IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures, a division of Time Warner Inc.

The film will be released in select IMAX® and IMAX® 3D theatres starting April 4, 2014.

ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR reunites Freeman with Drew Fellman, who also wrote and produced the 2011 IMAX 3D documentary Born to Be Wild 3D, and director David Douglas, who served as director of photography on that film.

ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR is the incredible true story of nature’s greatest explorers – lemurs. Captured with IMAX® 3D cameras, the film takes audiences on a spectacular journey to the remote and wondrous world of Madagascar. Lemurs arrived in Madagascar as castaways millions of years ago and evolved into hundreds of diverse species but are now highly endangered. Join trailblazing scientist Patricia Wright on her lifelong mission to help these strange and adorable creatures survive in the modern world.

ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR features trailblazing scientist Patricia Wright, an expert on lemurs and the wildlife of Madagascar.  Wright is also a Professor of Anthropology at Stony Brook University and Founder of Centre ValBio, a research campus in the rainforest of Madagascar.

Morgan Freeman’s myriad credits encompass more than 80 films over five decades, only recently including Now You See Me, Oblivion, the Dark Knight trilogy, Dolphin Tale, and Red.  He has also lent his recognizable voice to such titles as War of the Worlds, Born to Be Wild 3D, and the Oscar-winning documentary March of the Penguins.  In 2012, he was the recipient of the HFPA’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for his outstanding contributions to film.

Directed by David Douglas and written and produced by Drew Fellman,  ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Entertainment.
