CRRR-UNCH TIME - THE ANT BULLY INVADES IMAX!
The Ant Bully: An IMAX 3D Experience Debuts in At-Bristol on 4 August
29 June 2006 - Opt for a uniquely entertaining cinematic experience this
summer - enter the world of The Ant Bully in IMAX 3D and shrink yourself
right down in size! Opening on 4 August, the IMAX Theatre-At-Bristol is
the only venue in the South West, where you can see this witty and
heart-warming adventure in amazing 3D.
The IMAX movie is about a 10-year-old boy, tormented by a neighbourhood
bully, who takes his frustrations out on an innocent ant-hill in his
yard... until the day the ants fight back! Through a magic potion they
shrink him down to their size and make him live like an ant in the colony
to learn their ways - a remarkable journey into a strange new world that
teaches him about friendship and teamwork and gives him the courage to
stand up for himself.
"IMAX has the power to engage audiences in a unique way, which works
perfectly for a story like this, where you want to leave the real world
behind and follow this 10-year-old kid underground into the ant colony or
through the wilds of his own front lawn," says John A. Davis
writer/director of The Ant Bully. "Part of his adventure is seeing things
he's never seen before and seeing familiar things from a whole new
perspective, and we'd love for audiences to take that amazing journey with
him."
Based on a storybook by John Nickle, the movie is written and directed by
Academy Award nominated filmmaker John A. Davis (Jimmy Neutron: Boy
Genius). The Ant Bully is produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman of The
Polar Express, with voice-overs by Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl
Streep, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell and Lily Tomlin.
"The Ant Bully is going to be the family film of the summer holidays and
watching it in IMAX is really the ultimate way to enjoy the film. As well
as the giant screen and fantastic sound system the IMAX version of the
film will be in 3D, just as it was with The Polar Express! This will
really make it a unique cinematic experience and we are anticipating it
will be amazingly popular in 3D." says Simon Jones, Head of Marketing,
At-Bristol.
The Ant Bully debuts concurrently with the nationwide 35mm release from
Warner Bros. Pictures and select IMAX theatres in UK.
This picture marks Playtone's third IMAX film project (Magnificent
Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D; The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D
Experience), and Warner Bros. Pictures' tenth film commitment to IMAX.
The movie is digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound
quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR™ (digital
re-mastering) technology.
Tickets cost £8 for adults and £6.50 for children and the movie is PG
certified. For bookings and film schedule please call 0845 345 1235.
