Amanda, Chero and Brittany flew to London yesterday and came to the cast and crew screening. I'll let them tell you about the film! Though I can confirm that Amanda cried. After the film they were introduced to Benny, Alwin and Danny - Cillian was there at the start, but we couldn't find him afterwards (there were about 1200 people, it was a bit chaotic!). Today, we are going to a press conference attended by Danny, Andrew, Benny, Cillian and Brian Cox... I will make sure they meet Andrew and Cillian there. Then we are going off to the British Film Institute for *another* screening of the film and a Q&A with Danny. I know they are looking forward to seeing the film again. They, like most people, were a bit overwhelmed by it on the first viewing. You definitely need to see it more than once in order to take it all in. A friend of mine was there yesterday who had already seen it once. She said she liked the film the first time ("beautiful" "cinematic" "intense"), but this second time was far more poignant. She picked up way more meaning, noticed all the nuances, was 'choked up' several times, as she already knew what was going on and could watch it in a different way. And she's not a sci-fi fan at all.

Straight off the plane and all I can say is--
OH MY GOD.
You guys are going to love it.
Seriously. I've tried and tried to come up with an eloquent and even slightly articulate way of describing it and there's nothing. A lot of "Gahsdklfja," is basically what comes out of my mouth. I've gushed to everyone who I've spoken with since I got home (not to mention Chero and Brittany in the hotel room and over dinner and while shopping and on the subway and on the escalators and those times when we were waiting in queues or crossing the street), and the poor people at passport control and customs and security in the airports, as well as the passengers who happened to be so lucky as to stand near us all know now that they MUST watch it the very second it comes out.
You guys are going to LOVE it. Seriously.
Maybe after I've had time to myself to think a bit about it I'll be able to write something else. I kind of went fangirl crazy with Chero and Brittany and Gia, though. xP

Aww... Cillian! you guys are so lucky. I wish I can meet the guy. Or at least just catch a glimpse of him personally. Even just a picture. *sigh*
