Hollywood's legendary El Capitan Theatre presents a special engagement of Disney's "Tomorrowland," from May 22 - June 17, 2015. Internationally acclaimed magician Greg Wilson will present an all-new magic show, "The Magic of Imagination," before every screening of the movie. Plus, El Capitan guests will have the chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the filmmakers created the world of Tomorrowland, including costumes, props and concept drawings. In addition, El Capitan guests have the opportunity to be among the first to see the film at a special advance screening on May 21 at 7 p.m.

"Tomorrowland" is the first movie being projected in Dolby Vision! Dolby Vision delivers a dramatically different visual experience-astonishing brightness, incomparable contrast, and captivating color-that brings movies to life before your eyes. Dolby Atmos transports you into the movie with breathtaking, multidimensional sound that fills the theatre and flows all around you.

"The El Capitan Theatre is truly 'Tomorrowland' headquarters," said James Wood, operations and stage productions for The El Capitan Theatre. "Only at the El Capitan, will guests be treated to an exclusive display from Walt Disney Imagineering, showcasing the Disneyland attractions featured in the movie. "

Daily showtimes are 9:45 a.m., 12:55 p.m., 4:10 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and a 10:50 p.m. screening on opening weekend and Friday and Saturdays. Tickets are on sale now, and available at the El Capitan Theatre (6838 Hollywood Blvd.), online at www.elcapitantickets.com, or by calling 1-800-DISNEY6. Special group rates for parties of 20 or more are available by calling 1-818-845-3110. Show times are subject to change.

The El Capitan Theatre will also host a very special Tiny Tot Tuesday every Tuesday during the run of "Tomorrowland" at 9:45 a.m. During these special screenings, parents and small children may enjoy the movie in a tot-friendly way-with lights dimmed rather than out and reduced sound levels.

From Disney comes two-time Oscar winner Brad Bird's "Tomorrowland," a riveting mystery adventure starring Academy Award winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as "Tomorrowland." What they must do there changes the world-and them-forever.

Featuring a screenplay by "Lost" writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, "Tomorrowland" promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of. The film also stars Hugh Laurie as brilliant scientist David Nix, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson.

"Tomorrowland" is produced by Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird and Jeffrey Chernov and directed by Brad Bird, with John Walker, Bernard Bellew, Jeff Jensen and Brigham Taylor serving as executive producers. "Tomorrowland" opens in U.S. theaters on May 22, 2015.
