. I think I saw WDW too!

just finished watching the red carpet and it was GREAT. I noticed how Jake waved to the crowd.

Did you get to see him WDW? (autograph?)

I'm so mad they showed PoP footage that we've seen a gazillion times at the end of the broadcast instead of the cast leaving the stage and entering the theater and MAYBE going over the waiting fans!! Grrrrr!! But Jake looked and sounded great as usual and I can't wait for an update from WDW!!!

Carol said...

Looking forward to a WDW update:)

Stace said...

Ugh...I got up at around 10:30 am my time and completely forgot that 5 pm London time was 10 am my time. Thought I was still in the Eastern time zone and that everything started at 12 my time.

I hope they did record it so we can see it again. *sigh*

In any case, Jake looks scrumptious and it's funny how he's always navigating large dresses. Gemma is gorgeous though I think the choice of red lipstick against the paleness of her coloring and outfit doesn't work. Love that he took time to sign autographs and take pictures. Hopefully, you got plenty of pics and stories to tell, WDW!

Leslie said...

BBMISwear: I wanted more footage and interviews with the cast as well. It seems like the premiere is a big hit though.

I still can't believe this is ONLY the beginning, there's still an L.A premiere and US promotions to be done :-D

T said...

Oh wow... fan me down how hot did he look?? Found some nice pics on getty images.com & wire image but nothing will compare to WDW pics up close & personal - cant wait

I hope he stays in the UK for another few days but i think its cannes next :(

Ruby said...

Squeeeeee!

What a great afternoon!!! WDW is having a fit of the vapours, but she's deliriously happy and is trying to calm down enough to comment when she gets back from the bar. :)

Ruby said...

Oh my god! This is WDW here. Amazing. Jake held my arm and said thanks when I told him how much I loved his films. Off now to see PoP again and then a BIG post! Oh my God!

BBMISwear said...

So exciting WDW!!! We need to hear more as soon as you can share!! :-)

Leslie said...

Ahhh!!!

So exciting that you got to talk to Jake. I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to read all the details later!

Leslie said...

Just saw these pics posted on Just Jared. Jake looks so sexy!

This is Anouska! Jake was so lovely when he held the little boy (mini Prince of Persia). What a lovely genuine guy. Anouska x.

Carol said...

That's great you got to talk to Jake WDW. I'm so delighted for you:)

Enjoy the movie and can't wait to hear all the details of today on your post later.
