Wanda’s upcoming “For A Few Bullets” will be the first Chinese-language movie mastered and released in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The film, a comedy Western, releases in Chinese cinemas on July 15, 2016.
Budgeted at $14 million and directed by Pan Anzi, “Bullets” stars Kenny Lin and Zhang Jingchu as a professional con man and a woman cop who embark on a quest to recover a national treasure.
Dolby Vision uses laser projection systems to deliver high dynamic range and contrast ratios. Dolby Atmos sound technology moves audio around the theater, even overhead.
"Dolby Cinema has helped us bring this overall experience to the next level. We believe moviegoers will find themselves completely captivated in the story when they watch ‘For a Few Bullets’ in Wanda’s Dolby Cinema locations,” said John Zeng, VP of Wanda Cultural Industry Group and president of Wanda Cinema Line Corporation, in a prepared statement. “Wanda is committed to leveraging our combined strength in movie production and exhibition to deliver a premium movie going experience to our patrons.”
To date more than 200 Dolby Cinema sites have been installed or committed to across the globe, with 43 titles released or announced.
