Stunning Ant-Man and the Wasp mural from Jim Vision

August 8, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The cruel gods of the schedule decided that Ant-Man and the Wasp would make it to the UK long after the movie hit theatres in the States. The plus side to this wait is fresh marketing ideas by the UK promotion team. Cue Jim Vision and End of the Line. This mural can be found […]

What if your smart speaker could hear something you couldn’t? Whisper is a new type of horror movie. I don’t think there’s anything new about concerning style.
