Premiere
Coverage
The World
Premiere for the latest Stephen King book to movie adaptation DREAMCATCHER
took place in Westwood, CA, at the Mann Village on March 19, 2003. The
cast includes Morgan Freeman, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis, Donnie Wahlberg
and Timothy Olyphant, all of whom were on hand to chat with the press.
(Stars Tom Sizemore and Thomas Jane and screenwriter William Goldman were
there too, but sadly, I missed them. Check out the junket interviews
instead.)

| Timothy Olyphant, who plays beer-swilling, psychic Pete in the movie. I must admit, I haven't seen much of Tim's previous film work, but he sure seems like a fun person. |
| Jason Lee, who plays one of my favorite characters in Dreamcatcher, "Beaver", a guy who loves toothpicks enough to risk his life for them. Like he says, "It's a real fuckarow!" He's pictured here with his lovely date, Beth Riesgraf. |
| My literary hero, the incomparable Mr. Stephen King. It was pleasant surprise to learn that he'd be attending the premiere, and even more pleasant to get the chance to talk to him. See the toothpick in homage to the Beaver character? Too cool! Also, I like his new glasses. |
| The ever-cool, nattily dressed Mr. Morgan Freeman. One of my favorite actors of all time. He loves to play games with the reporters — at the press junket, he said that inspiration for his Col. Curtis character came from Dr. Strangelove... on the press line, he said not so! |
|
Director, Lawrence Kasdan. Kasdan, I thought, did a great job of bringing a very difficult, multi-faceted, genre-bending novel to the big screen. Dreamcatcher won't be winning the Best Picture Oscar next year, but it's fun! If you like wild, full-on horror action, you won't be disappointed. |
| Damian Lewis, who plays both Jonesy (a human) and Mr. Grey (an alien residing in Jonesy's body). Not an easy role, having to exchange dialog with oneself, but he carries it off well. |
| Donnie Wahlberg, who plays the most pivotal character in the movie, "Duddits" the living dreamcatcher. I haven't seen all of Wahlberg's movies, but this could be his best performance to date. |
| Me, signing off after a long night, ready to visit the sandman. |
| I didn't have the presence of mind to move my hair out of the way for the above pics, but I am wearing my dreamcatcher earrings :) |
