Gallery additions: “Atonement”

If you follow us on Facebook/Twitter, you know we’re about to go through some changes on our photo gallery. Nothing to worry about, of course, we’re maintaining everything that’s there but duplicated images, screen captures that are too similar and too small… we’ll be mostly moving images around, so if you can’t find something at first, you should check another album or message us and we’ll help you out. The first film we’re updating is ‘Atonement’, which premiered in 2007 and earned Saoirse an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. We’ve replaced the film’s screen captures for better quality ones, added several promotional stills, a promotional photoshoot and a few posters.
