EXPERIENCE THE LEGEND IN IMAX 3D AT THE CINEMARK IMAX THEATRE
Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience to open in Tulsa, OK on November 16, 2007
Plano, TX, – Prepare to journey back to a time of legendary heroes! On November 16, 2007 at the Cinemark IMAX Theatre in Tulsa moviegoers will experience the epic tale of Beowulf told as never before - in stunning IMAX 3D. The Cinemark IMAX Theatre is located at 10802 East 71st Street South in Tulsa, OK.
Beowulf has been converted into IMAX 3D and re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® through IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. Moviegoers will be transported inside the film to experience the action, heroism, and bravery of Beowulf brought to life. Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience will debut concurrently with the nationwide 35mm and digital 3D releases from Paramount Pictures on November 16th.
The film’s director, Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis, stated, “IMAX 3D has enabled us to tell stories in a whole new way, and we are very excited to offer moviegoers a chance to experience Beowulf in this incredible format.” “IMAX lends itself to the incredible image detail in Beowulf and in 3D; it will transport the audience directly into the story.”
In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous yet seductive mother in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend. Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the Beowulf saga that has never been told before. Beowulf stars Ray Winstone in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as the corrupt King Hrothgar, as well as John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman, and Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother. Neil Gaiman (“Mirrormask, the graphic novel,” “Sandman”) & Roger Avary (“Pulp Fiction”) adapted the legend for the screen.
