A little slow this week, but enjoy the lull while you can. Next week is May which is release month. This week’s round-up:
As if you haven’t noticed this already, the closer we get to the release of Moonrise Kingdom, the more news bits are coming out of the woodwork. Sometimes they’re extremely noteworthy and merit their own post, and sometimes they’re just little blips on the radar. This week, we’re starting a new weekly Friday News Round-Up to capture the smaller things around the web that we found interesting, but weren’t quite enough to stand alone:
First, from the AV Club, a great clip of Tilda Swinton as the Social Services administrator arrives to stock of the investigation of Sam’s escape with Bruce Willis as Captain Sharp and Edward Norton as Scoutmaster Ward. Embed via The Film Stage.

The new poster for Moonrise Kingdom was just released Friday and it’s quite a departure from the domestic poster. Looking very reminiscent of the official poster for The Royal Tenebaums, the entire cast is assembled for a class photo– the same photo released just a few days ago. Again featured is the beautiful typography of Jessica Hische.
Here it is:
