The Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert presented in Disney Digital 3-D will be released on February 1 simultaneously around the world and includes South Africa where it will be shown in the country's only two new generation 3D digital cinemas - Ster-Kinekor Classic the Zone in Rosebank and Ster-Kinekor Classic Gateway Durban.
Miley Cyrus – the 14-year old singing sensation and star of Disney Channel's hit series Hannah Montana – performs as both a solo artist and as her hugely popular television character, Hannah Montana. In the hit TV show on the Disney Channel, actress Miley Cyrus (daughter of Billy Ray) leads a double-life, playing a mild-mannered eighth grader by day and famous pop sensation Hannah Montana by night.
The Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert digital 3D movie was shot during Cyrus's 54-city American tour late last year and will be screened in state-of-the-art Disney Digital 3D™.
The concert sold out within hours of going on sale last year. The Disney-produced film is directed by Bruce Hendricks (Ultimate X: The Movie) and was shot using 3D digital cameras rather than shot with regular digital cameras and rendered in the format later (as has been the case with most digital 3D movies so far). The cinematographer is Mitchell Amundsen (Transformers).
"3D is especially appropriate for concert films, because it allows the audience to feel as if they are in an actual concert arena," says Michelle Roodt, Marketing Executive Ster-Kinekor Theatres. "Watching it on a big screen in 3D is an experience unlike anything you'd get from watching a concert DVD at home, no matter how big your television screen."
The Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D is expected to be a sell-out around the world with booking open on Friday 18th January 2008. Tickets can be booked by calling TicketLine on 082 16789 (value added service rates apply; online at www.sterkinekor.com, from your wap enabled cell phone, or in cinema at the self service terminals (SSTs) and box offices.
The Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert will open at Ster-Kinekor Classic The Zone in Rosebank and Ster-Kinekor Classic Gateway in Durban on Friday 1 February 2008.
