  • Galapagos 3D: Nature's Wonderland
    Wildlife Conservationist Jeff Corwin Narrates "Galapagos 3D: Nature's Wonderland" Written by David Attenborough nWave Pictures Distribution brings to IMAX 3D Theatres, Museums and Science Centers the Extraordinary and Mysterious World of the Galapagos Brussels (Belgium) and Burbank (Calif.) /PRNEWSWIRE/ March 7, 2014 – nWave Pictures Distribution is pleased to announce that wildlife conservationist and Emmy Award- winning television host and presenter Jeff Corwin will be the narrator of a new IMAX 3D theatre film “Galapagos 3D: Nature’s Wonderland”. The film takes the audience on a spectacular exploration of the Galapagos archipelago with its remarkable collection of unique plants and charismatic animals such as black marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies and giant tortoises, all filmed for the very first time in 4K 3D. “I was thrilled to provide the narration for this amazing project written by my longtime hero David Attenborough,” said Jeff Corwin. “During the film’s post-production, I had a chance to watch it in 3D at Montreal Science Center’s TELUS IMAX Cinema and it literally took my breath away… and I have to admit that despite traveling the world for twenty years hosting and producing films and documentaries, I was thoroughly impressed with this incredible giant screen achievement.” Corwin added, “When you bring nature's wonder to this medium in a powerful and compelling way, it engages and inspires the audience. ‘Galapagos 3D: Nature’s Wonderland’ perfectly captures what makes this archipelago, and its creatures, so special and so resilient to our fast-changing world.” “I am truly honored and delighted to have Jeff Corwin lend his storytelling to this fascinating film that brings to the giant screen the extraordinary world of the Galapagos in a way that has not been possible before,” said Eric Dillens, Chairman of nWave Studios.

  • Nwave and Atlantic Productions Conclude Distribution Agreement
    nWave Pictures Acquires Distribution Rights to “Galapagos 3D” for February 2014 Release to IMAX® Theaters and 3D Digital Cinemas British Icon David Attenborough Brings a ‘Living Museum’ to the Giant Screen Brussels (Belgium), London (UK) and Burbank (California), September 5, 2013 – nWave Pictures Distribution is pleased to announce the acquisition of worldwide giant screen distribution rights to “Galapagos 3D” (working title) from London-based Colossus Productions. Written and narrated by renowned naturalist and veteran filmmaker David Attenborough, produced by Anthony Geffen and directed by Martin Williams, the film is a unique exploration of these enchanted islands, whose remarkable creatures helped inform the way we understand the world. “Galapagos 3D” will be released to IMAX® theaters and Digital Giant Screen cinemas in February 2014 and will available in 38- and 20-minute versions, 3D and 2D, 15- perf./70mm film and 4K/2K digital formats. The industry premiere of “Galapagos 3D” will be September 15th in Ottawa during the Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) 2013 Conference at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. “Galapagos 3D” takes viewers to a paradise unlike any other, where life has played out in relative isolation over millions of years. The result is a biological wonderland comprising some 9,000 species with approximately 80% of the land-dwelling population being indigenous to these enchanted islands. This extraordinary wildlife has adapted to their unique environment, forging unlikely companionships and surviving against all odds. In these remote volcanic islands, giant half-ton long-necked tortoises lumber among dancing blue-footed boobies and flightless cormorants. Penguins thousands of miles away from their natural habitats share the seas with unique marine iguanas that spit sea-salt from their noses.
