YANKS, STAR WARS HAS ALTERED THE RELEASE DATE DEAL, PRAY THEY DON’T ALTER IT ANY FURTHER
For the obsessive Star Wars fans out there (I’m sure there at least one or two), you might want to consider booking flights out of America to Europe this December, the better to see The Force Awakens a few hours earlier. In fact, you should probably book a flight for tomorrow, you want to be at the front of the line don’t you?
As announced on the Star Wars official UK Facebook page, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be opening in cinemas in the UK (and Ireland? *fingers crossed*) a day earlier than in America, and in France a day earlier than that. For those Americans among you who haven’t left this tab to get onto American Airlines website, just remember to stay off Twitter on December 16th and 17th before The Force Awakens becomes available to you on the 18th, because you just know the online equivalent of this will be waiting:
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN IS MAKING A MOVIE
In a movie culture that makes anticipation of a movie coming out a greater priority than reflection on that movie once it’s come out, studios have made a big habit of announcing the release dates of their tentpole blockbusters way in advance. Hence…you know…the paragraph directly above this one. Yes I am complicit in that culture, but a guy’s got to write. Anyway, this is what leads to Warner Bros announcing the exact release date of Christopher Nolan’s next movie, before anybody knows what it’s called. Or what it’s about. Or if Michael Caine is in it.
Untitled Christopher Nolan Project Probably About Proficient But Emotionally Detached White Dude will be released on July 17th 2017, the same day as Pitch Perfect 3. Maybe instead of having a dead wife, his next film’s protagonist can have a wife who’s just ever around because she’s off seeing the new Pitch Perfect with her friends.
