The global event will start in Australia before moving to Asia and then onto Europe and Central America with the stars of the film satellite linked in to every event live from London.
The world premiere of PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME will be the first ever to take place in London’s most exciting entertainment and leisure and shopping destination, Westfield London with the screening at the Vue Westfield, the UK’s number one, newest and most innovative purpose built all digital cinema complex.
