Summit Entertainment to Distribute The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to IMAX


“Twi­light movie­go­ers will have a whole new way to expe­ri­ence this next install­ment of the series, with the enhanced image and sound qual­ity of The IMAX Expe­ri­ence putting them IN the movie,” said Richie Fay, Sum­mit Entertainment’s Pres­i­dent of Domes­tic The­atri­cal Dis­tri­b­u­tion. “The IMAX release puts us on the event film cal­en­dar for 2010, and we’re very excited to work with IMAX to bring a new kind of film to the IMAX the­atre network.”

“Our 2010 film slate con­tin­ues to fill out with strong titles, and a film from this incred­i­ble fran­chise is a very wel­come addi­tion,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gel­fond. “This title fills a valu­able spot in our 2010 sum­mer release win­dow, and will no doubt thrill IMAX audiences.”

“We’re very excited to work with our new part­ners at Sum­mit Enter­tain­ment to trans­port the very loyal and enthu­si­as­tic Twi­light fans into the world of the Vol­turi via The IMAX Expe­ri­ence,” added Greg Fos­ter, Chair­man and Pres­i­dent of IMAX Filmed Enter­tain­ment. “With our grow­ing the­atre net­work, we’re poised to take advan­tage of the rapidly grow­ing fan-base devoted to this dynamic, cut­ting edge series.”

In The Twi­light Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds her­self sur­rounded by dan­ger as Seat­tle is rav­aged by a string of mys­te­ri­ous killings and a mali­cious vam­pire con­tin­ues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friend­ship with Jacob — know­ing that her deci­sion has the poten­tial to ignite the age­less strug­gle between vam­pire and were­wolf. With her grad­u­a­tion quickly approach­ing, Bella is con­fronted with the most impor­tant deci­sion of her life.
