Last night (for the second time), Captain Planet from the musical group-4×4, Fred Nuamah and ‘myself’ joined Hollywood actress-Zoe Saldana, Takao Osawa, Nanako Matsushima, Tatsuya Fujiwara, Rasaroi Dawson, Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard and other celebrities for the red carpet premiere of the movies- Blood Ties and Shield of Straw…
Shield of Straw is set in a small Japanese town where a 7-year-old girl is found dead after being raped; DNA evidence fingers a suspect for a previous, similar crime still at large: Kiyomaru (Tatsuya Fujiwara).
His name and photo are released to the media and a manhunt begins. But then this little girl’s wealthy grandfather Ninagawa (Tsutomo Yamazaki) offers a billion-yen reward for killing the man.
Terrified, the culprit actually hands himself over to the police who must protect someone who sickens them, and transport him to Tokyo for trial through a country now swarming with hostile vigilantes: cops, gangsters, and ordinary people with kitchen knives. Everyone is crazy for the cash offer, and this grandfather is actually paying out smaller sums to people who’ve just attempted to kill Kiyomaru.
Check out the photos below from the red carpet premiere
After the movie, we decided to grab some food before heading to our hotel-Night life at Cannes is splendid! No wonder prostitutes out here makes as much as £40,000 a night…
Check out the trailer of Shield of Straw

For whatever reason, my attention has been brought to the fact that some readers are saying the photos are photoshopped! Not sure what they mean by that….
I have decided to upload the rest of the photos (ALL) and hope this will settle any doubt.
