Disney|ABC Television Group today announced an innovative agreement to exclusively premiere the new Marvel's Inhumans TV series in IMAX commercial theatres coming Autumn 2017.
Apparently the series (8 episodes?) will explore the lives of Blackbolt and his Royal family and while thats an interesting concept, I'm not so much of an Inhumans fan and thus the expectation is still middling. Of course it does mean there will be no real 'Inhumans movie' and as the Movie and TV lines are increasingly being seperate it may isolate Blackbolt and co from the Cinema screen.
What does interest me though is the whole concept of Imax TV and the cross platform approach to storytelling which is being extended here via an Imax pilot to a TV series. Marvel has already given us a multiplatform shared universe where Big Movies,Youtube clips and TV blend to give an overall narrative and Imax investment in Disneys multi-platform production, distribution and marketing empire is perhaps a natural step. I for one look forward toseeing how this ans out and how it might evolve across the storytelling industry
SO what do you guys think of the announcement?
