Live-Action Moana IMAX and Premium Format Screenings Confirmed, Posters Released
The premium-format rollout signals Disney is treating the live-action Moana as a theatrical event on par with the original animated film, not a direct-to-streaming release.
Reporting from 1 sources: Cinema Today.
The live-action Moana film, releasing July 31, will screen in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and ScreenX. Four posters for each format were released. Catherine Laga'aia plays Moana, Dwayne Johnson reprises Maui. TSUZUMI (ME:I) provides the Japanese voice for Moana, and Matsuya Onoe voices Maui in Japanese.
The live-action Moana will be available in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and ScreenX when it opens July 31. Four posters, one for each format, were released alongside the announcement. Catherine Laga'aia stars as Moana, with Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui. In Japan, TSUZUMI (ME:I) voices Moana and Matsuya Onoe voices Maui. The 4DX presentation uses seat movement, wind, and mist to recreate the sensation of sailing. ScreenX projects the ocean and sky across three walls for a 270-degree view. Dolby Cinema reproduces the sound of waves, wind, and character breathing. IMAX emphasizes the scale of the adventure through its larger screen and audio system.
