LOS ANGELES, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX), DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures today announced that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, directed by Michael Bay and featuring scenes filmed with IMAX(R) cameras, will debut in a record 167 IMAX(R) theatres domestically in conjunction with the film's nationwide release in conventional theatres on June 24, 2009. Pre-release buzz is very strong for the film, one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. The film will also open in IMAX theatres internationally.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen: The IMAX Experience will feature select scenes filmed with IMAX cameras. Director Michael Bay has seamlessly integrated the IMAX footage with state-of-the-art CGI and visual effects to create an unprecedented look and feel for the sequel to Transformers. The movie sequences shot in traditional 35mm will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience(R) with IMAX DMR(R) (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The IMAX DMR scenes will appear in the traditional "letterbox" shape, while scenes shot with IMAX's cameras will expand vertically on the IMAX screen.

Every IMAX theatre is specially designed to put the audience IN the movie. The unique theatre geometry of an IMAX theatre combined with crystal clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and maximized field of view provides the world's most immersive movie experience.

"The extraordinary level of detail and intensity captured by the IMAX camera creates many exciting possibilities for us with this film," said Michael Bay, the film's director. "IMAX's all-encompassing format will take this story to a new level, and I am once again very excited to share The IMAX Experience with Transformers fans around the world."

"Michael Bay, DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures have created one of the most anticipated movies of the year and we're very excited to be a part of it," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "With the recent growth of our network, we have the opportunity to reach the widest day and date IMAX audience ever, which is particularly encouraging given how great this film looks and sounds in IMAX."

"We can't wait to share Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The IMAX Experience with IMAX audiences worldwide, which is more possible now thanks to the expanded IMAX network, in addition to the skilled marketing and distribution teams at Paramount."
