Posted by at 2:17 pm on May 4, 2011

20th Century Fox announced today that ‘Glee Live! 3D!’, based on the hit TV show’s North American concert tour, will hit theaters on August 12.

Twentieth Century Fox will release the film – for a special limited two-week engagement in theaters on August 12, 2011.

So Gleeks who were unable to obtain tickets to the sold-out shows, or who live in markets not included in the tour can experience the concert in an immersive 3D theatrical event.

Starring 14 members of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television show’s cast and shot live during the summer concerts, the movie will capture the unique concert experience along with special moments involving the characters themselves.

“This tour was all about going out and performing for our amazing fans who have supported our show from the beginning, but due to the limited time we had to travel during our hiatus, there were only so many cities we could get to before we had to resume work on the television series,” commented Glee creator Ryan Murphy. “We knew that not every fan who wanted to attend a concert would get that opportunity. Now, thanks to our friends at Twentieth Century Fox Film, we’ll be able to bring the concert experience to movie theaters across the country in full three dimensional glory. We promise every passionate ‘Gleek’ a cinematic experience that will have them singing and dancing in the aisles.”

Kevin Tancharoen (“Fame,” “Mortal Kombat: Legacy” series) will direct the film.

The concert tour wraps up June 18 in Uniondale, New York, before moving on to the United Kingdom. For more information, please visit “Glee” at www.gleetour.com.

GLEE LIVE! 3D! will include live performances of some of the show’s most memorable musical numbers, including “I’m a Slave 4 U,” “Raise Your Glass,” “Teenage Dream,” and “Lucky,” as well as the original songs that became chart-toppers such as “Loser Like Me,” “Hell to the No!” and “Get it Right,” and of course, the show’s anthem, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” The first “Glee” concert tour in 2010 was described by the Los Angeles Times as “triumphant,” while USA Today called the concerts “equal parts musical theater, giddy pop culture phenomenon and Journey-loving rock show.”
