If, like us, Japan's just a little too far to travel for the premiere of Paul W.S. Anderson's action horror sequel Resident Evil: Afterlife, we can at least offer you the next best thing.

Thanks to the magic of Internet technology, we bring you a live feed of the movie's red carpet action as it happens, which should, barring any technical gremlins, begin at 5:30pm Tokyo time, equating to 9:30am in the UK.

The event is scheduled to last for around an hour and a half, and should feature plenty of posh clothes, clamouring photographers and interviews with Afterlife's stars before they're whisked into the cinema to don their 3D specs.

If the cogs and pulleys are generously greased, you should also be able to chat in the box just below the live stream.

Resident Evil: Afterlife will be released in the UK on 10 September.
