WOW : Cirque du Soleil + James Cameron

The Cirque Du Soleil performed at London's Royal Albert Hall

 CBC News Posted: Jan 11, 2012 4:02 PM ET

Two major Canadian cultural exports — filmmaker James Cameron and the Cirque du Soleil — have teamed up for a 3D film project slated to hit theatres in 2012.

Paramount Pictures announced on Tuesday it would bring Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away to theatres around the globe later this year, though an exact release date has yet to be set.

The project was written and directed by Andrew Adamson, whose credits include family-friendly film series Shrek and The Chronicles of Narnia. Cameron, known for his blockbusters Avatar and Titanic as well as for his undersea documentaries, served as executive producer. The partnership was first announced in late 2010.

The forthcoming film features a story written expressly for the project and performances drawn from the many elaborate Cirque productions around the world.
