IMAX + Kanye West Announce Exclusive Movie

IMAX just shared news on a groundbreaking collaboration between Kanye West and IMAX® — a co-production that builds on the company’s exploration of new expressions of The IMAX Experience®.

Kanye West will release an all-new IMAX film, “JESUS IS KING,” exclusively in IMAX theatres around the world on Friday, October 25, 2019.

Filmed in the summer of 2019, “JESUS IS KING” brings Kanye West’s famed Sunday Service to life in the Roden Crater, visionary artist James Turrell’s never-before-seen installation in Arizona’s Painted Desert. This one-of-a-kind experience features songs arranged by West in the gospel tradition along with music from his new album “JESUS IS KING” — all presented in the immersive sound and stunning clarity of IMAX.

West shared a sneak peek of the film during exclusive listening parties for his new album held Friday at Detroit’s Fox Theatre and Saturday in the Auditorium Theatre of Chicago’s Roosevelt University on a custom screen by IMAX.
