Glee Live! 3D! Hits Theaters This August

Glee Live! 3D! will hit theaters nationwide on August 12
Glee Live! 3D! will hit theaters nationwide on August 12
Twentieth Century Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox Film have partnered with Glee creator Ryan Murphy to produce Glee Live! 3D!, a film of the blockbuster "Glee Live! In Concert!" North American tour. Twentieth Century Fox will release the film - for a special limited two-week engagement -- in theaters everywhere on August 12, 2011.

Glee Live! 3D! will enable fans - or, "Gleeks" -- who were unable to obtain tickets to the sold-out shows, or who live in markets not included in the tour, or who just want to see it again, to experience the concert in the immersive magic of a 3D theatrical event.

Starring 14 members of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television show's cast and shot live during the summer concerts, the movie will capture the unique concert experience along with special moments involving the characters themselves.

"This tour was all about going out and performing for our amazing fans who have supported our show from the beginning, but due to the limited time we had to travel during our hiatus, there were only so many cities we could get to before we had to resume work on the television series," commented Murphy. "We knew that not every fan who wanted to attend a concert would get that opportunity. Now, thanks to our friends at Twentieth Century Fox Film, we'll be able to bring the concert experience to movie theaters across the country in full three dimensional glory. We promise every passionate 'Gleek' a cinematic experience that will have them singing and dancing in the aisles."

Kevin Tancharoen (Fame, Mortal Kombat: Legacy series) will direct the film.

Glee Live! 3D! will include live performances of some of the show's most memorable musical numbers, including "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Raise Your Glass," "Teenage Dream," and "Lucky," as well as the original songs that became chart-toppers such as "Loser Like Me," "Hell to the No!" and "Get it Right," and of course, the show's anthem, "Don't Stop Believin'." The first "Glee" concert tour in 2010 was described by the Los Angeles Times as "triumphant," while USA Today called the concerts "equal parts musical theater, giddy pop culture phenomenon and Journey-loving rock show."

Tickets for "Glee Live! In Concert!" went on sale in February and are nearly sold out in all scheduled venues, prompting the studio to add additional shows for which limited tickets are still available. The concert series begins May 21 in Las Vegas with Glee stars Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike), Chord Overstreet (Sam), Darren Criss (Blaine), Ashley Fink (Lauren) and members of "The Warblers" performing an all-new singing and dancing celebration of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning show.

The concert tour wraps up June 18 in Uniondale, New York, before moving on to the United Kingdom. For more information, please visit Glee at GleeTour.com.

Now in its sophomore season, Glee - which airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on FOX -- is a biting musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon. This season's No. 1 scripted hour among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and Teens boasts critical acclaim, a loyal fan base of "GLEEks," two Platinum and two Gold albums, more than 29 million song downloads, the record for the most titles on the Billboard Hot 100 by a non-solo act (beating out Elvis Presley, James Brown and The Beatles), an incredible 19 Emmy nominations - earning it the distinction of being the most-nominated series of the year - and four Emmy Awards. To top it off, the genre-defying, award-winning series has been picked up through its third season. Glee is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan and Dante Di Loreto serve as executive producers.

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie was released August 12th, 2011 and stars Dianna Agron, Lea Michele, Gwyneth Paltrow, Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, Jane Lynch, Cory Monteith, Heather Morris. The film is directed by Kevin Tancharoen.

    @rufio At least most rock musicians refuse to let their music be used in the show (i.e. Foo Fighters)

    i say bring it. now we have Glee the original show, Glee iTunes and CD's, Glee the American Idol version, and now a Glee movie! bring it all. saturate the market and wear out your welcome SOONER! then it goes off the air and we all move on with life.
    i loathe everything Glee. i LOVED it at the start for its fresh-take on the Fame thing and the music. however, it completely jumped the shark as a franchise by using music as a weapon and becoming a propoganda, agenda machine. FAIL.
