SANCTUM Special Advance Screening

CONTEST IS OVER! YOU'VE BEEN E-MAILED IF YOU WERE A WINNER!

>ERS, Ink. is co-hosting a special advance screening of SANCTUM in 3-D in Dallas, TX on Tuesday, February 1st at 7:30PM. If you want passes good for two just e-mail me at ersink@ymail.com and tell me who developed the 3-D photography technique they used to film SANCTUM. The first 25 people to hit me up win passes. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

Cast: Richard Roxburgh, Rhys Wakefield, Ioan Gruffudd, Alice Parkinson, Dan Wyllie

Directed by: Alister Grierson

Written by: John Garvin & Andrew Wight

Produced by: Andrew Wight

Executive Producers: James Cameron, Ben Browning, Michael Maher, Peter Rawlinson, Ryan Kavanaugh

The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum, from executive producer James Cameron, follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea.

Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific’s Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank’s team—including 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd)—are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

Shot on location off the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, Sanctum employs 3-D photography techniques Cameron developed to lens Avatar. Designed to operate in extreme environments, the technology used to shoot the action-thriller will bring audiences on a breathless journey across plunging cliffs and into the furthest reaches of our subterranean world.

Visit the official website at www.sanctummovie.com.

SANCTUM is rated R (Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian) for language, some violence and disturbing images.

OPENS FEBRUARY 4.
