Full stream ahead! Right towards that iceberg...

Well it's certainly been an experience. There's little else that quite compares to both finishing a and releasing a film simultaneously. On the one hand you're sat in ever more fetid edit suite desperately trying not to go cross eyed slotting in the credits and visual effects shots. On the other there is a steady stream of incredulous foreign press coming round for interviews who find the story about Guy Ritchie juggling cutlery the funniest thing this year. And when I get bored I can always play a game of "dodge the writ" with the most expensive legal minds in London. In the front room Producers Fliss & Christina are doing a valiant job managing the release, and making sure that all the cinemas that have booked the film actually have something to show on friday. Given the slightly cursed track record that the film has had thus far, we are making sure that everything is sent well ahead of time to avoid any technical screw ups. Fortunately we in Britain have the best postal service in the world, so there's no chance of anything going amiss there.

Tonight is the first ever public screening at the London Film Festival, followed by "lively" Q&A. No,we haven't got any spare comps left in case anyone was wondering...
