Geoffrey Rush, Abbie Cornish - "Elizabeth" premiere

Unread post by nowandagain »

Hi everyone :D

Like eug, I also attended the Melbourne premiere of Elizabeth: The Golden Age which was held at the Rivoli Cinemas on Sunday evening.

The weather wasn't very nice that day as it was raining. This was probably one of the reasons there wasn't too many fans lining up on the red carpet (and plus the red carpet was shorter than usual). I ended up getting a great spot right at the front near the photographers and media.

Geoffrey, Abbie and Shekhar Kapur (the director) didn't arrive until about after 6:30pm (the premiere was scheduled at 5:30pm) and I managed to get autographs from all of them and photos with both Geoffrey and Abbie. I also was able to get autographs and photos with two guests who were also attending the premiere - namely Australian celebrities Bud Tingwell and Shelly Craft.

As there were not too many people waiting, both Geoffrey and Abbie were kind enough to personalise autographs as well. While Geoffrey was signing for me I was able to have a quick chat with him. As I have a rather uncommon name, while he was personalising my photo he actually asked me if I had written to him before?!? I had previously written to him on two occasions about a year apart and had received replies to both my requests back in August. It was really nice that he sort of remembered me. He then asked me a bit about myself :D

I have removed my name from the autographs I have received, so apologies for the blank patches on the photos:

Geoffrey Rush (the line above his signature was accidentally done by Abbie when she was signing :?)

Btw ... the security guard was kind enough to give me one of the Elizabeth posters after Geoffrey, Abbie and Shekhar had gone in :wink:

Hi!
Your autographs and photos are amazing!
I got about 20 photos, but i dont think they are postworthy, but well done!
i also had the chance to speak to geoffrey for a couple of minutes. i just asked him about the film and why he likes doing Elizabethan era films etc. he was really nice.
Abbie just asked me if i was planning on taking one of the posters that she had just signed and i just said yes...that was bout it it, she sounded unwell...so yeah it was an awesome effort for her to come at all!

i love the photos you got signed and it was nice of them to personalize them, like they did for everyone there i think.
The ninth photo you have posted could well be of him signing my things, i was right next to the women who gave him the roses....anyway!
great success, and hopefully we'll both be at more melbourne premieres!

Congrads! That's awsome! And how nice of them to sign and take photos. Guess it was lucky it was a rainy day. I couldn't make it as I was filming a short film in West Preston :P Ironic, ha ha ah!

OMG! Abbie Cornish's signiture is very messy, ha ha ah ah!

Great pics and autos! You're very lucky!

That is sooo funny and cool he remembered you wrote to him! Thats awsome!

I know Abbie wasn't exactly feeling well at the premiere as her voice sounded really off :?. I hope she gets better soon!

Anyway, Abbie's autograph is really messy on my photo because:

1. She has a (kind of) complicated signature
2. She started spelling my name wrong on the photo so she kept trying to fix it up
3. She then proceeded to autograph the photo and part of her autograph went over my personalisation
4. While she was signing, she accidentally went off the photo which explains the line seen on top of Geoffrey's autograph and then had to "finish off" her autograph on the photo of her.

Oh well. At least I got her autograph and that she was kind enough to sign and take photos with fans :wink:
