Very last minute notice but “The Children of Huang Shi” is having a premiere at the Landmark Theatres in Los Angeles this evening at 7:30pm. Giant Robot was offering free tickets to the premiere and post-screening reception. No word on what cast will be in attendance, but Jonathan should be in Los Angeles right now for the taping of Ellen and press junkets, and may attend along with director Roger Spottiswoode.
The film will be premiering in Australia, under the title of “Children of the Silk Road” on June 14th during the Sydney Film Festival. You can purchase tickets online. The movie will be out in theatrical release by Fox Searchlight later on in July.

The American Red Cross of Greater New York is holding a special premiere of “The Children of Huang Shi” on Sunday, May 18 at 6:30pm at the DGA Theatre (110 W. 57th St.) There will be a pre-screening reception with director and cast and post screening reception. You can learn more on the NY Red Cross website, where you can also purchase tickets (starting at $100/ticket.) The premiere is being held to benefit Red Cross volunteer recruitment and preparedness training in “at risk” communities in New York City.
Additionally, Jonathan will be attending press rounds on May 15 in Los Angeles and May 19 in NYC. This is where he’s able to interview with a variety of online and TV press one after another in one place.

VH-1 is holding an auction to walk the red carpet and attend the “August Rush” premiere to be held in New York City in November. Starting bid is $500. The auction ends on September 30.
The auction benefits the Save the Music foundation - a perfect charity combination for this music themed film! Thanks to Yaz for finding this link!
Jonathan is featured in the October issue of the UK edition of InStyle magazine. It’s in promotion of the new XX/XY fragrances coming out.
“August Rush” will be screening at a premiere event at the 2007 Heartland Film festival on October 18 in Indianapolis, IN. Producer Richard Barton Lewis is scheduled to attend the premiere. No other cast or crew have been announced to attend. You can buy tickets online for a 4:30pm matinee screening ($20) or the 7:30pm evening screening with a reception and Q+A afterwards ($30). They are also selling tickets for a special dinner before the evening screening ($125).
“August Rush” was also recently awarded a Heartland Truly Moving Picture Award. This is a watermark that studios can use in posters and ads to inform audiences about a film’s uplifting message and appeal.
Finally, the soundtrack for “August Rush” is due for release on November 6. You can pre-order it on Amazon now. There is no track listing or cover yet, but it’s very likely songs Jonathan sings for the movie will be featured on the soundtrack.
