From Feb 2009
UNDER THE SEA 3D
Splash into IMAX as the Museum of Discovery and Science
opens Under the Sea 3D. The film follows the box office
hit Deep Sea 3D, also shot by award-winning Cinematographer/Director
Howard Hall, which has grossed more than $72 million
to date.
The filmmaking team, including Howard Hall, producer
Toni Myers, executive producer Graeme Ferguson and producer for Howard
Hall Productions Michele Hall, has captured some of the most extraordinary
marine life ever shot on film including the Stonefish – the world’s most venomous
fish – and a new species of shark yet to be described by science.
Hall and his crew also filmed South Australia’s exquisite Leafy
Sea Dragon and the endangered puppy-like Sea Lion – animals that
can be found nowhere else on Earth. Filming with the IMAX 3D camera,
the highest resolution motion picture camera ever created, will allow
the filmmakers to immerse audiences in this amazing underwater world
as never before – bringing them face-to-face with these magical
creatures. The film will also provide an extraordinary
look at the current conditions of our oceans and the impact global climate
change has had on these unique eco-systems.
“For Under the Sea 3D we’ve traveled to some of the most
exotic locations on this planet, allowing us to film many creatures for
the first time,” said Howard Hall. “Through IMAX 3D, audiences
will be immersed fully into this amazing undersea world – a world
which only a few of us lucky individuals really get
to see up close.”
“Deep Sea 3D continues to deliver a premium cinematic experience
that keeps moviegoers returning to IMAX® theatres year after year
and we are thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Howard and
Michelle Hall,” said Dan Fellman, president, domestic distribution,
Warner Bros. Pictures. “We look forward to having Howard’s
latest journey come to life on IMAX screens on February
13, 2009.”
“From South Australia to the Indo-Pacific, audiences will witness
amazing deep sea life in the grand scale and immersiveness of IMAX 3D,” said
Greg Foster, chairman and president, IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “Thanks
to our partners at Warner Bros. and the amazing talents
of our filmmakers, audiences will encounter a spectacular marine world
alive with magical creatures and also emerge with a new understanding
of how important it is to protect it.”
