Coming off a clean sweep at the 74th Golden Globes Awards, La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone is set for a limited IMAX release starting January 13th.
Director Damien Chazelle is excited for the release according to IMAX.com. “The beautiful presentation of La La Land in IMAX took my breath away. I cannot wait for audiences to see the work of all the talented crafts-people who helped bring this story to life — the music, sound, production design, costumes, performances — everything explodes in IMAX.”
So far, La La Land has grossed over $51 million domestically, and is expected to soar even higher throughout awards season.
