James Bond heading to Shanghai for immersive screening

Moviegoers in China will soon be able to sip martinis and rub shoulders with tuxedoed spies at an immersive cinema screening of the James Bond film Casino Royale, thanks to a new entertainment deal.

United Kingdom events company Secret Cinema announced on Tuesday that its immersive theatrical productions will go to China for the first time thanks to a new partnership with Shanghai Media Group Live.

Secret Cinema combines movie and television screenings to recreate immersive experiences with interactive performances, live bands and custom-built sets. Audience members themselves dress as characters from the productions and can join in on reenactments of iconic scenes.
