CHARRRGE...IT'S OPEN SEASON IN 3D!

Sneak previews of Open Season: An IMAX 3D Experience on 7 and 8 October

29 September 2006 - It will be a wild wild adventure through the wilderness this October in the IMAX Theatre-At-Bristol with Open Season, Columbia Pictures' newest animation film in 3D!

Open Season: An IMAX 3D Experience (PG) will debut simultaneously with the 35mm release nationwide on 13 October, with special preview on 7 and 8 October in At-Bristol. At-Bristol is the only theatre to play Open Season in giant screen 3D format across the South West.

"Open Season 3D is a must watch for families or anyone looking for entertaining fun during this half-term holiday! The 3D effect offers the sensation of being not just inside the theatre, but almost inside the movie itself. Audiences will duck for cover as acorns fly overhead and feel the roller-coaster-like thrill of going over waterfalls, all on the giant screen and will literally be able to feel the sound thanks to the state-of-the-art digital surround sound." Says Simon Jones, IMAX manager.

In this animated action-adventure comedy Open Season, Boog (Martin Lawrence), a grizzly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world turned upside-down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking wild mule deer. When Elliot convinces Boog to desert his idyllic existence living in a garage decked out with all the comforts of home, and try the "wild" life, things quickly spiral out of control. With open season upon them, Elliot must help Boog get in touch with his inner grizzly to unite the woodland creatures and take the forest back!

Open Season is based on the humour of cartoonist Steve Moore ("In the Bleachers"), directed by Roger Allers of The Lion King and Jill Culton of Monsters, Inc. and Toy Story 2. The producer is Michelle Murdocca of the popular animation films Stuart Little and Stuart Little 2.

The film is backed by a strong voice cast, including UK's favourite comedian, Billy Connolly as well as Debra Messing, Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher.
