Arthur Sando, a veteran PR executive who worked for such notable figures as Ted Turner and Larry Flynt, died Sept. 3 of a heart attack in Washington, D.C. He was 71.
Sando headed Sando Communications in recent years, based in his hometown of Washington, D.C. Starting in 2012, he served for several years as spokesman for Hustler publisher Larry Flynt’s Flynt Management Group.
In the 1980s, Sando was a top PR executive at Turner Broadcasting, working frequently with the company founder who was known for shooting from the lip, creating controversies that Sando would quietly clean up. As VP of communications and marketing, he built the company’s PR department from a few people in Atlanta to offices around the world. He was also integral in the launch of Turner’s Goodwill Games initiative designed to help bridge the Cold War gap between the U.S. and then Soviet Union.

After getting the brilliant first trailer for Michel Gondry’s next film, The We and the I, earlier this week, a great new poster has made its way online, featuring a colourful array of all the characters set against a backdrop of the New York City Subway Map.
The Oscar-winning Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) is directing from a script he co-wrote with Jeffrey Grimshaw and Paul Proch, going with a cast of largely unknowns, and it looks like we have something to really look forward to here.
“The We and the I is the heartfelt and comical story of the final bus ride home for a group of young high school students and graduates. As kids depart the bus for the last time, we get to learn about these graduates as they step into the world – their love, their conflicts, their despair and their hope.”

For awhile we've heard various details about Michel Gondry's newest film The We and the I, which will be making its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this month (stay tuned right here for all of Alex's coverage). Previously we heard that the film would follow a group of unknown actors as a group of school kids who travel into the future by mistake and discover a machine that keeps people younger. Sounded like a Gondry film to us, but with the first trailer just revealed, this looks like a Spike Lee movie, but a bit more uplifting and with a coming-of-age charm at the heart of it. At the very least, it seems refreshing. Watch it! Here's the first trailer for Michel Gondry's The We and the I via Bleeding Cool: Michel Gondry directs The We and the I from a script that he wrote with Jeffrey Grimshaw...
