• Nativity 2

In London on Tuesday (17 July) there was a preview screening of David Tennant's movie Nativity 2. Currently there appears to be some doubt regarding the name of the movie, as some industry websites are calling it Nativity Two: The Second Coming (which was the working title while it was being filmed) but other industry websites are calling it Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger.
