La Fortunata Vita: A Report from the Match Point Premiere - Page 4

After a group pose when the cast arrived, they made their way slowly down the press gauntlet. The actual Emily Mortimer showed up and she was a delight. She wore a peach dress and stopped to chat with Senora Bicho. She talked about her excitement in getting the call, meeting Woody and getting the script although she was already to sign-up before reading it. She spoke about the first few days of working on the film, feeling as if she was in a dream because she couldn’t believe she was working with Woody.

Scarlett Johansson looked exquisite in her golden dress with ample cleavage. She was so radiantly beautiful that she nearly overwhelmed the senses with a power that could be used for evil if in the wrong hands. I wasn’t concerned about Scarlett asking me to run off with her and leave my wife, which I would have, because I was concerned about her asking my wife to run off and leave me, which she probably would have. Scarlett jokingly said her favorite part of working with Woody was that they got to eat Chinese food for lunch every day; the wonton soup being a special favorite.

The reporter from EW was annoying and a bit dense. Self-deluded into thinking he’s some sort of investigative journalist, he began asking Scarlett about projects other than Match Point.

This selfish ass wasted everyone else’s time quizzing Scarlett on The Nanny Diaries, which is pre-production, and Borgia which had just been announced. He even grilled her about Napoleon. She said it was in development and was way too early to talk about. Lucky for him, I was moving through the pit taking pictures or else I would have embarrassed him by asking Scarlett, “Can I ask you about this project?” and stealing her away from him.

The young male cast members worked their way down to us. Everyone wanted to talk with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, while no one seemed aware of who Matthew Goode was. Jonathan had a question and a request at every step. A photographer came over and asked for a picture of Scarlett and him.
