Star Wars: The Last Jedi Poster and Tickets
What an awesome week for Star Wars news! First, a new theatrical poster for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was revealed by none other than director Rian Johnson! The poster is amazing–so much red (what does it mean?!), action poses, and the main characters front and center. Luke and Leia looking directly into the camera dramatically, letting fans know this is their tale. Quite a powerful image. Also this week were announcements for several Star Wars: The Last Jedi ticket offers and giveaways. Tickets for the film went on sale Sunday when the official trailer was released. But there are special events coming in celebration of the new movie. Check out the list of events here, and see if any are available in your town!

Bill & Ted 3
The adventure isn’t over! During NYCC this week Keanu Reeves revealed the title for the new Bill & Ted movie (not yet in production). It’s called Bill & Ted Face the Music. Here are a few plot details from Mr. Reeves–“It’s a cautionary tale. They’re supposed to save the world. But when we see them, they haven’t saved the world, and they’re married and have kids. And they’re playing to nobody. … But they have to write the song… and face the music!”. Here’s hoping a script comes soon, and filming starts up!
The Predator
