Some new character posters:









But why did they have to show Driver and Damon in those helmets, FFS...

Last Duel is an 18 in Ireland, which is very rare for a major studio film.

BBFC (UK) and IFC (Ireland) ratings have always been the same in my experience. So I guess an 18 for UK as well then. 

Kingdom of Heaven is a 15 BBFC/IFC by the way.

I think I prefer the Robbie Collin synopses over the official synopses.

It would be surprising. Only Rated R in the US and -18 in Europe?
It seemed to me that Americans were more cautious ...

I'm pretty sure it will be -12 in France.

Yeah, American R-ratings usually translate to 15's in the UK.

I guess it must have been those massive pork pies that tipped the scale.

A friend saw the film yesterday in Paris during the press screening. He gave it a good 8/10. (That said Ridley Scott is his favorite director.)
The embargo will last until early October.

Another "friend" who saw it in Venice gave him 9/10.

A review embargo is rather bizarre given that all the Venice Film Festival reviews have already been published.

Yeah bizarre, they have to wait until next week to talk about the film on twitter and a few days to give their opinion in the press. But I believe this is a fairly common practice.
Maybe they'll wait for a possible premiere in Paris to release review. Especially from what I heard, the feedback is going to be good.

Did he comment on Jodie's performance?

The featurette is cool. The movie looks really fantastic.

I'm waiting for his little review.

Yeah, already cannot wait to purchase Blu-ray. It'll have shit loads of bonus stuff..

I hope so, Blu-ray releases are awfully bare-bones these days.

20th should hopefully release that featurette online within the next few days.

Get a witch doctor to resurrect CdL for the special features.
