IMAX Re-Release of The Who's 70s Rock Opera 'Tommy' New Trailer

"Your senses will never be the same again!" Let's play some pinball! The Who's iconic rock opera Tommy is getting re-release in IMAX for two nights only this March. IMAX has unveiled a new official trailer for the re-release of Tommy, which first hit theaters in 1975, making this year's re-release a celebration of its 51st anniversary. Tommy is the rock opera musical movie created by and starring the band known as The Who. It's written, co-produced, and directed by Ken Russell, based on the Who's album of the same name, about a psychosomatically deaf, mute, and blind boy who becomes a pinball champion and religious leader. The film features an epic ensemble cast, including the members of the Who themselves – most notably, lead singer Roger Daltrey, who plays the titular role – along with Oliver Reed, Ann-Margret, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Robert Powell, Keith Moon, Paul Nicholas, Pete Townshend, and Tina Turner. Remarkably this film got away with only a PG rating despite all that is going on. This looks totally bonkers! A crazy fun throwback to the 60s and 70s era when they were making all these movies with rock bands, going all-out wild with extravagant ideas & weird concepts & whatever they could think of. Rock on. // Continue Reading ›
