Cineplex Beams William Shatner's The Captains into Movie Theatres Across Canada

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 6, 2011) - Star Trek fans, set your phasers to stun! William Shatner's new documentary, The Captains, lands in participating movie theatres across Canada on Thursday, October 13 at 7 p.m. (local time) for a one-night only presentation. This special event, presented by Cineplex Entertainment's (TSX:CGX) Front Row Centre Events and Ballinran Entertainment, is the final frontier to see this highly anticipated documentary in theatres.

The Captains is a feature length documentary that "boldly goes where no man has gone before," giving viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most durable and profitable franchises in entertainment history, and the men and women who made the Star Trek brand an international phenomenon since 1966. The Captains is written and directed by William Shatner.

"Movie theatre seats across the country are the closest fans can get to the Captain's chair on this voyage that looks at the iconic role of a Star Trek Captain," said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. "Trekkies will not want to miss this one-night only event."

The Captains is produced by Canada's Ballinran Entertainment and Le Big Boss Productions in association with Movie Central, a Corus Entertainment Company; EPIX; The Movie Network, an Astral Media Network; and Les Chaines Tele Astral - a division of Astral Broadcasting Group; with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Ontario Media Development Corporation Film and Television Tax Credit.
