IMAX Corporation and Toei Company Ltd. today announced
that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods will be digitally re-mastered into
the immersive IMAX® format and released to IMAX® Digital theatres in
Japan starting March 30 . The film marks the first-ever Japanese movie
to be released in IMAX® as well as the first movie installment in Akira
Toriyama’s iconic Dragon Ball franchise in 17 years.
Toriyama, highly influential in manga animation and
known for his playful, influential storytelling and distinctive art
style, has been involved with the development of the screenplay and the
production for this latest feature. He has delivered a completely new
original story that is focused on the period between the “Z” and “GT”
Dragon Ball animated series – or, more specifically, between
installments 517 and 518 of the Dragon Ball comic book series, filling
the 10-year story lapse after Demon Boo is defeated.
“We’re proud to be partnering with a pioneering manga
creator like Akira Toriyoma to release the latest installment of this
beloved franchise and our first Japanese film in IMAX,” said Greg Foster
, Chairman and President of IMAX Entertainment. “With its fast-paced
battle sequences and stunning visuals, we believe Dragon Ball Z: Battle
of Gods is an ideal fit for The IMAX Experience®.”
