COLUMBUS, Ga., Oct 14, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CKEC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Apple Corps Ltd./Cirque du Soleil, The Bigger Picture, an AccessIT company, AEG Network LIVE and Carmike Cinemas present the highly acclaimed feature-length documentary All Together Now to digital cinema audiences on October 20th. This one night only event follows well-received film festival screenings across North America, including a sold out opening night U.S. premiere at the Silverdocs Festival in Washington D.C. where the Washington Post observed that All Together Now "cuts into the heart of [LOVE]."

"Seeing this documentary on the big screen will be a truly moving experience for the viewer as they witness the creation of the show LOVE," says director Adrian Wills. "The digital cinema projection and amazing 5.1 sound allow us to envelop the audience in the grandiose visual world of Cirque du Soleil and legendary music of The Beatles."

Cinema-goers will have the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes with a grand prize that will include a pair of tickets to LOVE(TM) Tapis Rouge(TM), an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience of the show; roundtrip airfare for two within the continental US to Las Vegas, and a three day/two night stay at the Mirage; a copy of every Beatles CD currently in release; and a copy of the All Together Now DVD.

All Together Now has screened to critical acclaim at a number of festivals in the U.S. and across Canada in 2008. Among them were Rolling Stone's praise of its sweeping visual style and "many insightful interviews." Las Vegas Magazine called All Together Now"remarkable" and Variety observed that the film "wowed audiences."

The documentary details the story behind the unique partnership between The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil that resulted in the creation and 2006 launch of LOVE, the stage production still playing to packed houses at The Mirage in Las Vegas, and the experimental Beatles soundscape album of the same name, which garnered two Grammy Awards for producers Sir George and Giles Martin. The movie is dedicated to the memory of Neil Aspinall, former CEO of Apple Corps and an Executive Producer of the DVD.

The director, Adrian Wills, traveled between London, Montreal, and Las Vegas, recording early meetings between the Cirque du Soleil & Apple Corps Ltd. creative teams, as well as filming contributions from Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison discussing how The Beatles' music can be used in a different way. Noting the uniqueness of these interactions, Wills explains, "What surprised me the most was how human the whole process was."

These early stages of the project were all filmed, as were the first rehearsals at the Mirage Hotel theatre in Las Vegas, which was completely rebuilt with a one-of-a-kind sound system and complex round staging to house the LOVE show. Sir George and Giles Martin, the show's Musical Directors, were involved every step of the way with the remarkable Cirque du Soleil creative team, performers and backroom staff.

It wasn't all "plain-sailing" and there has been no attempt to disguise some of the disagreements that took place along the way regarding how some of the songs would be portrayed visually. These creative differences, a necessary part of the overall process of bringing LOVE to its most vibrant life, illustrate the participants' love and respect for the music and vision of The Beatles.

The October 20th screenings of All Together Now will take place at digitally equipped cinemas across the country. Carmike Cinemas will be showing this one time event at 22 locations:
