This is truly fantastic news that Ammonite will be closing the London Film Festival. The first railer for the film was only released yesterday so this is great to know. Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan in a film together is certainly going to be very special to watch!

As well as the trailer dropping for The French Dispatch, we also have this very different and unique poster for Wes Anderson’s next film.
Wes Anderson has a very distinct and different style when it comes to directing his films and so far I am yet to find out that I like, but I still give them a chance and try my very best to see what everyone else does with them. This really does have a very impressive cast mind!
If anyone would like to offer what I need to to think about with his films, please offer some advice and any I should give a second chance?
