World premiere for nanny McPhee at the first London Film Day
Thursday, 11 February 2010
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, today announced a new initiative, London Film Day. Sunday 21 March will see 15 simultaneous world premieres at suburban cinemas across the capital from Wood Green and Wandsworth to (stretching the definition of London somewhat) Romford and Croydon. The film in question is admittedly one for families more than cinephiles: Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, the second comedy scripted by Emma Thompson from the Nurse Matilda books. Thompson also reprises her role as the officious magical nanny.
The screenings will be prefaced by what publicists like to refer to as "fun in the foyer" (storytelling, workshops), and celebrity appearances are promised at some of the screenings: the cast also includes Ralph Fiennes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, Bill Bailey and Daniel Mays. For those who can't make it or who can contain their impatience, the film opens nationwide the following Friday.
