Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience opens November 16, 2007

Film Opens in 124 IMAX(R) Theatres Worldwide

LOS ANGELES, CA, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMAX Corporation, Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that Beowulf, the latest film from Academy Award(R) winning director Robert Zemeckis, the filmmaker behind such box office successes as Forrest Gump, The Polar Express, the Back To The Future series and What Lies Beneath, will open in 124 IMAX(R) theatres worldwide, beginning with advance shows in select IMAX theatres on the evening of November 15th. The film has also been re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience(R) through IMAX DMR(R) (Digital Re-mastering) technology.

"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," said Robert Zemeckis. "IMAX lends itself to the incredible image detail in Beowulf and in 3D, it will transport the audience directly into the story."

"You know a film works well in IMAX 3D when you see the entire audience reach out to touch the images that float off the screen, and we've already seen this reaction in IMAX 3D screenings of the film," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "We are very pleased to work with Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures to share this unique experience with IMAX audiences worldwide."

Inspired by the 9th century English epic poem, Beowulf combines a digitally enhanced live-action filmmaking technology with an all-star cast that includes Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Angelina Jolie. Neil Gaiman (MirrorMask, the graphic novel Sandman) and Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) adapted the legend for the screen.

Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience is scheduled to play at the following IMAX(R) Theatres beginning November 16th.
