The Savoy was packed last night for the Irish premiere of the latest Steven Spielberg flick, War of the Worlds, starring Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning. This much anticipated movie has had critics buzzing as it was not available for preview in advance of the premiere.
In attendance last night were actress Brenda Fricker, TV stars Pamela Flood and Alan Hughes, Neil Jordan and his son Daniel, Niall McCrudden, Eric McCarthy and David Kaneswaren of boyband ZOO, Neil Hannon with his wife Orla, Sinead Ryan and Malachy Geelan. No sign of the TomKat circus though.
With amazing action scenes, the movie also offers super performances from Cruise, who is back in his most suited role as hyped action hero. I'm making a prediction that the young Fanning will surely be nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award.
It's a summer blockbuster for sure.
