THREE Hollywood heavyweights have just been confirmed to attend the Total Film & Sky Movies Red London Red Carpet Preview to talk exclusively about life in the movies.
Heavily-tipped to direct the Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit, Pan’s Labyrinth genius Guillermo Del Toro will be attending to introduce footage from his Hellboy sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army as well as a live, on-stage question and answer session.
In addition to this, Doomsday director Neil Marshall and Oscar-winning, Chronicles of Narnia prosthetic make-up and creature designer, Howard Berger will each host live question and answer sessions.
Ticket holders to the Total Film & Sky Movies Red Carpet Preview 2008 will also be treated to exclusive video messages from stars including Daniel Craig, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards and many more.
Virgin Radio presenter Ben Jones has also been confirmed to host the London Red Carpet Preview event as part of a media partnership with the station.
A life-long film fanatic, Ben will also contribute some exclusive editorial to Total Film issue 141, which goes on sale on 17 April 2008. Total Film and Sky Movies are also delighted to announce a media partnership with the UK’s leading weekly men’s magazine Shortlist.
“It’s fantastic that for the first time, the UK is getting such an exclusive, forward looking film event for film fans to get their teeth into,” said Ben. “There are plenty of backward-looking events, such as award shows, but nothing that gives fans a genuine, insider’s glimpse into the next 12 months of films and I’m thrilled to be a part of that.”
Total Film publisher Simon Maxwell added: “The Total Film & Sky Movies Red Carpet Preview is set to be the film event of the year that will give film fans a chance to see exclusive footage and meet the talent from 2008 movie releases before the rest of the country.”
