[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 422760, member: 23"] The buzz around the 50th Anniversary seems fairly low key, but there are a few things bubbling away. There's various merchandise, some of which seems a bit tacky, such as water bottles and cross-body bags. Some is great fun, though, like the Lego set which I've had a go at building myself. The remaining Bruce is to be on display at one of the Universal parks. Empire has given the anniversary its own cover, one a production photo of Spielberg getting ready to shoot Bruce and the other this atmospheric painting: [CENTER][IMG width="539px"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GnnoLpJWoAALHdc?format=jpg&name=large[/IMG][/CENTER] Then there's the film itself. It's back in cinemas from August, which seems quite late in the year to me, since Amity is a summer town that needs summer dollars. I don't know if it will also show up on British shores, but I feel I've ticked that box anyway. There's also a new 4K Blu-ray release.
