X” marks the skies for ‘First Class’ promotion”
What better way to salute America’s armed services than with giant Xs?
As the survivors of the classic sci-fi film The Thing said in 1951, “Keep watching the skies!” Specifically, this Memorial Day weekend you should scan the stratosphere for an invasion of promotional material. According to a new press release for X-Men: First Class, which opens June 3:
To celebrate our nation’s servicemembers, Twentieth Century Fox will paint the skies over 5 major cities this weekend, and Atlanta has been selected as one of the chosen.
Be on the lookout for giant X’s to unfurl downtown near Centennial Olympic Park and Underground Atlanta as well as Piedmont Park, Stone Mountain Park and Callaway Gardens.
It’s not whether the X’s will be in form of skywriting, banners pulled by planes, or Magneto using his powers of magnetism to levitate raiload ties.
