Patricia| 2008-07-04 11.26 pm

The double Oscar winning actress, Meryl Streep and former James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan visited the German capital to promote their new film, the musical Mamma Mia! (the film adaptation of the successful musical from the former ABBA members, Benny Andersson und Björn Ulvaeus). Also present were the two young stars Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper, along with Christine Baranski und director Phyllida Lloyd (who also directed the original ‘Mamma Mia!’ Broadway Musical).

Meryl Streep arrived a day earlier and visited the Pergamon Museum und the Theatre am Schiffbauerdamm and would have liked to have seen more from Berlin. Pierce Brosnan only paid the city a short visit, was seen out dining with his wife. Although, if rumours are to be believed, he’s looking for a place to stay in Berlin, whilst he’s filming here next Spring.

The plot of the film follows that of the musical, in that it’s not an ABBA biography, but tells, through their songs the story of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and her mother Donna (Meryl Streep), who live on a little Greek island. Sophie plans a dream wedding with her childhood sweetheart Sky (Dominic Cooper) and would also like to have her father give her away.

The only problem being her mother has never told her who he is. Secretly she finds out from her mother’s diary, that three men (played by Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth und Stellan Skarsgård) come into question. So she invites all three. Of course without her mother’s knowledge and now the fun starts, Worth mentioning is also the fact that the actors sing the ABBA songs themselves, when not perfectly.

The cinema premiere and party for the evening were cancelled due to the strike threat from US actors, The distributors fearing the stars might support their less well paid colleagues and not show up,

Hancock German Premiere

Patricia| 2008-06-17 11.49 pm

The German Premiere of the superhero comedy Hancock, lured hundreds of fans to the Sony Center, to see their stars. Charlize Theron, Will Smith, Jason Bateman, who brought along his wife Amanda Anka (daughter of the singer Paul Anka), the director Peter Berg und producer Akiva Goldsman were all present in Berlin.

The fans went wild as the Hollywood beauty Charlize Theron appeared, but that was nothing, compared to the arrival of Will Smith where all bedlam to broke loose. His every movement was accompanied by a stampede of fans and a deafening chorus of “Will, Will, Will…”. If fans wished an autograph, a photo, a couple of words or just simply touch their superhero, Will Smith was more than happy to oblige.

Not only Will Smith, but also Charlize Theron enjoyed mingling with the crowd. Both were on top form, here and there a joke or a little playful acting for the fans or press. After more than an hour Will finally emerged on the CineStar, cinema balcony.

Once there, together with the presenter, Kai Pflaume he introduced himself and the others from the film. Kai had a present for him, a German replica football top with the name Hancock on the back. Of course Will had to put it on right away and after throwing a couple of autographed shirts into the crowd he disappeared into the cinema. Inside, autographed Euro 2008 footballs were a prized memento among the guests. Will Smith also wishing the German team the best of luck during the remainder of the tournament.

John Hancock (Will Smith) is not the typical superhero. He’s lazy, unfriendly and worst of all an alcohol addict, but he’s also invulnerable, has superhuman powers and can fly faster than the speed of sound. But his efforts to help others are wrought with trouble, partly caused by his unconventional methods and after several mishaps the population of Los Angeles have had enough. He is the one everybody loves to hate.

Fortunately a PR advisor, Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), whose life he’d saved, wants to help him resurrect his battered image. But as Hancock falls in love with Ray’s attractive wife Mary (Charlize Theron) the chaos is perfect - especially as it transpires they have surprisingly a lot more in common than at first sight..

As to be expected there were plenty of celebrities on show on the Red Carpet including; Oliver Bokern, Bruno Eyron, Tanya Neufeldt, Axel Schreiber, Gaby Papenburg with son Felix, Inge Posmyk, Franziska Knuppe, Annabelle Mandeng, Fredi Bobic, Cherno Jobatey, Manuel Cortez, Michael Marx, Hans-Reiner Schröder and his wife Kathrina, and Minu Barati-Fischer.

Sex in the City Premiere

Patricia| 2008-05-16 3.45 pm

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are back, four years after the end of the series, this time in a feature film, named surprisingly like the series “Sex and the City“. Director Michael Patrick King, Produce John Melfi and Christine Marinoni (the partner of Cynthia Nixon), also made the journey to Berlin, but went almost unnoticed as all eyes were on the four stars.

So for the second time this week, Potsdamer Platz was filled with screaming fans. Sarah Jessica Parker was the first of the leading ladies to emerge from the white limousines, and step on to the pink carpet; Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis then followed in ten minute intervals and spent over an hour with their fans.

They then appeared on the balcony of the CineStar for a couple of words in broken German, before the premiere in the cinema, where after a short discussion they sped back to their hotel, the Adlon at the Brandeburg Gate, leaving the remaining guests to enjoy the film.

The film debut of the four friends from Manhattan takes place four years after the series finale and is about, what else, men, sex, fashion and shoes. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) und Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), now over forty, continue to cope with jobs and relationships, while trying to prove themselves in motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate.

Ahead of the premiere, there was some bickering as the New Yorker weren’t pleased at being by-passed for the world premiere (London) and even Berlin came before their city (the home the series). The Berlin celebrities were piqued, as they hadn’t received an invite, but as one can see from the photos they were amply represented.

A large number if celebrities weren’t for missing the chance to show themselves on the pink carpet, including Esther Seibt, Manuel Cortez, Jan Hahn with Alissa Jung, Nadine Warmuth, Jana Ina and husband Giovanni Zarrella, Irina von Bentheim (the German voice of Sarah Jessica Parker) together with Klaus-Peter Grap, Alexandra Neldel, Jochen Schropp accompanied Kerstin Linnartz, und Tanya Neufeldt, Gedeon Burkhard in female company, Sabie C, Barbara Meier und Bettina Cramer.
