I plan on getting a digital camera before the year end. The Drew ET autograph is the first thing I want to post up.
Maybe you forgot but I'd still like some info on how the premieres are set up in the UK. Are the crowds more pushy/rowdy. Are security nicer that their US counterparts. Also do they close off the streets or certain areas. Please let me know. Thanks!
I'll answer since I'm here
99% of London premieres happen in Leicester Sq, a square closed at all times to public traffic, making it easy to set up premieres. Security are normally fine, there's a large crowd space so that it isn't all pushed into one area, and security are there, but normally don't cause a fuss, unless it's needed.
It can be rowdy, but the ones I have done have been fine (although I've not done many), but the ones I have done I have had no problem with pushing or with security (Clooney, Depp, Knightley, Winslet, Sigourney Weaver et al)
Some people I know have gone, and some dealers have been so pushy or violent that they've come back with broken watches or scratches, worst case I know of is of a woman going to try and get someone and ending up with a crakced rib from a pushing dealer.
Hope this is somewhat helpful!
