Grace and graciousness, magic and majesty, hospitality and hope.
Of the many challenges we’ve faced on our journey, none will be greater than outshining the gifts Abu Dhabi has given us.
On behalf of our entire cast and crew, sincerest and most heartfelt thanks to the Government of Abu Dhabi, His Excellency Mohamed Al Mubarak, the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, twofour54, Etihad Airways and CEO Tony Douglas, ADAC and CEO Shareef Al Hashmi, HM Ambassador to the UAE Patrick Moody, The United States Marine Corps and all of our incredible military personnel.
And, of course, thanks to our extraordinary local cast, crew and the very fine people of Abu Dhabi. We shall most sincerely miss you until we see you again.
Now back to London for a few finishing touches. All aboard for our greatest challenge yet...
Army of the Dead
Empire has a new photo of Matthias Schweighöfer and Dave Bautista in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.
Godzilla vs Kong
Kong’s enormous fist pastes Godzilla upside his comparatively tiny snoot—the meanie!—in the latest trailer.
Truth Seekers
According to Nick Frost, Truth Seekers has been canceled at Amazon after one season.
Sadly, Truth Seekers will not be returning for a second season. Truth Seekers has not been renewed, which is a massive kick in the willy for me. We really put our all into this – our heart and soul, and blood in some cases — so to not come back is really sad for us. It’s a shame. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell, stories that will remain untold. If you liked the show, thank you. I really, really appreciate your support. And if you didn’t, well, are you happy now? Happy now?

Snowpiercer
Layton and Miss Audrey “make a risky play for Big Alice” in the trailer for next week’s episode of Snowpiercer.
Resident Alien
Finally, Harry makes an unusual joke about the Sheriff’s genitalia in a new clip from this week’s episode of Resident Alien.

DISCUSSION
I hope to see Rian Johnson’s trilogy because out of everything in the 3rd trilogy it set up the most interesting concepts out of all of them, and was the best film IMO fight me. the fact that regular people were becoming in-tuned with the force outside of the jedi and sith. I wanted to see them crisscrossing the galaxy recruiting all these people to fight in the rebellion. not to mention the original script for 9 where it is revealed that both the strict jedi order and the hatred fueled sith are just two sides of the same coin and that both orders are wrong is honestly whats been set up for so god damn long in the series (especially in the Filoni-verse) and it pisses me off that they tossed all of that to bring out palpatine to appease the manchildren who need spoon fed story concepts instead of thinking it through.
