thank you.


J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Barco Boldly Go Into the Future of Cinema
with “Star Trek Beyond” Release in Barco Escape
Digital Cinema Powerhouse Brings Multi-Screen,
Panoramic Experience To Theaters This Summer

LOS ANGELES — April 11, 2016 — Digital cinema leader Barco and Bad Robot Productions today announced “Star Trek Beyond,” one of this year’s most anticipated films, will be released in Barco’s multi-screen theatrical format Barco Escape, bringing audiences inside the action from the interstellar franchise – like never before. J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot will master a special version of the film, expanding the storytelling across three screens to unveil a thrilling new movie going experience to audiences when the film, from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions, releases on July 22.

“Star Trek Beyond,” the third installment of the phenomenally successful reboot, is directed by Justin Lin, and stars Idris Elba, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin and Karl Urban. The most recent film, “Star Trek Into Darkness,” grossed more than $467 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing entry in the Star Trek franchise.

“Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond is an epic adventure — truly larger than life,” said producer and Bad Robot president J.J. Abrams. “It is especially fitting, then, that we are partnering with Barco to provide an ultra wide-screen immersive experience using their unique Barco Escape format. This premium format dramatically expands the width of the viewing plane, giving filmmakers an innovative new tool with which to tell stories and audiences an enhanced new way to experience cinema.”

barco-largeBarco Escape will illuminate the Star Trek universe by creating key “moments” across all three screens that will exhilarate fans. Bad Robot will re-master more than 20 minutes of “Star Trek Beyond” into the new format. As part of Bad Robot’s commitment to the innovative technology, an executive from the company will also join Barco Escape’s advisory board.

“J.J. Abrams and the Star Trek franchise share in our passion for exploration and innovation, which is why we’re thrilled to lead Barco Escape’s 2016 lineup together with ‘Beyond,’” said CEO of Barco Escape, Todd Hoddick. “We are honored to have J.J. and the incredibly talented team at Bad Robot Productions as partners and look forward to sharing the power of this experience to capture the magnitude of big, bold stories like ‘Star Trek Beyond.’”

Since debuting in fall 2014 with the hit movie “The Maze Runner,” Barco has been working hand-in-hand with today’s top studios and filmmakers to create projects that offer audiences an unmatched viewing experience – only available in theaters. Director Scott Waugh (“Act of Valor,” “Need for Speed”) recently announced he is directing the first feature shot entirely for Barco Escape. The film, titled “6 Below” and starring Josh Hartnett, will be released later this year.

Barco Escape also holds a multi-year deal with 20th Century Fox and a development deal with Jerry Bruckheimer, who is also an advisory board member. Barco is committed this year to offering at least four films in Barco Escape, which has proven to bring audiences out to the cinema with its first two theatrical releases.

The fully DCI-compliant Barco Escape technology utilizes three cinema projectors and two additional cinemascope screens, allowing filmmakers to create for a much larger canvas. With current exhibitor partners in the United States, Europe, Mexico and China, Barco plans to expand to more than 100 Barco Escape theaters in 2016.

This really needed it's own thread??

[BozQ]

So it's not the whole movie? Just 20 minutes worth?

yes..

Some theatres like the Palladio will NOT be charging extra for it. Its not like 3d or DBox. You will have to check with the other theatres about the pricing.

Sounds like it's just 20 minutes worth of CGI with no real actual photography involved.

Just my guess.

I think you will see a bigger view of the ship in action that you can use 3 screens and not just one screen.
That is my impression of it.

I suppose so.
Marketing has been terrible too. I am aware of the format's existence. But I've seen no promotional material other than this thread.

[ArmyOfDarknessAW]

I don't think this really needed a thread. However I would be interested if I had a theater even kinda sorta close to me. The east coast really never gets stuff like this. At least we have Disney World, NYC, and Niagara Falls haha.

I beleive it took a while before IMax took off and was everywhere. This is still beginning of Barco Escape. Give it a few year and should be there.

Jacob

[imsounoriginal]

My area is usually very good about getting stuff like this but weirdly it's nowhere even remotely near me. Oh well, I already got my ticket for the IMAX 3D trilogy marathon so I don't really care.

[Dreamliner330]

Interesting.

Anyone see anything in this format yet? Thoughts?

I see there's a theater about 100 miles from me, I might check it out...

I saw maze runner 2 last year. It's certainly an interesting idea. I think Star Trek could have a bigger appeal to the fans.

Jacob

[BozQ]

I think it's okay to have a separate thread for this.
Question is, what else can we discuss about it? :/

[1blufan]

Cool, I'll check it out. My regular go to theater is on the list.

[Thomas Guycott]

So it's just a crappy version of Cinerama?

Three flat screens with obvious borders breaking up the image versus a single gigantic curved screen with a genuine attempt toward seamlessness? Aside from the advantage of digital projection this looks like a step backwards.

I think it could be the imax type of thing. i just wanted to let people know about it. if you are not interested.. I hope that you are better then trolling the thread.

Jacob

[rubystone356]

I dont think this new star trek film has been promoted that well in just the title alone much less barco escape.

Jacob

[Thomas Guycott]

I'm not being rude; just overwhelmingly unimpressed with something touted as a Next Big Thing being an unremarkable, inferior Cinerama knockoff.
