Today is #GivingTuesday2024 and here's where we're at on The First Martian. We're currently color grading and the work our colorist has done so far is amazing! After the grade is complete, we'll move onto VFX which will really make our futuristic world of Mars come alive!

Happy to announce that we locked picture last month! We've now been working on the film’s color grade, which will be followed by visual effects work. It’s been a long editing journey but we’re confident we’ve found the best version of the film ❤️
Stay tuned; more to come!

We are grateful for the Supreme Court's rejection of arguments to ban mifepristone, an important medication for reproductive care in a variety of circumstances. While yesterday's rejection was based on the plaintiffs' lack of standing, we hope future challenges will also fail, as
