Growth of IMAX Network Enables More Audiences in More Locations to Experience it in IMAX

IMAX Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox today announced that The Day The Earth Stood Still, directed by Scott Dickerson and starring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates, John Cleese and Jaden Smith, will open domestically on December 12, 2008 in 123 IMAX® theatres, including 38 new locations equipped with IMAX’s digital projection system, in conjunction with the film’s nationwide release.

The film will also open in 26 IMAX theatres internationally, including six new locations equipped with IMAX’s digital projection system, during the days and weeks following the domestic launch. The Day The Earth Stood Still has been digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with IMAX DMR® technology.

In The Day The Earth Stood Still, a contemporary reinvention of the 1951 science fiction classic, renowned scientist Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) finds herself face to face with an alien called Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), who travels across the universe to warn of an impending global crisis. When forces beyond Helen’s control treat the extraterrestrial as a hostile and deny his request to address the world’s leaders, she and her estranged stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith) quickly discover the deadly ramifications of Klaatu’s claim that he is “a friend to the Earth.” Now Helen must find a way to convince the entity who was sent to destroy us that mankind is worth saving – but it may be too late. The process has begun.

A complete list of IMAX theaters opening the film can be found after the jump.
