Na Hong-jin's highly-regarded genre film "Hope" will receive early access to premium large format screenings on Monday, Sept. 7, two days before its national release. The movie diverges from typical alien invasion narratives and will play in 175 premium format locations nationwide, utilizing six distinct formats such as Dolby, 4DX, ScreenX, Barco HDR, D-Box, and Dolby Atmos.

These screenings will be held in major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco. Neon explains that this "will grant fans an early opportunity to witness the grandeur and spectacle of Na Hong-jin's latest cinematic masterpiece, from its breathtaking action sequences and expansive set pieces to its immersive cinematic sound and scope."

TheWrap's Cannes review lauded the film as "an all-time great action film."

Neon has an impressive lineup for the awards season, including "Hope," Palme d’Or-winning drama "Fjord," Harlem Renaissance documentary "Once Upon a Time in Harlem," James Gray's period crime film "Paper Tiger," and modern-day reimagining of Virginia Woolf's "Mrs.

Dalloway." Tickets for the advance large-format showings of "Hope" can be purchased via the provided link.
