LOS
ANGELES, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IMAX
Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) and Crazy Boat Pictures Ltd. today
announced the wide release of "Deep Sky," an IMAX® Original
documentary about NASA's Webb Telescope (JWST), exclusively in over
300 IMAX theatres across North
America for a special 1-week limited run timed to Earth Day,
starting April 19, 2024.
Directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker
Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by
Oscar®-nominated actress Michelle Williams, "Deep Sky" follows the
remarkable story of the scientists and engineers who helped design
and launch JWST, NASA's largest science mission ever, now orbiting
the sun a million miles from Earth, helping to unravel the
mysteries of our origins and, perhaps, our future.
"Deep Sky" — conceived for exclusive presentation in IMAX
theatres — is a cinematic journey to the stars and a voyage back in
time to the birth of the universe itself. The 40-minute film
immerses audiences in the stunning pictures beamed back to earth by
NASA's newest telescope, capturing their vast beauty at a scale
that can only be experienced in the larger-than-life immersive
image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience®.
"The scale of the universe is so huge, it's really hard to
comprehend," says Kahn. "But when you blow the images up to IMAX
size, you feel like you're in space. It's the ideal way to
experience the scale and beauty of what's actually out there. You
feel connected to the big questions we explore in the film: How did
the universe begin? Where did we come from? And the biggest
question of all: are we alone?"
"I've always been fascinated by the beauty and magnitude of
space," said Michelle Williams. "I'm
excited to work with Nathaniel and IMAX to tell the story of the
captivating images taken by this new telescope."
Following the film's continued success at select IMAX Theaters
worldwide, IMAX will expand the release of "Deep Sky" to over 300
select locations across the U.S. and Canada for one week only, starting
April 19, 2024. For a list of
