Metallica will debut their 3D film, “Through the Never,” in IMAX theatres across North America for a one-week engagement starting Friday, September 27.
The film will then expand into additional theatres on October 4.
Starring Metallica, a cast of thousands of their fans and breakout star Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2), “Metallica Through the Never” is written and directed by Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll).
The film tells the story of a band crew member (played by DeHaan) who is sent out on a mission during Metallica's live set in front of a sold-out arena. While on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life turned completely upside down.
"IMAX! It doesn't get bigger or cooler than that!" said drummer Lars Ulrich. "For four guys in a rock band of average height, to get a chance to unleash their 3D film on IMAX screens the size of buildings across the country is a mind-blowing thought. 'Hey look, Mom, I'm 50 feet tall (finally!)' There is no better way to experience film and when you throw in the spectacle of music and sound this should amount to an unprecedented, unique and truly next level experience."
Last month, DeHaan told Collider.com, “It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before; it’s almost like a concert movie meets [Pink Floyd's] The Wall meets Metallica.”
