The long-awaited premiere of Stormbreaker was a not-so-top secret event in London's Leicester Square.
Press Packer Joe went on a mission to find out all the celeb news from the red carpet.
"I was really looking forward to seeing the film because I've read all the books and was excited to see how they would make it into a film.
I got to Leicester Square and it was packed full of people who had been waiting for hours to get a good view to see the stars.
The crowd were going crazy for everything, they were even asking me for my autograph!
Press Packer Joe interviewing Alex Pettyfer
|
I did a bit of filming on the red carpet before all the press were told we had to go into our press pen because the stars of the film were about to arrive.
Alex Pettyfer arrived and the crowd went mad! Everyone was screaming his name and he seemed really excited.
It was his first premiere so he was bouncing around trying to chat to as many people as possible, and then he came to chat to me.
He was really nice and very chilled out. He told me that he'd had to train in martial arts and bodybuilding, as well as learning how to drive a quad bike.
He did some of the stunts himself but fortunately the giant jellyfish wasn't real! But it was still realistic enough to frighten the action hero of the film. He told me: "Even though it was a rubber puppet with strings, I was still scared!"
The director, Geoffrey Sax, told me that they exploded the tank full of 80 gallons of water to get the real effect of the jellyfish attack scene.
Alex and Ewan McGregor who plays his uncle

Bill Nighy was really funny, and Ewan McGregor was there who plays Alex's uncle. And Alicia Silverstone was lovely.
What was really cool, was that after interviewing the stars and watching them go in to watch the film, I then got to watch it too.
I'm writing a review for the website in which you can read what I thought of it, but it was excellent, and weird to watch the people in it that I'd just been chatting to!"
