Batman Begins World Premiere
May 26th, 2005
The world will get its first look at Watanabe Ken's second Hollywood venture, "Batman Begins," on May 31 at Tokyo's fashionable Roppongi Hills. Watanabe (45), currently living in Los Angeles, and star Christian Bale (31) will be in Japan for the world premier. The film goes on general release on June 18. Speaking at a PR event in London yesterday, director Christopher Nolan described Watanabe as an actor with "charisma" who he'd like to work with again. The Japanese star has a fairly minor but "important" role as Ra's al Ghul, a mentor who teaches the young Bruce Wayne about the boundaries between good and evil.
Security tight for 1st Japan screening of 'Batman Begins'
TOKYO - Security was tight at the Marunouchi Picadilly theater in Yurakucho on Thursday night for the first Japan screening of "Batman Begins," ahead of its June 18 release. Nearly 1,000 people had their bags searched and were checked by hand-held scanners in a bid by distributor Warner Bros to prevent piracy.
During the 160-minute film, security guards patroled the aisles in the darkened theater, some with starscopes, looking for anyone with a hidden camera or cell phone camera.
Security has been tight at recent premiere screenings to crack down on illegal copying of films which are then circulated on the Internet prior to the film's box office opening.
"Batman Begins" will have a gala screening at Roppongi Hills on Monday night, with director Christopher Nolan and stars Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Ken Watanabe scheduled to attend.
