The Transporter Refueled To Be Released In Select IMAX Theatres

IMAX Corporation and EuropaCorp announced that The Transporter Refueled, the re-imagining of the successful trilogy in the studio’s highly profitable action franchise, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX format and released into IMAX theatres domestically on Sept. 4, followed by a select international footprint in IMAX theatres.

Starring newcomer Ed Skrein, The Transporter Refueled, which will be distributed domestically by Relativity EuropaCorp Distribution (RED) — the joint marketing and distribution venture between Relativity Studios and EuropaCorp — is directed by Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions), from a script by Bill Collage and Adam Cooper. The film is based on characters developed by Robert Mark Kamen and EuropaCorp founder Luc Besson, who produced the film with Mark Gao.

“With The Transporter Refueled, we are thrilled to partner again with Luc Besson and EuropaCorp to bring this action-packed re-invigoration of this global franchise to IMAX fans worldwide,” said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. “IMAX works to provide audiences with thrilling entertainment year-round and this early September release is the perfect example of that.”

IMAX previously partnered with EuropaCorp to release last summer’s hit action film Lucy, through Universal Pictures, and will release the studio’s big screen adaption of the epic sci-fi graphic novel Valerian, starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne, which is slated for a global release summer 2017.
