Turkey’s Mars Cinema Group is installing Sony 4K Digital Cinema technology in eight theatres across the country. A total of 69 screens will be upgraded over the next year. The first theatre to be upgraded will be Çorum AHL Park in January, followed by Vadi Istanbul and Emaar Square to be opened in March. South Korea’s CJ-CGV, acquired Mars Cinema last year, adding Turkey’s biggest cinema chain to its global network.
National Theatre Live will partner with the Royal Court and Playful Productions to broadcast Hangmen from London’s West End. The play will be captured and projected in Sony 4K digital cinema across Vue Cinemas’ chain of 84 theatres. The production marks the fourth collaboration in the year-long partnership between National Theatre Live, Vue Entertainment and Sony Digital Cinema 4K, which has already seen productions of Behind the Beautiful Forevers, The Beaux Strategem and Hamlet hit the big screen from the stage. Working closely with its production partners, Sony has taken plays from different environments, including the Olivier Theatre, The Barbican and the Wyndhams Theatre, to the cinema screen.
