|
The man of steel will be even more larger than life on the huge IMAX 3D screen.
IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures have announced that Superman Returns, directed by Bryan Singer, will become the world's first live-action Hollywood feature to be converted from 2D to IMAX 3D. However, the conversion will only be used on 20 minutes of the actual live action movie via sequences.
Audiences will get to see the full-length movie, but certain visual cues during the movie will prompt them to put on and remove their IMAX 3D glasses for what is being labeled as "The IMAX Experience."
"Releasing select sequences of Superman Returns in IMAX 3D marks a groundbreaking moment in movies," said Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures. "This film is going to give fans an opportunity to be immersed in a major live-action motion picture like never before."
Following a mysterious absence of several years, Clark Kent returns to Earth as the Man of Steel, Superman. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has apparently moved on with her life.
Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space.
"The test scenes that have been converted into IMAX 3D look, sound and feel absolutely amazing," added Bryan Singer, Director of Superman Returns. "The magic of IMAX 3D will envelop audiences in this story, enabling them to feel the emotion, drama and suspense in a completely new and unique way."
Superman Returns is rated PG-13 and is being released on June 28 to regular theaters, IMAX theaters, and IMAX 3D screens.
