The San Diego Comic-Con festivities were an opportunity to discover in more detail a certain film The Knights of the Zodiac, it looks bad …
Sorry if this news breaks your fan heart, but the live adaptation of The Knights of the Zodiac seems… special. It’s the least we can say, as evidenced by the first images that were unveiled during a making-off in a select committee.
