Dumbo Movie Premiere in London
If you missed Dumbo while it was in cinemas, here’s your chance to get your physical copy. Dumbo was released in DVD and Blue-ray on June 25, 2019. (I still remember when I saw the Disney cartoon first time as a little girl. I remember how it made me cry. Did you cry on it too?)
The adorable little elephant’s touching story was re-dreamed and re-created by Tim Burton, who is famous for his unusual, gothic fantasy films such as Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Dumbo’s live-action remake has an impressive line-up. Such Hollywood A-listers like Eva Green, Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton and Colin Farrell appear in the movie as main characters. Most of whom attended to the film’s European premiere in March in London.
Dumbo’s European Premiere was Taken Place in London
Dumbo’s European premiere was taken place on 29th March 2019 at Curzon cinema, London.
I think I can say without hesitation that Dumbo’s premiere was one of the most beautiful I have seen since I’ve visit movie premieres regularly. The street in front of Curzon turned to a 1920s circus with colourful light bulbs, red and white stripped carpet and a gorgeous themed wall, in front of which the movie stars were being photographed.
Apart from Michael Keaton, all the cast attended to the premiere. I personally wanted to meet Tim Burton and Danny DeVito the most, and I got what I wanted.
I earned a very good place behind the barriers thanks to my early start in the morning. I mean, very early. I arrived at the cinema by 5am (!) which means I had got up at 3:30am that morning.
The Cast – Tim Burton, Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell and Eva Green
Director Tim Burton was announced first, followed by Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito and Eva Green. Tim Burton signed a lot for his fans. He even took two rounds just to make sure he signed for everyone. It seemed to me he was enjoying the premiere very much (click here to watch videos); he and Colin Farrell had a lot of fan together.
How Colin Farrell ‘Ruined’ My Tim Burton Photo
Well, what happened was, I was chasing Tim Burton to get signed photo of him in my hands, when Colin Farrell suddenly appeared in front of me and just signed my Tim Burton photo. At that moment Tim Burton turned back because he knew he had missed my photo, so he wanted to sign it. Then, he saw the photo had already been signed. Colin told Tim Burton he had just sign it instead of him and busted out laughing. Of course, after this Tim didn’t want to sign it. Meh…
So, on this photo of Tim Burton you can see Colin Farrell’s signature. Thanks Colin… (haha)
After all, miraculously I was managed to get an autograph from Tim Burton too on this photo.
Danny DeVito
Danny DeVito was simply adorable. He really took the stars from the sky for his fans. He went step-by-step and signed everything for everybody taking his time for every signature.
That’s the signature I am the most proud of from Dumbo premiere.
Actually, Danny DeVito looked a bit lost on the red carpet. Unlike other members of the cast, he had to be guided from one interviewer to the other, his assistant had to chase him constantly because sometimes he just disappeared in the crowd. I saw his assistant running after him a couple of times and turning him to the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, Colin Farrell was jumping and joking all around the red carpet, he even trolled into Danny DeVito’s interviews a couple of times.
Eva Green
Eva Green arrived in a stylish green dress. She looked and acted like a diva on the carpet. She was shining. She was very friendly (I surprised how friendly and approachable she actually was), she gave lots of autographs and took many selfies with her fans.
I think this was the movie premiere I collected signatures from almost everyone: Tim Burton, Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green and many other cast members.
The Final Photo Shoot of the Cast
At the end of the premiere I was lucky enough to witness the final photo shoot on the red carpet. It was happening right in front of me, so I even took a selfie video with the whole cast. Yippee!
