"The groundbreaking technology of the film pairs excellently with ScreenX, extending the stunning image quality of Will Smith as a 20-year old in action onto the walls of the auditorium, adding another level of immersion and intrigue to the cinema-going experience for Gemini Man."

"With the success of Paramount Pictures' films in 4DX, we are thrilled to continue the partnership and introduce 'Gemini Man' as the first Paramount Pictures' title to be screened in the immersive ScreenX format," said Mark Viane, President of International Theatrical Distribution at Paramount Pictures.
