Whovians are invited to attend a special two-day event organized by BBC North America and Fathom Events. It will include 3D screenings of a "Doctor Who" season 9 prequel as well as the two-part season 8 finale "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven."
Over 700 theaters throughout the US will participate in the said event which also includes an interview with stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, hosted by Wil Wheaton. Tickets will go on sale starting Friday, July 31 and can be purchased online from Fathom's website or participating theater box offices.
As per Comic Book, the screenings "will be presented in RealD 3D and Dolby Atmos sound (where available) on September 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m."
"We love bringing 'Doctor Who' events to theaters and seeing the fans come out in full force," Kymberli Frueh, VP of Programming at Fathom Events said in a statement.
"This time fans get the added excitement of seeing all of the action in 3D with exclusive bonus content not available anywhere else."
These are the same folks behind the screenings of the BBC sci-fi show's 50th Anniversary Special and season eight premiere.
ScreenCrush reported that the "Doctor Who" season 9 prequel will be called "The Doctor's Meditation."
Meanwhile, fans may want to relive the game-changing season 8 finale in 3D. According to BBC America, the official synopsis reads:
"In this epic two-part finale, the Doctor comes face to face with the mysterious Missy, and an impossible choice is looming. With Cybermen on the streets of London, old friends unite against old enemies, and the Doctor takes to the air in startling new role."
For Whovians who can't wait for the season 9 premiere, the special two-day event would be the "perfect way" to get ready for the Doctor and Clara's next adventures, according to Soumya Sriraman, EVP Film, Home Entertainment and Licensing for BBC Worldwide North America.
Season 9 premieres Saturday, September 19 on BBC America, a few days after the "Doctor Who" season 9 prequel and season 8 finale are shown in cinemas.
