Things We Saw Today: Our First Glimpse of AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead SDCC Poster

AMC has released its SDCC poster for the upcoming Walking Dead companion series, Fear the Walking Dead. Check it out, along with some other photos from the new show, over at ComingSoon.net!

• Gkids has acquired the US rights to Studiocanal’s upcoming animated feature, April and the Extraordinary World, in which Marion Cotillard voices the titular April. They plan on a release in both English and French in early 2016. (via Variety)
• Novelist Zadie Smith is set to write her first screenplay with French director, Claire Denis, and Smith’s husband, poet Nick Laird. It’s a sci-fi screenplay “set in another solar system beyond ours in a ‘future that seems like the present.'” Female-helmed sci-fi story? Sounds like fun! (via Vulture)

So, Chris Pratt and a bunch of zookeepers think they’re badass for imitating a pivotal scene in Jurassic World? Well…did any of them make their dinosaurs entirely out of balloons? Didn’t think so. (via epicballoons on Instagram)
