Awesome Queen IMAX Concert Event Trailer QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL – Coming to theaters next month

I have the best news for all you music fans out there, IMAX has teamed up with Mercury Studios and Queen Films to bring us a new IMAX version of the classic 1983 concert film, we will Rock You. The remaster of the original concert film is now titled Regina Rock Montrealand will be brought to 450 Imax theaters worldwide this January for a special weekend for fans to enjoy.

Regina Rock Montreal was originally directed by concert director Saul the Swimmerpassed away in 2007. He also directed musical films The concert for Bangladesh also in 1972 Live help.

The synopsis of the concert film reads:

Queen Rock Montreal (aka “We Will Rock You: Queen Live in Concert”) captures a pivotal moment in the band’s history. When Queen returned for a fourth time to Montreal’s 18,000-capacity Forum in November 1981, where this concert was recorded, it was after a 15-month absence during which they became the biggest band in the world. Fueled by the release of The Game album, their hit single “Under Pressure” and extensive touring, Queen now dominated the charts in every major territory around the world. The two shows that took place in Montreal – on November 24 and 25, 1981 – were organized specifically to prepare Queen for another first: filming a feature-length concert film to adequately document their live show, highlighting the cutting-edge sound . . After spending almost 2 years on the road, the group was ready for such a challenge and reached Montreal in top form for what would become two consecutive legendary sold-out nights.

Queen guitarist Brian May said of the concert:

“I don’t think we realized it at the time, but this film preserved one of the highest peaks in Queen’s touring life, on stage in the old glory days. The director was very focused on Freddie, and that holds true now .probably the most precious intimate capture ever made by Mr. Mercury at his most powerful.”

It’s really cool! Most Queen fans around the world never had the chance to see the band perform before Freddie Mercury’s death, so this is a truly special surprise. I can’t wait to see it! Regina Rock Montreal will be shown in IMAX theaters January 18-21. For more information visit the official website and watch the trailer below:
