Like it or not, you can't deny (or avoid) the phenomenal success of TV's Glee, which is created by Ryan Murphy. And that success will be ventured into big-screen treatment as Twentieth Century Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox Film partnered with Ryan Murphy to produce GLEE LIVE! 3D!, a movie of the blockbuster GLEE LIVE! IN CONCERT!" North American tour. Twentieh Century Fox will release the movie - for a special limited two-week engagement - in theaters everywhere on August 12, 2011. (Not sure whether we local viewers get our chance to watch it or not).
"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."
GLEE LIVE! 3D! is directed by Kevin Tancharoen (MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY) and the movie will include live performance 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'."
