Desperate Journey London premiere: Set up underway in Leicester Square for tonight's premiere at Odeon Luxe
Annabel Jankel’s dark historic romance movie will premiere in London’s Leicester Square tonight.
Set up is currently underway in Leicester Square for the London premiere of Desperate Journey.
The premiere will take place at the Odeon Luxe in the heart of London’s cinema district this evening (18th November).
The film’s stars, including Lucas Lynggaard Tonnesen (Netflix’s The Rain), Clara Rugaard, Til Schweiger, and Steven Berkoff (Rambo, The Tourist, and Octopussy), are expected to walk the red carpet tonight.
Desperate Journey follows the story of Freddie Knoller, a young Jewish man who flees Vienna during the rise of Nazi Germany and ends up in 1940s Paris, where he gets involved with the burlesque scene.
The film, based on Knoller's true story, is a drama, history, romance, and thriller directed by Annabel Jankel and is set to be released in UK cinemas on November 28, 2025.
Scenes in London show a dark and mysterious backdrop set up outside the Odeon Luxe, featuring the movie’s posters and title.
As with most events in Leicester Square, the premiere is expected to begin at around 5:45pm, with stars hitting the carpet at around 6pm.
