In
this special theatrical cut of “Doctor Who: Rise
of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel,”
the TARDIS is trapped on a parallel Earth and Rose discovers her father is still
alive. But sinister forces are at work as John Lumic prepares British society
for the Ultimate Upgrade reawakening an old enemy. Can the Doctor and Rose save
the people from conversion or will they face deletion at the hands of the
Cybermen?
These
episodes mark the first appearance of the Cybermen in the relaunched series of
Doctor Who bringing a brand new look to the Doctor's terrifying
adversaries. Doctor Who is BBC AMERICA’s highest rated series and
celebrated its 50th Anniversary last year.
Next,
from Emmy® Award-nominated director John Downer comes the theatrical event
“Wings 3D,” a groundbreaking aerial adventure. This feature-length RealD™ 3D experience was filmed with
revolutionary aerial devices and techniques to fly right alongside birds. This
breathtaking journey will take viewers across the world's most iconic landscapes
to the heart of the greatest animal spectacles on Earth: snow geese dash through
Monument Valley and New York City, vultures ascend miles above the earth then
dive down to huge wildebeest herds below, scarlet macaws race at breakneck speed
through the rainforest. Using unique, state-of-the-art 3D cameras in barely
accessible and highly dangerous places, the audience has never before been so
close to the drama and beauty of nature until now.
Soumya Sriraman, EVP of
Licensing and Home Entertainment for BBC Worldwide North America, says “Once
again we are bringing Doctor Who to theaters to give fans a new way to
experience the Tenth Doctor – David Tennant, and we are making it extra special
with a two-night theatrical event for Tennant fans across the country. From the
finest in science fiction to the best of natural history, there will be
something for everyone to enjoy- all on the same ticket.”
“Fans of all types come out
in full force to experience the infamous Doctor Who in our cinema
events,” said Dan Diamond, senior vice president of Fathom Events. “We’re sure
that this special two-night event featuring the incomparable David Tennant will
offer them a unique opportunity they won’t want to miss.”
Just what are they thinking? Rise of the Cyberman? Why??? I love David Tennant, but why that one?
