Get ready to experience Heated Rivalry like never before. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final two episodes of season 1 (“I’ll Believe in Anything”, and “The Cottage”) are headed to theaters in 4DX.
The event will be streaming at all 59 Regal 4DX auditoriums nationwide, alongside other participating locations in other U.S. theaters. Internationally, 4DX screenings will also be available at Cineworld in the United Kingdom and at Cineplex in Canada. “Fans made it loud and clear that they wanted more Heated Rivalry on the big screen, so we’re turning up the heat,” Brooks LeBoeuf, Regal senior VP of US content said in a statement.
“Episodes five and six bring years of tension between Shane and Ilya to a boiling point, and 4DX takes it all to another level,” LeBoeuf said. “Together with CJ 4DPLEX, we’re giving fans a chance to feel every hit on the ice, every stolen embrace, and every pulse-pounding moment in between. You may know these episodes by heart, but you’ve never experienced them like this.”
Beginning November 6 and continuing through November 30, fans will be able to revisit the series across three paired episode screenings. The first two are “Rookies” and “Olympians”, the second two are “Hunter” and “Rose”, while the last two are the aforementioned “I’ll Believe in Anything” and “The Cottage”.
Heated Rivalry is currently filming two seasons back-to-back, with plans on shooting a holiday movie underway. The series follows Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov (The Bell Jar, Ghost Rider) and Hudson Williams (Apparatus, Tyrant) as Shane Hollander, two generational hockey players who start out as rivals, only to develop into something more as the series progresses. The series is based on the Game Changers series of books by Rachel Reid, and the first book in the series is adapted as a B-plot in the first season of the television show, starring Francois Arnaud (Godstar, Old Friends New Friends) as Scott Hunter and Robbie G.K. (The House Call, Meatballs) as Kip Grady.
