'Brave' christens Dolby Theater
The newly re-named Dolby Theater, home of the Academy Awards, will mark its grand opening by screening the world premiere of Disney-Pixar's "Brave" on June 18.
The screening at the 3,400-seat theater, part of the Los Angeles Film Festival, will come four days before the film opens nationwide June 22.
“The world premiere of Disney-Pixar’s ‘Brave,’ in conjunction with the LA Film Festival, is perfect for kicking off the next era for Dolby,” said Dolby Laboratories exec veep of sales and marketing Ramzi Haidamus. “We are committed to creating the best entertainment experiences, and now with the grand opening of the Dolby Theatre, we are honored to host the best as well. This is the first of many exclusive and exciting events — from movie premieres to awards ceremonies — in which Dolby and our technologies will play a featured role.”
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
