Alien: Covenant

Snatched

  • Jenni Spinner (a freelancer I’ve worked with) alerted me to this story about a “Thank You!” message that appeared before the movie, patting audiences on the back for actually coming to see the movie in theaters.

  • Director James Mangold released a short black-and-white trailer for the “Logan Noir” version of the movie that’s getting limited release this weekend and which will appear on specific home video editions.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
