“The Age of Stupid” will be launched on March 15th in a solar cinematent in the park in Leicester Square, and simultaneously at more than 60 other venues, includingThe Eden Project and a kids-only event in Fulham. As an INclusive, rather than EXclusive,premiere, the public can buy tickets (£10, from today) to their local cinema and watch the

green carpet

arrivals and post-film Q&Alive by satellite link-up from London. The whole event -but not the complete film, obviously - will also stream live on the internet and in Second Life.

Eco-Premiere

.The star of the film, Pete Postlethwaite, will arrive by solar car before posingfor the papparazzi on the green carpet. Other celebs will come on foot, bicycle, bike rickshaw,public transport or biodiesel cars (chip fat from local Leicester Square chippies will becollected in wheelbarrows by youth volunteers on the Friday). Every part of the event - frompower sources, to food, to transport, to ink, to clothing - is genuinely green, as opposed togreenwashed. Full eco-audit available soon:
