I doubt London will be included now. Will have to p*y to see it now unless I win a competition! Glad others have tickets!

London people should not moan. You have more opportunities for previews than anyone from elsewhere. You also have more opportunities to see films at the cinema, including all limited releases and retrospectives.

I find it interesting that this film is being previewed out in the sticks more than any other I can ever remember, especially since there are very few screenings at the main cities where previews are usually held.

Any theories as to why it has happened for this film? Is it the conflict over the DVD release? Or the conflict over 3D screens being used for Avatar? Or is it going to be a shit film?

I moan as much as I like! I'd like to see it as well and it's pretty unlikely the London folks will receive tickets to the premiere.

Got 2 for Didsbury. o/

Thanks all for the updates and for adding to the excitement.

Sorry there's no London screenings for those of you down there.

Maybe its to do with the potential boycott or maybe because its advertised as a "simultaneous regional premiere screening"

Hope everyone else manages to get tickets.

Fingers crossed its good, certainly looks stunning.

Maybe it was because London was the only city in the UK to show Avatar!

Londoners may have more chances to see a preview, but they are still first come first served and as there are many MANY Londoners applying you are not always guaranteed a ticket.

I feel we are all free to moan as much as we want, especially as we've been waiting over a week and today was frantic with many of us hitting refresh, typing an update on this thread and then only to find that there's not even ONE screening in our city. Why not express our disappointment??

Poo pants!! Upset that London wasn't even mentioned once on the list, I would have been willing to travel to a awkward location to watch this too!! Oh well...
Preferred cinemas: All Central London: APOLLO Piccadilly, EMPIRE Leicester Sq; ODEONS: Leicester Sq/Covent Garden/West End/Whiteleys/Panton St; VUE: West End/Fulham/Islington, CINEWORLD: Haymarket/Shaftesbury Ave; Brixton Ritzy,
Then: Westfield, o2, Clapham
