Gigolos on Leicester Square

Two years ago I drank Guinness in All Bar One on Leicester Sq before watching Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith at the Odeon. Two years on, I'm in the same bar with Trevor, again drinking Guinness. Except today, we're going to walk across the square to watch The Gigolos at the Prince Charles. Strange feeling, one of the strangest so far. It's Bank Holiday Monday and Leicester Sq seems busy. But will people walk off the street to watch The Gigolos? We haven't got any small green Jedi with lightsabres, although the Force is strong with Sacha when charming the older ladies.

Outside the Prince Charles people stare at the poster. Some go in. If only we had an extended run in the West End - it would work, people want to see this film.

The Prince Charles is a great venue. Top people - they show us to the Quentin Tarantino Bar (QT loves this cinema, what more do you need?), then the Kevin Smith Memorial Cubicle. Kevin Smith was here recently and joked that he deserved a memorial bar as much as QT. So the cinema gave him a cubicle.

120 or so watch the film. Good for a bank holiday. But is it enough for more screenings? Who knows. But we've achieved something great here. We've put an indie, debut Brit film with two new actors playing the leads on in the heart of the West End. Plus, Katherine Kelly who plays Becky Grainger in CORONATION STREET came, loved it & we had drinks afterwards. What more do you need?

We've caught the bug. Leicester Square is where we need to be. For this film, or the next.
