I graphed the Resident Evil Retribution premiere this week and it was a pretty awesome premiere. I went in really wanting to get Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez and even though Michelle was a no-show, Milla more than made up for it by signing up a storm.
Below is my 11x14 cast piece I worked on. I got everyone in one color and got Milla Jovovich, Paul W.S. Anderson, Aryana Engineer, Boris Kodjoe, Shawn Roberts, and Kevin Durand on it.
Laura Vandervoort came to the premiere and I brought one 11x14 along and she signed it for me no problem. She's usually really nice.
Shawn Roberts was pretty cool and signed for everybody who asked. I didn't have any individuals along but added him to my cast 11x14.
Aryana Engineer plays Becky in the movie and I also didn't have any individuals along so I just added her to my cast 11x14.
Same story for Boris Kodjoe, I didn't have any individuals but I added him to my cast 11x14.
I did however have some individuals along for Sienna Guillory. She didn't sign for long but I quickly moved and got directly in front of her when she first picked up the sharpie and started signing. I got her on all five of my individual 11x14s but she was avoiding cast shots (no idea why) so I couldn't get her on my cast 11x14.
Oded Fehr showed up and I got him on one individual 11x14, but again I did not have any luck adding him to my cast 11x14.
Kevin Durand is a pretty nice guy and is good about signing. I got him on two individual 11x14s and also my cast 11x14.
I also added director Paul W.S. Anderson to my cast piece.
And lastly was one of the coolest displays by a celebrity I've seen this year. Milla Jovovich was amazing. She signed for a solid twenty five minutes. Literally all the collectors were out of photos and just stood around in back watching her sign receipts, hands, everything. I got all my ten photos signed in the first ten minutes, then walked around for a while, then asked some friends if they had any left, then I took some photos of her, then I stood around some more, then I took a minutes of video of her. She was still signing when I left for the night. Bravo Milla.
Oh and Milla even gave her purse to a little girl who was a fan of hers. Seriously, she emptied her purse and handed it to the little girl in the photo above (who freaked out and screamed with joy)

Here's my nine 11x14 photos I got signed. I also added her to my cast 11x14.
Thank you Milla for making a ton of fan's night.
