SUPER-SECURITY FOR KEVIN SPACEY’S WORLD PREMIERE OF 21
Top security will be in place for tonight’s world premiere screening of Kevin Spacey’s new 21 movie at Planet Hollywood Resort.
Executives at Columbia Pictures have issued stern warnings about illegal video pirating as the film doesn’t fully open until March 28. In fact, they’ve even ordered all guests be monitored for unauthorized recordings. Everybody attending has been warned that there will be surveillance and physical searches by security personnel, and that anybody being caught with recording devices and telephones with recording capability will be denied admission, and any attempt to record will cause the device to be confiscated, immediate removal from the theater and would-be pirates will be immediately reported to Vegas police officers on duty there. Each guest, including the stars, will be required to show a valid photo id also for entrance!
“They simply want to stop any bootleg copies being sent here in America or overseas. They will do everything to prevent the movie being pirated,” I was told.
Acclaimed actor Kevin Spacey leads his all-star cast of Laurence Fishburne, Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess for the world premiere screening of the new 21 movie.
Scenes for the story of how a math-class of MIT computer students took our Vegas casinos for millions were shot in and around Vegas, including at the new Planet Hollywood Resort where tonight’s red carpet gala will be held.
After the premiere, all the stars, director Robert Luketic and all the producers will attend a party at the new Privé nightclub. The top-line security will be in effect because Vegas gets a two-week jump on the rest of the country. A special ShoWest Ensemble award will be presented to Kevin Spacey’s accomplished cast tomorrow night at the ongoing ShoWest movie exhibitor’s convention closing ceremonies at the Bally’s/Paris resort casinos.
