“Underworld is one of Screen Gems’ most important franchises, so it’s important to us to present the movie as its fans want to see it: on the IMAX screen,” said Rory Bruer, president of Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing.
The IMAX release of “Underworld Awakening” will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX 3D Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
Directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, the film is produced by Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Len Wiseman, and Richard Wright. Len Wiseman wrote the initial story for “Underworld Awakening” which is based on characters created by Kevin Grevioux and Wiseman. The screenplay was written by John Hlavin, J. Michael Straczyinski, Allison Burnett and Wiseman.
