On today’s is a stunningly beautiful Indian summer morning in England’s North-West and I have been indulging in the Guardian‘s weekend supplement. One of the features was an interview with Dame Judi Dench, the iconic actress of Shakespearean as well as James Bondian fame. It is well worth a read but the little bit that caught my attention for the sake of this blog was to be found at the very end: Dench’s upcoming movie (Jude Law and a few others star, too), “Rage”, a project with arthouse director Sally Potter, will see its world premiere not in some swish viewing room or cinema in SoHo but on mobile phones. The prosaic announcement read:
Rage premieres on mobile phones on 21 September and in cinemas on 24 September. For details, go to ragemovie.com.
And that was that.
I find it noteworthy not only that it would happen at all but also that it appears to be somewhat normal, so that no one would actually bother to point it out specifically. Sometimes, progress moves in indiscernible little steps that can happen on stunningly beautiful mornings. This is one of them.
