Madrid Premiere Photos

30th October 2012

After having gone their separate ways to simultaneously cover the Rome and Zurich premieres, Craig was united with his Bond girl, Naomie Harris, as well as Sam Mendes and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for an impressive premiere in Madrid, Spain on 29th October. The premiere was originally scheduled for 27th October at the Teatro Espanol, but was ultimately pushed back a couple of days for fear that demonstrations in the capital would disrupt proceedings. As usual fans lined the red carpet, hoping to get a glimpse of the stars and a gun barrel-camera was set up on the carpet so that celebrities and attendees could pose in the centre of the classic Bond icon.
