Game of Thrones to be shown in Imax theatres in the US

New York

THE dragons, dire wolves, White Walkers and power-hungry political factions in HBO's fantasy epic Game of Thrones will invade movie theatres later this month - on the big, big screen. An exclusive trailer for the coming season along with the final two episodes of the previous season will be shown in 150 Imax theatres in the US.

The critically acclaimed drama about rival dynasties in a medieval-like world will be the first television series ever to appear on Imax screens. Tickets for the engagement, which will run for one week from Jan 23-29, went on sale on Tuesday.
