http://www.undercover.com...rince.html The Hollywood premiere of The Matrix Reloaded took place today at the Mann Village Theatre and Prince was there.

The celebrity roll-out for the Hollywood premiere not only included his royal purpleness but the cast members including Hugo Weaving, Carrie-Anne Moss, Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Nona Gaye.

Others in attendance were Sandra Bullock, Harry Hamlin, Melissa Joan Hart, Ashton Kutcher, Lucy Lui, Tobey Maquire, Tara Reid, Ice Cube, Chris Judd, Will Smith, Tori Spelling, and Daman Wayans.

The Australian premiere of the movie takes place at the Hoyts cinema complex at Fox Studios on May 15 but unlike the Hollywood premiere the Sydney showing looks like being devoid of stars with the exception of Australia's rent-a-crowd soapies. The main stars of the movie including Weaving, Moss, Fishburne and Reeves won't be at the Aussie premiere, even though it takes place at the exact same location the movie was shot.

It appears the stars are too busy spin doctoring the Northern Hemisphere to find time for their own premiere.

Hope there are some photos somewhere...





buuhhh...

Hmm... I guess Nona Gaye gave him a couple of ticket's...

According to this site, he was on the guest list (Interesting considering it was done by his old friends at Warner):

The Matrix Reloaded will b presenting in Cannes (South of France) 4 the Film Festival on May 15th. Is Prince gonna b there ? If u got some news about it, answer me quickly.

dnaplaya said:

yeah. i'm surprised they didn't cuss his mum and hit him with a stick.

WB have never discredited him on the record. why would they..? they own his music. the bigger a star he's seen as the more value it's adds to their back catalouge.

jesus. it's not hard.

Pozitivity said:

LOL I wonder if they spoke to each other, and how that went given her recent statements about him in Essence magazine.

hey nupwr, could you hook us up with a link or a summary of nona's statements?

i think nona's STILL waiting in the backyard

Maybe he took that "Hollywood Hermit" stuff to heart and decided to start being a little more visible. Good for him.

If I am not mistaken Prince and Lawrence Fishburn are, for lack of a better word, friends.

On one of the Tonight Show Appearances, Prince talks of how he pulled a prank on Lawernce (getting Lawrence really bad seats to one of his shows) because Lawrence wouldn't tell him anything about the plot of "The Matrix ReLoaded."

Wasnt it the plot to "The Matrix"? Not the Matrix Reloaded... oh well, in any sense you are right NBJ.

Just so everyone knows...

What is the difference between a screening and a premiere? Why would all the celebrities mentioned go to the same movie two nights in a row? Don't make any sense man.

Easy lovemachine. because whoever wrote this article was talking about something that did NOT happen yet. Get it? It is like saying the Lakers played the Spurs tonight. Right now, they have not played them yet, but later tonight they will have. Make sense now? Who ever wrote that on the site was hella-lame basicaly.

The screening was for movie insiders and celebs who wanted to go. Not many celebs went sicne it was at the Warner Movie lot. ALL those celebs mentioned are to attend TONIGHT, not last night. Get it? That is the guest list for tonight..even says MAY 07, 2003.



Look at the link from which the story originated from. Does not exactly look very professional does it?

And you mean to tell me that this site scooped more known entertainment outlets like access hollywood, ET, Yahoo Entertainment, Entertainment Weekely and People Magazine?

And your finger on the VCR record trigga'!

dnaplaya said:

Yeah, I saw that one too... I did not feel it was all the relevant because it was pre event information. It is well known Warner Bros are behind The Matrix...

NuPwrSoul said:

This is Nona in the film...

End Transmission... 8)

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Prince and Nona Gaye cross paths. Given her statement about him in Essence magazine,it may not be a pretty sight. By the way, the Matrix Reloaded will beat all the summer moves this year.

NuPwrSoul said:

Someone please tell me what Nona Gaye had to say about Prince. I am not buying essence to find out.

I find it slightly disturbing that none of us have better things to do with our lives. hmmm
