Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time Cast & Producers to be Interviewed at Manhattan Premiere

(From Wikipedia)

Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time is coming to the AMC Empire 25 in Manhattan, New York City — the busiest theater in the country! (Note: Actually, it’s not. Check update #2 below.) But that’s not all. Members of the movie’s cast and production team will also be interviewed at the NYC premiere on February 23 and will be answering your questions! Whoa! Head over to the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Facebook page and submit your questions for a chance at getting some answers straight from the source! Dan Green (Yugi), Darren Dunstan (voice director, Pegasus), Sean Schemmel (Paradox), and the film’s producers are ready to give you the inside scoop. Make your questions count!

(Hey, the questions currently on there really blow. C’mon, guys. Don’t ask questions that you know they won’t answer. For goodness’ sake, the cast and production team are taking the time to reach out to us! This might be a once-in-a-lifetime event!)

Can’t make it to New York City? No worries. Don’t forget to search Cinedigm’s theater list to find a local screening near you. New theaters are still being added to their database, with the total hovering at 300, up from the originally planned 250! And remember to keep your eyes on the movie’s official website for everything Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D.

In his live stream earlier today, Little Kuriboh revealed that he will be traveling to Brooklyn on March 5 and 6 to catch the 3D film with some of his American friends. Aww! Maybe he could arrange to attend the February 23rd Manhattan premiere instead!

AMC Empire 25 is located at 234 West 42nd St. in Times Square, a few blocks away from 4Kids’ headquarters.

Update: In related news, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York will also be screening the movie on February 23 right down the street at the AMC Loews Kips Bay 15! Voice actors from the film will be at the event, which will also include a demonstration of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game and a fundraising Yu-Gi-Oh! merchandise raffle. (Via ANN, License! Global)

Update #2 (February 18): As it turns out, there is only one premiere event on February 23 and it is being held at the AMC Loews Kips Bay 15 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York. This is a private, invitation-only event. There will not be a screening at the AMC Empire 25. All of the details that I ascribed to that event actually apply to the Make-A-Wish Foundation event. My apologies. Two very similar events taking place on the same day in such close proximity to one another… I guess the alarm bells just didn’t go off.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time — Official Theater List

An official, preliminary list of theaters scheduled to show Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time is now available! Browse through the list of U.S. theater locations, or search for a theater near you! The list from Cinedigm currently contains a little less than half of the 250 theaters screening the film.

If you can’t yet find a local theater showing the 3D movie, don’t worry! Check again a little later for more updates. Or, if you’re the impatient type, try searching for theaters yourself! Many theaters that will be playing the film and have showtimes already up are not yet on the official list — including some who have screenings scheduled between February 18 and 25 (the week before the official February 26 release date)!

Earlier today, 4Kids also put out a press release for the 10th anniversary film, revealing that the movie will have a “ten-minute back story on the three main characters [...] that incorporates scenes from all three animated series” — footage that was not present when the film premiered early last year in Japan! When the movie returns to Japanese theaters (also on February 26) for an encore screening, it will include ten minutes of “special supplemental footage” presented in 2D. There’s currently no word on whether this footage will be the same as that to be included in the American premiere, though it would seem oddly coincidental if it weren’t. The PR also at last confirms the dates for the film’s U.S. screenings that we’ve long known.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time will play in select theaters on February 26 and 27, and again on March 5 and 6. Don’t forget to check out the official movie website and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Page on Facebook, as well as @YGO3D on Twitter, for all of the latest news about the film!

Update (March 20): Well, Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D has come and gone, with the final showings taking place earlier today. (Bless you, Studio Movie Grill, for still screening the film well after the official dates!) Now that the movie has completely left U.S. theaters, I feel like I can offer this tidbit without being accused of spoilers: the “ten-minute back story” described above indeed contains scenes taken straight from the classic Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s series. The scenes helped to flush out some of the background and motivations of the main characters in the film and were rendered in 3D specially for the big screen. These scenes were not the same as the “special supplemental footage” that was shown in Japan. Looks like their identical lengths were a funny coincidence after all!
