UNDER THE SEA 3D TO BE NEXT ORIGINAL IMAX® 3D FILM FROM
WARNER BROS. PICTURES AND IMAX

IMAX®3D Production Underway in Papua, New Guinea, Will Explore Impact of Global Warming

Picture Follows Box Office Hit ‘Deep Sea 3D’, Which Just Crossed the $60 Million Mark

Los Angeles, CA – February 7, 2008 – Warner Bros. Pictures Inc. and IMAX Corporation (Nasdaq: IMAX; TSX: IMX) today announced that the official title of their third original IMAX® 3D co-production will be Under the Sea 3D. Production began last month in Papua, New Guinea, where the film crew is photographing some of the most extraordinary marine wildlife ever captured on film.

Slated for release in February 2009, Under the Sea 3D (previous working title, ‘Deep Sea-quel’) will offer a uniquely inspirational and entertaining way to explore the impact that global climate change has had on ocean wilderness. Moviegoers will be able to experience face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea. In IMAX 3D, the images literally leap off the screen and float around the theatre, putting the audience IN the movie.

“We’re very excited about this film,” said Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer of Warner Bros. “In addition to bringing some of the most exotic underwater creatures to light for the first time, Under the Sea 3D will also thoughtfully explore the effects of global warming on our oceans and their wildlife. We’re proud to be a part of this important production that will both fascinate and enlighten audiences.”

“We are thrilled production is underway for Under the Sea 3D, and we are delighted to expand our original IMAX 3D library with another project from the talented filmmaking team behind Deep Sea 3D,” said Dan Fellman, president, domestic distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. “Moviegoers are continuing to buy tickets to Deep Sea 3D, demonstrating the strong appeal of this subject matter when combined with the immersive nature of IMAX’s format.”

Under the Sea 3D follows the 2006 box office hit Deep Sea 3D, which has grossed more than $60 million worldwide – with more than 40 percent of the film’s total box office receipts coming from international IMAX locations. Deep Sea 3D continues to draw audiences after 100 weeks in release, demonstrating the strong legs and tremendous appeal that original IMAX 3D productions have become famous for throughout the exhibition industry.

“Deep Sea 3D continues to deliver a premium cinematic experience that keeps moviegoers returning to IMAX® theatres year after year, and we anticipate another hit with Under the Sea 3D,” said Greg Foster, Chairman and President, IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “We are amazed by what the film crew has already encountered, and we’re excited to once again work with our partners at Warner Brothers Pictures to share with audiences another original IMAX 3D adventure from one of cinema’s most esteemed filmmaking teams.”
Under the Sea 3D will be shot by award-winning Director/Cinematographer Howard Hall, produced by Toni Myers, executive produced by Graeme Ferguson, and produced for Howard Hall Productions by Michele Hall. In addition to last year’s Deep Sea 3D, Hall, Ferguson and Myers were all part of the accomplished filmmaking team behind IMAX’s first underwater 3D adventure, Into The Deep, which has grossed more than $70 million since its 1991 release.

“The dazzling colors and amazing animals we’ll see filming from South Australia to the Indo-Pacific are made for the grand scale and intensity of IMAX 3D,” said Toni Myers, the film’s producer, editor and writer. “But these spectacular yet delicate ecosystems are threatened by climate change. It’s vitally important to promote awareness of that, especially among the young people who will be the stewards of our planet’s health and well-being.”
