Who remembers the first time you saw Titanic? Wasn't it an amazing true love and survival story? Well. this time it is returning to movie theaters across the nation on its 100th year anniversary - since the real Titanic sunk after colliding with a gigantic iceberg on April 15 of 1912. James Cameron and his team have converted this great film into 3D for audiences to watch it in an even deeper way... For those of you who dislike the 3D glasses or the three-dollar upcharge, you can still watch it on regular 2D.
Make sure to check out the 3D version or the regular and get your tickets to catch it this Friday, April 6 2012 at your local Digiplex. Get your tickets here!
Titanic is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic, the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era -- the ship of dreams -- which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.
If you are a movie buff and you go to the movies at least twice a month? You must have noticed that several movie theaters are incorporating alternative content events to their regular Hollywood movie showtimes. Movie theaters that have been converted into digital now have the advantage of playing live broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera, Ballet in Cinema, TheNational Theatre Live, and so much more. Therefore, they are attracting different types of audiences that perhaps, are too far away from watching the performance live at the venue or just cannot afford the tickets and would rather pay an average of $12 to $25 to watch it at their local theater.
Many performing arts organizations are broadcasting their productions to movie theaters around the globe and making good profit by selling tickets, subscriptions and selling CDs or DVDs of the performances, etc. By doing this, movie theaters are also increasing their week-day ticket sales, since most of the live performances (except for the Live Met) and encores happen during the week.
'Manon' Encore playing on 4/25/12
The advantages of watching these shows on the big screen rather than Live at the actual venue? Well, First of all, this is a great alternative for people who have a hard time with the logistics of planning to go to the live performance- could be schedules, commuting, etc. Second of all, for those who cannot simply afford the tickets and finally for those who want to watch a Live event that is happening in a different city or country around the world. This is a great solution.
Thanks to digital cinema conversion, our Digiplex Cranford and Rialto theaters in Cranford and Westfield respectively are playing one or more alternative content events each week. By doing this, patrons are leaving their couches to go and grab a bite to eat at their local restaurant (increasing sales for local businesses) and heading to the theater to watch a live performance of their preference. Imagine going to watch The Met: Live in HD encore presentation of ‘Manon’ with a loved one after a nice and quiet dinner. You can grab a cup of coffee or tea and some sweets at the concession stand and watch the performance…while wearing your jeans and comfy shoes.

Bruce Lee was born in the Year of the Dragon, his stage name was “Little Dragon”, and his most famous film was “Enter the Dragon”, so it’s only appropriate that his return to the big screen debuts as Chinese New Year begins - 2012 is The Year of the Dragon.
I Am Bruce Lee tells the amazing story of one of the most iconic human beings ever to enter the public consciousness. Voted as one of the most important people of the 20th century in Time Magazine’s Time 100, as well as one of the Greatest Pop Culture Icons by People Magazine, Bruce Lee continues to be honored and remembered for his enduring legacy.
The documentary is produced by award-winning studio Network Entertainment, the producers of 2010’s Academy Award shortlisted documentary Facing Ali, and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Pete McCormack.
I Am Bruce Lee is the first documentary to truly tell Bruce Lee’s story in his own words and actions, as well as through the eyes of a diverse cast of international stars from the worlds of film, television, music and sports.
The film’s original interviews feature a broad spectrum of worldwide stars, including UFC President Dana White who calls Lee the “Father of Mixed Martial Arts,” NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, boxing champions Manny Pacquiao and Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, UFC stars Jon Jones, Cung Le, Stephan Bonnar and Gina Carano, actor and star of the hit show ‘Modern Family’ Ed O’Neill, Academy Award Nominated actor Mickey Rourke, the Black Eye Peas’ Taboo, Bruce Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee and his wife Linda Lee Cadwell, among many others.
I Am Bruce Lee presents a rich cinematic view of the life of Bruce Lee, and features the best of Bruce Lee’s groundbreaking martial arts action films, punctuated with an evocative score and rarely seen archival footage. Working with Bruce’s daughter Shannon Lee, the film features previously unseen home movies and interviews, classic photos and dynamic visuals and graphics. “My family and I are so proud of this film, which truly portrays the legacy of my father and his incredible story,” says executive producer Shannon Lee.
“Our goal was to bring Bruce Lee and his dynamic personality to life in a way never experienced before, and we were able to achieve this with amazing content and our dynamic cast. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will walk out of the theater inspired by the spirit of the remarkable Bruce Lee,” commented producer Derik Murray.
To support the screening events, there will be a robust on-line campaign with multiple opportunities to connect via Facebook, Twitter and other online platforms.
The documentary is being distributed for the screening events by D&E Entertainment, a company specializing in alternative theatrical programming.*Cities and theaters listed below.
