The film-show itself was not without incidents. Although 20th Century Fox had reserved one of the most beautiful venues in Athens, the speech of the characters began to differ from the picture and subtitles in the middle of the film. At first, the audience politely waited and gave the technical staff a minute to fix the failure, but shouting and clapping began a little later. Finally, a representative of the organisation who was sitting in the third row in the hall had to run to the cabin of the film projector operator to alert him to fix the problem.

The organisation of the premiere was initiated by the prevention centre for children with cerebral palsy. Daniel Day Lewis has a special relationship with the organisation in Athens of which he is a long-time supporter. The chairwoman of the organisation Daphne Economou expressed her special gratitude to the actor, who has not failed to attend in the past five years the premiere of every one of his films in Athens and to help the centre and the 240 children with cerebral palsy that it shelters. She did not fail to note before the audience of the Pallas Theatre that Lewis has been doing a lot for children in need and that not only does he offer moral support to people suffering from the serious disease, but also helps in the fund-raising to support the activities of the centre.

The price of tickets was 20 euro for the premiere and the meeting with the actor and 30 euro for admission to the cocktail. The proceeds from the sale will go to the prevention centre of children with cerebral palsy.
