SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE:IMAX; TSX:IMX), Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures announced that American Sniper, the newest film from legendary director Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® format and released into domestic IMAX® theatres on Jan.16, 2015 — the same day Warner Bros. expands the film nationwide from its limited release.

"With American Sniper, we are excited to team up for the first time with Academy Award®-winning iconic director Clint Eastwood, as well as work with our valued and longtime partners at Warner Bros.," said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. "American Sniper is a tense and engaging drama — one that will keep you on the edge of your seat, particularly when experiencing it in IMAX theatres."

"Mr. Eastwood has created an incredibly intense and emotional film that deserves to be experienced in the most breathtaking way," said Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

The IMAX® release of American Sniper will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

About American Sniper:
From director Clint Eastwood comes American Sniper, starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, whose skills as a sniper made him a hero on the battlefield.  But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.  Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms.  His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend."  However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents.  He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to "leave no one behind."  But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind. 

Eastwood directed American Sniper from a screenplay written by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice.  The film is produced by Eastwood, Robert Lorenz, Andrew Lazar, Bradley Cooper and Peter Morgan.  Tim Moore, Jason Hall, Sheroum Kim, Steve Mnuchin and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents in Association with Village Roadshow Pictures, A Mad Chance Production, A 22nd & Indiana Production, American Sniper. The film is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.  American Sniper has been rated R for strong and disturbing war violence and language throughout, including some sexual references. americansnipermovie.com
