London photo of the day: setting up Mr. Banks

Mon, Oct 21, 2013

As we press stumbled out of our early-morning screening of Saving Mr. Banks today, workmen were transforming the cinema for its world-premiere gala screening later in the evening. (In Leicester Square.)

The film is magical, by the way.

I wonder what really constitutes a “première” now.

Last night was the first public showing of *Mr Banks.* And there’s been only few very press screenings, all of which was supposed to be embargoed until 11pm last night, though a few outlets jumped the gun.

In other words, this was a true world premiere.
