Reflections On Attending Hollywood Blockbuster Premieres


1. Always have a friend who has a role in the film. It gives you a legitimate reason for being there. Nadia has a role in the new Nicholas Cage film, Knowing. It was shot last year in Melbourne. It's Cage's latest Sci-Fi/Thriller/"It's-the-end-of-the-world!" film. Nadia plays his characters' younger sister, Grace. She does alright, our Nadia. Check it out!

2. If a Premiere hasn't been organized by Hollywood types, do it yourself. While there was a premiere in New York, there wasn't one planned for Australia...so Nadia and her partner, Benny invited a few good mates along to watch it on opening night in the city.

3. If Hollywood types haven't arranged a limo, hire a taxi. Nadia and her friend, Aaron (an entourage of one), arrived in a taxi, meeting some of us for a yummy and cheap Japanese meal before the show.

4. Be your own paparazzi.Everybody brought cameras, dressed up and did their best to make as big a fuss as we could to simulate the red carpet vibe at the Greater Union Cinemas.
