Along with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. (Also dead on guys!) Cillian Murphy was there too (not very personable, met him twice always looks stoned and aloof)

I somehow got a a special ticket from 20th Century Fox to the event in Belfast's Queen's Film Theatre.

The highlight of the evening was after the screening I met Ms Harris and we talked in the bar drinks in hand and she was such a pleasant lady and hard to believe that it was herself in the movie as she in real life seems placid, not like her character who was very violent and loud. Her own English accent is softly spoken and indeed she's very attractive. I do like to watch any films she appears in as she made a nice impression and it's great to see an ordinary lass from Finsbury Park make it. She's the advantage of having a Jamican mother so can play a Caribbean accent really well. Hope her feet remain on the ground despite her good fortune in movies, I think so!

Thanks for sharing your story of meeting actress Naomie Harris. :)

Sounds like Mika in Ninja Assassins is definitely closer to Naomie Harris' true personality compared to Selena from 28DL!

I met her on the set of Street Kings. Really nice lady and sounded very sweet with her English accent like you said. There was an extra kinda talking her ear off, but she politely listened as the scene would not be too challenging for her since she had no lines. This was the funeral scene with Chief Darrel Gates (RIP).

I met her while working on Dead Man's Chest. She's very pleasant. Even though the contacts she wore irritated her eyes she didn't complain.
