Metallica Through the Never, the ambitious 3D movie starring the heavy metal icons, finally has a release date.

Drowning in the drama and drudgery of domestic bliss, I was badly in need of doing something completely different. Since my heavy metal experience has been limited to head banging to ACDC’s Thunderstruck at my high school sokkie, I was pretty sure that attending the Metallica concert at the Bellville Velodrome (on a school night, nogal) would qualify.

'Metallica Through the Never' will be the first movie to open on every single IMAX screen in North America.

IMAX Corporation and Picturehouse today announced that Metallica Through the Never, filmmaker Nimrod Antal's captivating 3D movie featuring one of music's most enduring and iconic bands, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX 3D format and released wide in North America exclusively into IMAX theaters for a one-week engagement starting Friday, Sept. 27. The film will expand into additional theaters on Oct. 4.
