Volcano messes with the film industry now! Iron Man 2 world premiere switched to LA

It is one thing for millions of people to be stranded in foreign climbs, but it another for that ash cloud, caused by an Icelandic volcano, to mess with the film industry. The planned world premiere of Iron Man 2 was set to take place at the Vue Westfield in London a week today (April 26), but due to that ‘ash cloud’ it will now take place in Hollywood. Good news for US readers, no so good for UK folk who had tickets to the first film to premiere at the new multiplex in one of the country’s biggest and newest shopping malls.

This is the statement from Sony.

Due to the continuing air travel uncertainty, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have taken the decision to move the IRON MAN 2 World Premiere and junket to Los Angeles.

A press release will be in issued in due course advising details of this event and confirming talent attendance.

Advanced discussions are in progress about  a special screening at the Vue Westfield, the original venue for the World Premiere on 26th April.
