HUBBLE 3D
BRING THE UNIVERSE TO YOUR STUDENTS’ FINGERTIPS!
Treat your students to the ultimate field trip! Through the power of IMAX® 3D, your class can journey through distant galaxies to explore the mysteries of our celestial surroundings, accompany spacewalking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult tasks in NASA history, and experience never before seen 3D flights through Hubble imagery.
Visit www.imax.com/hubble to download classroom activities inspired by the film to further extend the learning experience into the classroom. Curriculum tie ins include science and technology, communication, critical thinking, and more!
Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, Hubble 3D reunites the Space Station 3D filmmaking team, led by producer/director Toni Myers. James Neihouse, director of photography, also doubles as the astronaut crew trainer. Judy Carroll is associate producer. Graeme Ferguson, cofounder of IMAX and pioneer producer of many IMAX space films, is executive producer. Hubble 3D is an IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Exclusive IMAX engagements of Hubble 3D are taking place in March/April 2010. The film will have a wider release in August 2010.
