FIRE IN BABYLON PREMIERE; Sport and Film Collide.

WALK THE RED, GOLD AND GREEN CARPET WITH THE STARS AT THE
FIRE IN BABYLON PREMIERE

The must attend premiere of the month takes place on Monday 9th May as celebrities from the world of sport and film gather to celebrate the release of the highly acclaimed FIRE IN BABYLON.

Taking place at the Odeon, Leicester Square, the premiere is opening its doors to the public and if you’re a sports or cricket fan this is an event not to be missed!

FIRE IN BABYLON charts the glorious supremacy of the West Indies cricket team throughout the late ‘70s and ‘80s and proves the bat and ball were more effective than gunfire in the battle against racial injustice and struggle for black rights.

In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa; race-riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers struck a wonderfully defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice world-wide.

With Caribbean flair, fearless spirit and a thumping reggae beat, they hijacked the genteel game of the privileged elite and replayed it on their own terms.

If you’d like to be in the presence of legends such as Sir Viv Richards and Michael Holding amongst a host of others then book your seat today and don’t miss this amazing and inspirational film.

Ticket prices range from £100 for the Royal Circle, £50 for the Rear Circle and £25 for Stalls. Simply log on to www.odeon.co.uk and go to London Leicester Sq/ Fire in Babylon.

FIRE IN BABYLON will be screened as a limited release in cinemas nationwide on May 20 2011
Followed by the DVD release on June 6 2011

The 23rd annual Sunday Times Rich List – the definitive guide to wealth in Britain and Ireland – is published in a special 104-page supplement, which profiles the 1,000 richest people and families in the UK and the 250 richest across Ireland. The list is based on identifiable wealth (land, property, other assets such as art and racehorses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies), and excludes bank accounts (to which the paper has no access).

The Sunday Times Rich List 2011 is compiled by Philip Beresford, the leading authority on British wealth, and edited by Ian Coxon. Ireland’s richest 250 is compiled by Colm Murphy.

{Spotted} Christian Bale

Batman actor Christian Bale returned to London last night, where he enjoyed a quiet evening with his family for a change. The movie star was spotted in iconic restaurant The Red Fort on Dean Street in Soho, dining on the venue’s trademark Indian Mughal Court cooking. This civilised occasion was in a stark contrast to Bale’s previous family engagements in the capital.
