Los Angeles, you’re cordially invited to the ceremony of the century!

Read on for more information on how you can enter for your chance to win free tickets.
Starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale, The Bride! begins its bold tale in the 1930s, where a forlorn Frankenstein (Bale) has made his way to the streets of Chicago in search of a companion. He’s sought the help of the groundbreaking Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening), a scientist capable of creating his counterpart. To do so, Frankenstein and Dr. Euphronius bring a murdered young woman back to life, reborn as The Bride (Buckley). Together, the pair set off on an unexpected journey of murder and possession as outlaw lovers. The film also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.
Don’t Miss ‘The Bride!’ in IMAX
As part of the Filmed For IMAX program, Gyllenhaal worked closely with IMAX throughout filming, beginning with pre-production, to collaborate on bringing her vision to life in a fully immersive way. Together, they conducted camera tests and regrouped at IMAX headquarters to best utilize IMAX’s Expanded Aspect Ratios to support the storytelling of The Bride!. With Gyllenhaal’s careful eye, IMAX is crafted into the writer-director’s creative language, used specifically and technically to bolster the narrative.
In total, the film features 72 minutes of IMAX’s exclusive Expanded Aspect Ratio (EAR), coming to almost half of its runtime. Each frame of the movie is enhanced with IMAX’s Digital Media Remastering (DMR) technology for innovative detail and clarity. Additionally, The Bride! also features a sound mix optimized specifically for IMAX theaters to complement the electrifying industrial rock score that you can feel, amplifying the movie’s energy.
You can’t miss out on The Bride! in IMAX for the full experience. Select theaters, with Laser locations, will be treated to certain sequences that expand to IMAX’s towering 1.43:1 aspect ratio, providing the largest image area available in the world.
