    Star Movies showcases Disney’s Tomorrowland

    MUMBAI: Star Movies has always brought its audiences the biggest and best international blockbusters. Films have always had the power to teleport audiences in a world other than their own and this June, audiences will get to experience a world imagined by none other than Walt Disney himself.

    On June 26th, the channel will take you on an inter-dimensional travel through Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland. The film is a firm exemplification of the faith that humanity placed in the future. It brings to life Walt Disney’s idea of what he envisaged the future of this world to be.

    Tomorrowland is a leap of faith in film-making that brilliantly captures the utopic nature of a parallel world. It begins with the tale of a delinquent teenager with a thirst for scientific knowledge and a former boy-genius inventor. Both set out on a journey to uncover the secrets of a parallel universe that exists through inter-dimensional travel.

    Tomorrowland is a futuristic world that is exclusive to its genius citizens. You can either enter by invitation or through the elusive pins. Everyone there is equal, prosperous and happy. It is full of robots, jetpacks, space rockets, holograms and even giant, humanoid 3D printers that construct large pieces of infrastructure in seconds. Brad Bird’s characteristic playful style is apparent and the wild pace of the action is reminiscent of his animated blockbuster, The Incredibles.

    Tomorrowland is a Disney film with an incredible world filled with wonders and phenomena yet to be imagined. The concept is so fascinating that Tomorrowland is an actual attraction in Disneyland across several locations in the world.

    Disney’s Tomorrowland stars George Clooney and Hugh Laurie and is sure to captivate its audiences with its television premiere, on 26th June at 1 pm and 9 pm only on Star Movies.

  • Dolby Vision to debut on Disney’s ‘Tomorrowland’ and ‘Inside Out’

    Dolby Vision to debut on Disney’s ‘Tomorrowland’ and ‘Inside Out’

    MUMBAI: Disney’s Tomorrowland, which releases in theatres on 22 May, 2015, and Disney Pixar’s Inside Out, which releases on 19 June, 2015, will be the first Dolby Vision titles to be shown at Dolby Cinema locations around the globe.

     

    In addition, Disney’s The Jungle Book, due on 15 April, 2016, will also be presented in Dolby Vision, with more titles to be announced.

     

    Dolby Cinema, featuring Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, is a premium cinema offering for exhibitors and moviegoers that combines spectacular image and sound technologies with inspired design to make every visit a completely captivating cinematic event.

     

    “Dolby is thrilled to collaborate with Disney and Pixar to push the cinematic boundaries through the powerful combination of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dolby Cinema delivers an unforgettable cinema experience that transports moviegoers into the heart of the action,” said Dolby Laboratories president and CEO Kevin Yeaman.

     

    Dolby Cinema begins with the filmmaker’s vision—using the full storytelling capabilities that Dolby offers in image and sound production to transform the way movies are made. Combined with state-of-the-art image, sound, and acoustic capabilities, the movie comes alive to deliver cinema in its purest form.

     

    “The Dolby Cinema experience is a very exciting prospect for both filmmakers and film fans. Dolby has been so vital to the advancement of cinema sound, it makes complete sense for them to turn their attention to enhancing and improving the quality of motion picture images as well. Our team was delighted to collaborate with Dolby, and we are proud thatTomorrowland is the first film to be presented in their stellar new Dolby Vision process. The brightness and clarity of the images, yet with richness and detail in the blacks—WOW. The picture quality, especially in 4K laser projection, is nothing short of stunning,” said Tomorrowland director Brad Bird.

     

    Dolby Cinema features the Dolby Vision projection system, which uses state-of-the-art optics and image processing, to deliver high dynamic range with enhanced color technology and a contrast ratio that far exceeds that of any other image technology on the market today. The result is a richer, more detailed viewing experience that delivers strikingly vivid and realistic images that make viewers feel like they are in the movie’s world. Dolby Cinema also includes the award-winning Dolby sound technology, Dolby Atmos, which moves audio around the theatre, even overhead, with amazing richness and depth. Dolby Atmos debuted in 2012 on Disney Pixar’s Brave.

     

    “Our studio and our filmmakers put so much into creating high-quality, immersive experiences for audiences, and that includes using the latest, cutting-edge technology to enhance the stories we tell. Disney has been a longtime collaborator of Dolby, and we’re excited for the continued storytelling possibilities that technologies like Dolby Cinema deliver,” said The Walt Disney Studios EVP – theatrical distribution Dave Hollis.
