The show starts at 7 p.m. Danish time with a televised real time "live from London" 45 minute report from the red carpet London premiere of the film. No doubt, such an arrangement may also be available for other theatres who are screening the film that day. In London, the red carpet event will be attended by director Ron Howard, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr plus other VIP-guests and film people, according to the Danish page.
Ron Howard was in London on Tuesday for what now seems to have been a dress rehearsal for the premiere, with a special screening for an invited audience, which was attended by British celebrities, actress Julie Walters and and Notting Hill director Richard Curtis and other, famous faces (see report here).
Here's the schedule (from this page):
7.00-7.45 Red Carpet - Live fra London
8.00-9.40 Eight days a week: The Touring Years - World Premiere
10.00-10.30 The Shea Stadium Concert – fully remastered
From this, we gather that the film itself is 1 hour and 40 minutes, or 100 minutes, if you like. Furthermore, if we look at distributor UiP's film page, listed as participants in the film, are actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Sigourney Weaver.
Brian Viner from the Daily Mail went to Howard's London screening on Tuesday, here's how he feels about the film: Daily Mail review of the recent London screening. Another review was posted by Uncut magazine here.
The red carpet event mimics the London premieres of "A Hard Day's Night", "Help!" and "Yellow Submarine", where all the Beatles were in attendance. As the group fell apart, the London premiere of "Let It Be" was not attended by any of them. Nice to see the living members of the group attending a new Beatles film, once again named after one of their songs.
We also expect a song from the film one of these days.
