"If you've been following along, you know that we're pretty damn
excited about the upcoming release of our 3D film, Metallica Through the
Never. Today we have big news as the movie goes extreme next level with
IMAX! Starting September 27th, 2013 our movie will be shown exclusively
on EVERY single screen in EVERY single IMAX theatre in North America
for a full week. That's over 300 theatres that we'll be unleashing
Through The Never to... an IMAX first! There really is no better way
than this to experience film and promises to amount to an unprecedented
and very unique visit to the movies.
Don't have an IMAX theatre nearby? No problem! The movie will roll
into additional theatres in full 3D one week later on October 4th. In
the meantime we're editing and putting the finishing touches on the
film, so keep watching here for many more details, photos, and video
clips from our live extravaganza filmed last summer in Vancouver. With
so many of you playing a very important role on those nights, we are
anxious to begin to share it all with you very soon and we'll see you in
the theatres this Fall!"
An official press release states:
IMAX Corporation and Picturehouse today announced that
Metallica Through the Never, filmmaker Nimród Antal's captivating 3D movie
featuring one of music's most enduring and iconic bands, will be
digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX 3D format and released
wide in North America exclusively into IMAX®theatres for a one-week
engagement starting Friday, September 27th. The film will expand into
additional theatres on October 4th.
Starring Metallica, a cast of thousands of their fans and breakout
star Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Metallica
Through the Never is written and directed by award-winning filmmaker
Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll) and produced by former IMAX film
producer Charlotte Huggins (Journey to the Center of the Earth). The
film marries groundbreaking footage and editing techniques with a
compelling narrative, in which a band crew member (played by DeHaan) is
sent out on a mission during Metallica's roaring live set in front of a
sold-out arena. While on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life
turned completely upside down.
"IMAX! It doesn't get bigger or cooler than that!" said
Lars Ulrich who formed Metallica in 1981 together with James Hetfield. "For four
guys in a rock band of average height, to get a chance to unleash their
3D film on IMAX screens the size of buildings across the country is a
mind-blowing thought. 'Hey look, Mom, I'm 50 feet tall (finally!)' There
is no better way to experience film and when you throw in the spectacle
of music and sound this should amount to an unprecedented, unique and
truly next level experience."
"The totally immersive experience of IMAX 3D is the perfect
complement to Metallica's in-your-face, big and loud performance style,"
said Bob Berney, CEO of Picturehouse. "The combination of the band's
music and a strong storyline create a unique cinematic experience for
die-hard fans and general moviegoers alike."
"Nimród Antal and Metallica have done a tremendous job capturing the
essence of the band's commanding live performances and have created a
visual and aural cinematic spectacle," said Greg Foster, Chairman and
President of IMAX Entertainment. "We believe the power of The IMAX
Experience will deliver for Metallica fans and ensure they feel every
part of this journey."
The IMAX 3D release of Metallica Through the Never will be digitally
re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience
with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The
crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry
and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make
audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
