Any idea when it’s showing on this side of the pond (UK)? I had a long chat with Maya about the project a few years back, would love to see how it turned out. I knew some of the players from the team, not sure who’s in the movie.

Curious: Is Mr. Saunders the same JS who once worked for SAAB and later co-founded aviationX?
