Quantum of Solace Berlin Premiere
5th November 2008
Around 2,000 fans gathered at the Sony Center on Monday 3rd November
to catch a glimpse of the stars before the gala screening at
the CineStar Cinema at Potsdamer Platz. Sony Pictures Germany
chief Martin Bachmann confirmed it was the biggest movie premiere
they have ever organised. Over 1,500 tickets to the screening
had been requested.
Shortly after 7pm, Daniel Craig arrived on the red carpet to
a thunderstorm of camera flashes and applause, and spent considerable
time signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. "Berlin
is one of my favourite cities", Craig told local press before
confirming his shoulder was "doing well" and that he
no longer needed his sling.
The after-party
took place at the energy forum on the bank of the Spree in Friedrichshain,
but Craig headed directly to Lucerne and Kurylenko jetted to Rotterdam
for the Swiss and Dutch premieres respectively.
"Quantum of Solace" opens nationwide in Norway on
Friday 7th November 2008. Many cinemas are hosting
special midnight screenings with queues expected to form late
Thursday evening.
Additional events are expected to be held in Lucerne, Amsterdam,
Rome, Valencia, Sydney and Tokyo.
