AMERICAN SNIPER, Starring Bradley Cooper, to Hit IMAX Theaters on Jan 16

From director Clint Eastwood comes AMERICAN SNIPER, starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. The film hit theaters on Christmas Day and, according to ComingSoon.net, will be expanding to Imax on January 16, 2015.

"With American Sniper, we are excited to team up for THE FIRST TIME with Academy Award-winning iconic director Clint Eastwood, as well as work with our valued and longtime partners at Warner Bros.," Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, Imax Corp. and CEO of Imax Entertainment, said in a statement. "American Sniper is a tense and engaging drama -- one that will keep you on the edge of your seat, particularly when experiencing it in Imax theatres."

President of Domestic Distribution for Warner Bros. Dan Fellman added: "Mr. Eastwood has created an incredibly intense and emotional film that deserves to be experienced in the most breathtaking way."

In AMERICAN SNIPER, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend." However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.

Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to "leave no one behind." But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind.

A two-time Oscar nominee for his work in "Silver Linings Playbook" and "American Hustle," Cooper heads the cast, which also includes Sienna Miller (HBO's "The Girl"), Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban and Keir O'Donnell. Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood ("Million Dollar Baby," "Unforgiven") is directing "American Sniper" from a screenplay written by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwan and Jim DeFelice. The autobiography was a RUNAWAY bestseller, spending 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, 13 of those at number one.

The film is being produced by Eastwood, Robert Lorenz, Andrew Lazar, Bradley Cooper and Peter Morgan. Tim Moore, Jason Hall, Sheroum Kim and Bruce Berman are serving as executive producers.
