@MicrosoftSA @Uber_RSA Created Unique Travel and Win Opportunity #WhoWillWin

Hi Guys, 

Microsoft Lumia and Uber broke a unique partnership to celebrate the release of new blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. The cinema event of the year sees two of the greatest comic book heroes, namely Superman and Batman, going toe to toe in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Microsoft South Africa has partnered with Uber and Warner Bros. Pictures to provide fans with a cinematic experience to match the phenomenal stature of this titanic clash. 

“Fifty lucky people in both Cape Town and Johannesburg got to attend the preview of this 3D blockbuster on Wednesday 23 March with a friend,” says Michelle Wyne, Microsoft Marketing Manager for Mobile Devices. “Like Bruce Wayne, they will get the red carpet treatment, kicking off with ride in style in an UberBLACK.”

This chauffeured ride took them straight to the preview venue, where they were able to step into the shoes of Clark Kent by chronicling some of their favourite moments in the photo booth for possible inclusion in the social pages of the Daily Planet. Attendees also won some instant prizes in the Microsoft Lumia zone and set the stage for the evening’s main event by challenging their friends at the Xbox Station.

Pick your path to greatness: Gotham City or Metropolis

People entered the same by opening the Uber app and entering the code LumiaBATMAN or LumiaSUPERMAN in the Promotions tab. Once done and when they Re-opened the app after 30 minutes you will see a fourth tab as your unique Super Hero view pops up. 

“We are so excited to join forces with Microsoft Lumia and Warner Bros. Pictures to give riders the chance to attend the exclusive preview of the epic show down of Batman v Superman. Thank you to our partners for this opportunity, we are always looking for new ways to enhance the Uber experience”, says Alon Lits, General Manager Sub-Saharan Africa Uber.

This sweepstakes promotion was open to both new and existing Uber users who took a ride in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The 50 winners in each city were selected at random.

“Warner Bros. Pictures is delighted to partner with both Microsoft Lumia and Uber on the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice release. Our partners have come up with an innovative and very trendy campaign which suits the film perfectly, and consumers will love every interaction from catching a personalised Batman or Superman Uber ride to the activation to seeing the film before it releases nationwide,” says Sue Dickinson, Marketing Manager: Warner Bros Pictures South Africa.

From director Zack Snyder (“Man of Steel”) comes “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” starring Oscar winner Ben Affleck (“Argo”) as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”) as Superman/Clark Kent in the characters’ first big-screen pairing. Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is being releases by Times Media Films and released on cinemas nationwide on 24 March 2016.

Ant-Man : Sometimes, big heroes start small @SterKinekor #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

The release of Marvel’s latest comic book super-hero, Ant-Man, brings one of the founding members of The Avengers to the big screen for the very first time. The film, just released in the USA, shot to the number one spot at the box office, and grossed US $57.23 million in its opening weekend! Now it’s the turn of super-hero fans across South Africa. Being treated to one of this year’s most anticipated Marvel films - before its official release locally – and being able to watch it in 3D on the big screen, in the luxurious comfort of Cine Prestige or in the immersive IMAX® theatre, is a guaranteed five-star night out for any movie fan. Ster-Kinekor is giving you the opportunity to experience Marvel’s Ant-Man first - for one night – on Thursday, 30 July at 8pm.

The film releases nationally in 3D and 2D at Ster-Kinekor cinemas countrywide – including Cine Prestige and IMAX theatres – on Friday, 31 July, and bookings are now open.

From Marvel Studios and director Peyton Reed comes Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (aka Ant-Man) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr Hank Pym, to protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Having been forced out of his own company by former protégé Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), Dr Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits the talents of Lang (Paul Rudd), a conman just released from prison.

Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants. The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, aka Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil. Marvel’s Ant-Man also stars Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip ‘Ti’ Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale and Jordi Mollà as Castillo.

Peyton Reed directs Marvel’s Ant-Man with Kevin Feige producing and Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Edgar Wright and Stan Lee serving as executive producers. Marvel’s Ant-Man promises a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure as its blasts its way onto Ster-Kinekor cinemas across South Africa from Friday, 31 July. The running time of the film is 1hr 55 mins, and the classification is still to be confirmed.

‘Ant-Man, while based on a minor deity in Marvel’s pantheon, is not only one of the more entertainingly human fantasies to come out of the studio, but it also defies the bedrock fan-boy aesthetic that you don’t want to merely watch the superhero; you want to be the super hero…’ – Time

Watch the trailer here: http://www.sterkinekor.com/?cinemaID=11#/trailer/7268/IMAX%203D%20-%20Ant-Man/

Seeing Ant-Man in full-on, in-your-face 3D promises an amazing sensory viewing experience – but, be warned, you need to hurry and book your tickets now! The exclusive pre-screening takes place in cinemas at all Ster-Kinekor sites across the country on 30 July for the 20:00 show only.

Ant-Man releases nationally at Ster-Kinekor cinemas on Friday, 31 July. Die-hard IMAX® fans will be pleased to know that Ster-Kinekor is releasing the film in IMAX® 3D in all five of its IMAX® theatres: Gateway in Durban, The Gove in Pretoria, Cape Gate in Cape Town, Baywest in Port Elizabeth and Cradlestone in Krugersdorp. For more information on the exclusive Ant-Man pre-screening and to make bookings, download the Ster-Kinekor App on your smart-phone. To find out what other exciting promotions Ster-Kinekor has on offer, visit www.sterkinekor.com or follow @sterkinekor on Twitter or Facebook at Ster-Kinekor Theatres.

Movie Review - Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) #AvengersJozi #DisneyAfrica

Hi Guys,

The Avengers are back in the circle once again to save the world they love the most. The movie has really great action and story building throughout the 141 minutes. You will never feel bored and will always be glued to your seats till the end of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it as some of the secrets were reveled and new ones were created in this part. I really loved the action sequence the movie opens up with and slowly it led to the introduction of something called Ultron made by our very own Iron Man and Hulk along with J.A.R.V.I.S. This is another MARVEL in the great gems from the house of Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures.

I think the movie is going to break records created by Fast and Furious 7 in South Africa as #AvengersJozi has a great fight sequence between Iron Man and Hulk shot right in the center of Central Business District, Johannesburg. Even my office at 45 Commissioner Street was clearly visible along with the Johannesburg City Library/ Johannesburg City Hall Complex and nearby areas along with the signboard clearly visible for Harrison Street. Jo'burg people will really love watching their beloved city from the skies and a lot of action happening on the ground. This is one of those moments we all cherish to remember the spots we have seen in person to appear on big screen with our favorite MARVEL comics characters. The characters also travels to Seoul, South Korea and shows quite a bit of the city during the course of the movie.

Avengers: Age of Ultron to me appears to be a combination of The Avengers meeting Transformers and X-Men coming together to save the world from human extinction. The characters are shown fighting with machines as it happens in Transformers and people have unique powers that so much happens in X-Men. The new characters that were introduced and how they became Avengers eventually is what you need to know from watching the same in the theater near you. The movie has some romantic moments and emotions thrown in too as well as some of the fun part where everyone tried to pick Thor's Hammer Mjolnir.

The movie is written and directed by Joss Whedon. The action sequences are really nice and new Avengers characters have been introduced in the movie. The movie features a long list of actors which includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, James Spader, and Samuel L. Jackson.

The movie is releasing on 24 April 2015 in Ster Kinekor and you can watch the premier shows as well as preview shows also on 23 April 2015. The movie is best to be watched in 3D to enjoy the most and it's a value for money and time. I totally fell in love with this part and will watch it again with my family and friends. The movie is totally entertaining and go watch it on big screen for it's sheer viewing pleasure and to watch the powers of all The Avengers in action.

The movie builds the logic for the start of the next part of the series to be released in the years to come called Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 & 2. Movie is releasing in Ster Kinekor on 24th Apr 2015. Book your tickets now. More info on twitter and facebook.

#AvengersJozi #Smile #Joburg - Hollywood came looking!

Hi Guys,

These are the two great clips that have been posted by studio that include the sequences shot in our very own City of Gold in Marvel’s upcoming sequel to the super hero team up of a lifetime, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, which hits cinemas next Friday, 24 April, across South Africa. Celebrate with Disney the release by using #AvengersJozi as fans welcome this major film event. 

1) Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron - Global Adventure Featurette
See how the cast and crew traveled the globe to bring you the biggest adventure yet in Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmFc9MumDDs

 

2) Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" - Hulkbuster - Clip 4

Hulk tests the limits of Iron Man's Hulkbuster armor in a new clip from Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjx-02XWuzk

 

STORY SYNOPSIS:

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Chris Evans as Captain America. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, p.g.a., Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on April 24, 2015.  

 

Avengers are on a global adventure, with some three-weeks shoot in Johannesburg, South Africa. The cityscape and surrounding areas would provide the backdrop for one of the biggest action sequences in the film involving Iron Man and The Hulk.

“Johannesburg has a very particular look and style to its architecture that I really liked,” says Joss Whedon, writer and director of this movie. “It has very much its own rhythm, its own feel, its own tones, and there’s an earthiness to the way it looks. It is very different from the other locations we shot. You know immediately you’re not in North America.”

I still remember that it was so hectic to reach CBD in the morning during those three weeks that I shifted myself to other office. It's time to see what Disney & Marvel created in this 141minutes of extraordinary extravaganza.

Rogue One will be directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) and written by Oscar nominee Chris Weitz (Cinderella, About a Boy, Antz). The first actress cast is Felicity Jones who garnered an Academy Award nomination and critical acclaim for her performance in The Theory of Everything. The film is due for release on December 16, 2016.

In addition, Iger confirmed that Rian Johnson will write and direct Star Wars: Episode VIII. The film, which continues the saga after the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (18 December 2015), is set for release on May 26, 2017 — forty years and a day after the release of Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977.
 

Disney•Pixar’s Inside Out is the major emotion picture event of the year, as we travel deep into the most remarkable location of all: the mind. Releasing 19 June nationwide, it’s sure to become a family favourite!

And finally, we welcomed a more in-depth look at the Disney’s riveting mystery adventure Tomorrowland – A World Beyond, where a jaded scientist (George Clooney) and an optimistic teen (Britt Robinson) embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space. The film releases nationwide on 22 May. This is a great year as planned by Disney for the unlimited fun and joy! There is no looking back for the company this year and I am really looking forward to enjoy each and every one of the movies in the schedule.

#AvengersJozi - SA Fashion Week & MARVEL Designs

Hi Guys,

The Walt Disney Company Africa has announced in collaboration with SA Fashion Week,by paying a tribute to the super hero team up of a lifetime – Marvel’s Avengers. On 21 March 2015, at the ’15 Spring/Summer Collection Showcase, six designers revealed their ready-to-wear lines, entirely inspired by the iconic characters featured in the upcoming 24 April cinematic release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.

After a month-long search in December 2014, six designers from across the continent were chosen to showcase their lines at SA Fashion Week. They are South African designers Siyabonga Ntini (Ralfe), Roman Handt (Roman Handt) and Luiz Delaja (M4S) as well as Zimbabwean designer Rumbidzai Muzofa (Rumbie by Rumbie), Zambian designers Christina Kabamba and Donna M’shanga (Kamanga) and South African-based (Spanish-born) designer Amos Tranque (Amos Tranque). Drawing inspiration from Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and The Incredible Hulk, the designers were given free rein to bring each character’s iconic imagery and style to their chosen men’s and women’s lines.

Each designer’s unique take on the Marvel brand and their incorporation of the Avengers characters showcased remarkable use of fabrics and materials, whilst playing with silhouettes, shapes and colours in both men’s and women’s fashion. An exciting fusion of designs from across the continent provided eye-catching and celebratory pieces that included futuristic, traditional and contemporary elements mixed with a distinct blend of African themes and, of course, some daring twists.

“As fans the world over anticipate the release of the next chapter in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, we are thrilled not only to be celebrating the Avengers but also the immense talent that the designers have brought to the SA Fashion Week runway,” says Deirdre King, Head of Marketing for The Walt Disney Company Africa. ‘The Inspired by Marvel campaign truly showcase the timeless and universal appeal that these characters have, whilst remaining relevant in since they first appeared in comic books almost 5 decades ago.”

This is not Disney’s first foray into high fashion – even as far back as 1937, the company collaborated with Cartier for a piece inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Recent collaborations globally include the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, D&G, Castelbajac, Philipp Plein, Chopard, adidas, Havaianas and Desigual to name a few. Earlier this year, world-renown shoe designers such as Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, revealed their own Inspired by Cinderella Shoe designs at the European Premiere of the film. On the local front, 2013 saw Suzaan Heyns becoming the first designer on the continent to participate in the Inspired by Minnie campaign that debuted at SA Fashion Week in October.

The Inspired by Marvel Collections mark the upcoming 24 April cinematic release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. South African fans have an extra reason to celebrate as the hotly anticipated film features key action sequences shot entirely in Johannesburg. Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as The Incredible Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.
