Rome & Zurich Premiere Photos

27th October 2012

The James Bond franchise proved it could be in two places at the same time yesterday, when the cast and crew of 'Skyfall' split up to cover simultaneous premiere events in Europe.

Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli headed to Rome for the Italian premiere on Friday 26th October 2012 at The Space Cinema Moderno. Whilst Craig wore a slate Tom Ford suit, Harris donned another daring see through outfit similar to the world premiere.

Meanwhile over in Switzerland, Bérénice Marlohe and Javier Bardem attended the Zurich premiere with producer Michael G. Wilson and associate producer Gregg Wilson on the same night. Perhaps in a nod to the 50th anniversary, Marlohe wore a metallic golden dress with plunging neckline.

Briefing
