GAME OF THRONES is Getting an IMAX Theatrical Run!
Game of Thrones is about to get even more epic! HBO and IMAX have teamed up to bring the incredible fantasy series to IMAX! This will be the first time ever that a TV series will grace IMAX screens, and what better way to start out than with Game of Thrones.
The plan is to show the final two episodes of the fourth season, along with an exclusive trailer for the upcoming Season 5. This Game of Thrones IMAX event will run from January 23rd through the 29th at 150 theaters across the U.S.
The episodes that are being shown will go through the remastering process so that it fits the IMAX format, so we are going to get the full effect of this. If you want to attend, you'll be able to purchase tickets in the coming weeks on Imax.com. There's no word on how much it will cost, but this is definitely an event that I want to attend.
Pamela Levine, chief marketing officer at HBO said in a statement,
“The cinematic brilliance and grand scope of the series is perfect for the IMAX format. We are always looking to provide fans with new and exciting ways to experience the show and viewing two key episodes, along with the new trailer, on such an impressive platform makes for a great event.”
IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond added,
“IMAX always seeks innovative ways to provide moviegoers a unique and differentiated experience and today’s partnership with HBO and ‘Game of Thrones’ achieves just that. This deal also furthers our efforts to offer exhibitors the opportunity to participate in alternative forms of content in a new and exciting way.”
I'm excited to see how this looks on the IMAX screens. After this, the only way I'll want to watch Game of Thrones is in IMAX! Will you be attending this event?
