Planet Hollywood Hosts Red Carpet World Premiere of “88 Minutes”

Last Wednesday I attended the World Premiere at Planet Hollywood for the new thriller “88 Minutes”. Kicking off the event was the red carpet arrivals of the film’s star Al Pacino, his co-stars Lee Lee Sobieski, Alicia Witt, Benjamin McKenzie, William Forsythe, Christopher Redman, Deborah Kara Unger, Leah Cairns, Trilby Glover, director Jon Avnet, writer Gary Scott Thompson, producer Randall Emmett, actor and Sylvester Stallone lookalike Chuck Zito, boxer Joe Calzaghe, actresses Summer Altice, Azie Testai, Christa Campbell and May 1999 Playboy Playmate of the Month Tishara Cousino.

Before the lights went down inside the theatre (home of Stomp Out Loud), the film’s director Jon Avnet came onto the stage and before introducing the film, he addressed the packed audience by praising its star, Al Pacino. Avnet said that the movie got made because of the actor, and called Pacino “a national treasure and a mench.”

After the film was over invited guests trekked over to the nearby Prive nightclub for an after party where there was an open bar, servers offering an array of tasty appetizers, and a chance to mingle with the cast from 88 minutes.
