On August 1, 2013, Snowpiercer becomes the first live-action film released on ScreenX-formatted theaters anywhere in the World. The U.S./Korean co-production included ScreenX engagements as part of its South Korean theatrical run.

Snowpiercer is a 2013 post-apocalyptic action thriller based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette. The film was directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Bong Joon Ho, working from a script he co-wrote with and Kelly Masterson. The film marks Bong’s English-language debut with almost 85% of the film’s dialogue being in English.

Snowpiercer stars Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Go Ah-sung, John Hurt and Ed Harris, with Park Chan-wook and Lee Tae-hun among the film’s producers. The film takes place aboard the titular Snowpiercer train as it travels a globe-encircling rail track, carrying the last remnants of humanity after a failed attempt at climate engineering to stop global warming creates an ice-covered Earth. Evans stars as Curtis Everett, leader of the lower-class tail-section passengers, as they rebel against the elite at the front of the train.
