Today Marks Six Months Until The Force Awakens! Are You Ready?
==============================================================

In exactly six months from today, IMAX® theatres will premiere the return of the one of the greatest film franchises ever.

More than just that, _Star Wars: Episode VII_ has been utilizing IMAX® cameras when shooting the film, so you’ll truly experience it the way it was meant to be seen!

What we know so far from the upcoming film is that it will take place about 30 years after the events in _Star Wars: Return of the Jedi_. Actors Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford will definitely be returning to play their respective roles as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, and fan-favorite characters such as R2-D2, and Chewbacca will absolutely appear in the new film. However, little is known about the plot or storyline of the movie, which provides even more reason to go to IMAX® cinemas and witness the return of the saga on the big screen!

Check back soon for more updates on the film and for other upcoming IMAX releases.
