‘Logan’ Black & White Screening Locations Announced, Most Of America Is Screwed

Now we have the official details on where you can see Logan in black and white, or Logan Noir as it’s being dubbed, and the bad news is that most of the country won’t even have an opportunity to see this alternate version of the movie on the big screen.
You might notice that fans in the Midwest are pretty much screwed if they want to the black and white version of Logan in theaters. For me personally, the closest theater showing Logan Noir is on Omaha, Nebraska, roughly eight hours away. There used to be an Alamo Drafthouse location in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but it recently closed.
I can’t stress how annoying it is when Alamo Drafthouse is the only location hosting special event screenings like this. I wish studios would expand their reach to give fans outside of major cities like Los Angeles and New York (and in this case Texas) a chance to enjoy opportunities like this. Not even Chicago is being given a screening of Logan Noir, and that’s just ridiculous.
Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to attend one of these Logan screenings, attendees are urged to attend wearing only black and white clothing. In fact, at the Brooklyn screening this is required and will be strictly enforced. Those audience members in proper black and white attire will receive an exclusive commemorative event poster.
The good news is that fans who are still interested in seeing Logan in black and white will be able to watch it when the film hits home video on on Digital HD on May 16 and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 23. It’s listed among the special features on the home video release right here:

Touting an R-rating, allowing fans to finally see Logan’s legendary berserk rage unleashed, Mangold brings a visceral and gritty realism to the story, based on one of Marvel Comics’ most popular characters. In the near future, a weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) in a hideout on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are upended when a young mutant (Dafne Keen) arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
In addition to nearly 90 minutes of original content, including deleted scenes and a behind-the-scenes documentary, the Blu-ray™ will also include Logan Noir, a black and white version of the film that gives the acclaimed story an all-new look.
