RealD 3D Rises To New Heights With Awesome Tree-Top Screening Of ‘Epic’

Recently, LIFE OF PI not only screened at ZSL London Zoo (read our report from that amazing event) but also in Paris, as people sat in lifeboats to watch the grand tale of Pi and Richard Parker the Bengal Tiger but now Paris has put on something extraordinary again.

20th Century Fox France, RealD and Garnier hosted a unique outdoor screening of the highly anticipated movie EPIC in RealD 3D. To mark the movie’s release, guests were seated on a specially designed mesh platform amidst the tree-tops in a forest near Paris, immersing them in the natural world in which the film is set. Check out the astonishing images here:

Robert Mayson, Managing Director of RealD Europe, had this to say about the even and the technology:

“RealD 3D draws moviegoers into a film for a more immersive and realistic entertainment experience. Hosting this screening in such a unique tree-top setting was a distinctive way to demonstrate the power of immersive entertainment compliments of RealD 3D.”

Jane Carter, Marketing Director of 20th Century Fox France added:

“What better way to engross film-lovers in the fantastical world of EPIC than by physically placing them in the treetops?  Just as Mary Kate is transported into a hidden world, our audience was transported, under the cover of darkness, into the treetops and world of 3D storytelling.”

If you’re lucky enough to be near the Treetop Theatre this May 18th, then you may be in luck as they’re due to host another exclusive consumer screening of EPIC.

EPIC is released in the UK on May 22nd and you can find all our coverage so far, by clicking here. There’s also a little video of the event, just to tease us all a little more:
