That's great - thank you for bringing the board this opportunity Karen!

woohoo This is a great opportunity! Thanks Karen for offering this to :jdr members. I wish I could go but animal issues are in the way tomorrow ,and I doubt I could make it in time. Hope some lucky :jdr people will be in attendance! :)

This is a great opportunity and the film looks really good. I wish I could go, but my boss already let me leave early once for another screening...what was the movie again? :P Thanks Karen and I hope some JDR members can attend!

awwwwww I missed the deadline :(

I hope whoever gets to attend has a great time and gives a full report!

Im sorry, it was one of those short windows of opportunity. :(

Ya never know, there may be more like this coming?

I understand Karen.....these things come fast and furious! I'm sure many more wonderful opportunities will arise ;)

Karen, I know you get short notice on these events and it just didn't work out for me this time. We all appreciate you being able to offer us these great events. :)

Maybe next time. ;) :crossfingers

My late local news just had a brief bit from the premiere---video of Brad, Angelina and John Malkovich---hope someone from :jdr was able to attend!

Oh wow. How cool is that. I think it's absolutely fantastic to offer such opportunities to JDR, Karen. :) I'll never be able to make use of them actually, since I live sooooooooooo far away, but I'm happy for everyone who's actually able to go and attend such premieres.

And to whoever attended the Beowulf premiere: I hope you had a great time and I'd love to know what the movie is like. I'm thinking about going to see it myself, but so far I wasn't really sure what to make of it. So a review would be fantastic to make up my mind. :)

No report yet? :( I really wanted to know about this film. Was anyone able to attend?

Yes we had someone who was able to go. Sorry, she's said that she would get us a report as quickly as she could.

Thank you Karen.....I was worried nobody made it :unsure:

Oh, excellent! I hope they enjoyed it.

I did enjoy it! Thanks so much Karen for the JDR opportunity to attend The Beowulf premiere. It was fun to go to the check in table with all the other industry people to pick up my tickets. After we picked up our tickets, we had time to watch the stars arrive outside the theater . Pretty much all of them went out to sign autographs for the fans that were waiting. I got Ray Winstone 's ( who plays Beowulf autograph. They had a whole Beowulf Village set up where the press was. We weren't allowed to go in that area of course. But we were allowed to walk in one area that lead right to the red carpet part that lead into the theater. All the stars entered that way after doing press stuff in the village. We got free sodas and popcorn and then got to our seats. While waiting for the movie which started about 15 minutes late, I went to the bathroom and I saw Anthony Hopkins in the lobby signing autographs, so I got another program from the door and had him sign it. B) Brad Pitt was being escorted in as I was walking back in so I got to get a close up look at him. Handsome in person. I was very surprised to see that after the movie was out the stars walked out the same way as the crowd. Most left during the credits, but I did see Nicolette Sheridan and the guy who plays Jerry Jax on General Hospital ( he is in the movie ) being escorted out to wait for their cars. There was two theaters showing the movie. When I picked up my tickets, they said if the Village theater was full then we had to go to the Bruin which was for overflow. But we went in early enough and got to sit in the Village theater where the stars were.

As for the movie. I am not a fan of Beowulf and wasn't sure how I would like it. However , I enjoyed it very much. It is very different with great effects, scary moments, violent , excellent fight scenes, The perfect fantasy movie .The acting is also great with terrific performances by John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins and Ray Winstone. It was in 3D which made it even more entertaining!

Thanks to JDR for this opportunity to attend a real premiere!

That sounds amazing! Congrats on being able to go, having a good time and getting those autographs.

Since you said you don't like Beowulf but did like the movie I've decided to give it a try myself.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. woohoo

Many thanks for taking the time to write up your report for us! I appreciate it! Glad to hear that you had a good time!! :thumbsup

Thanks deppsdarling---sounds like a great time! Quite a few stars you were able to see as well. Glad you enjoyed the film, too!

So glad you enjoyed the film/experience, Deppsdarling! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! :thumbsup

Deppsdarling, that's wonderful you got Ray Winstone's autograph. I enjoy his work very much. He also played Sweeney Todd in another film, non-musical version I believe. I've been wanting to see it but can't find it anywhere to rent :( Anyways, I'm glad you had fun! What great a marvelous opportunity; I heart JDR.

Lauralestat, have you tried your local public library? I got my copy there*, completely free--the best deal in town. It was a BBC made-for-TV movie.

*Unfortunately, I didn't have time to watch it at the time, but I'll probably check it out again some day.

Too cool Deppsdarling woohoo

Sounds like you had an experience of a lifetime!

Dreams do happen at :jdr

It was fun, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks to jdr.
