| Friday, February 11, 2011 - Nightwish Reveals New Album And Film Plans | In the midst of recording a new album, Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers Nightwish have been preparing a movie.
"Imaginarium" is a music fantasy film based on the forthcoming Nightwish album of the same title and its 13 songs.
The protagonist of the film is a songwriter with an otherworldly imagination. He is an old man who still thinks he's a young boy. While asleep, he travels into his distant past where his dreams of old come back to him mixed to the young boy's world of fantasy and music.
In his dreams the old man fights to find the memories most important to him.
This unprecedented project originated more than two years ago when Nightwish keyboardist and main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen first introduced his ambitious idea of the "Imaginarium" concept to his bandmates and to Stobe Harju, the director of Nightwish's "The Islander" music video. Harju will helm this full-length feature, which will be produced by Solar Films Inc. along with Nightwish.
The "Imaginarium" filming will begin this spring and the movie will have its premiere in 2012.
Nightwish will hold a press conference related to this project at the end of February. |

Comments: 166 | | Interesting. 13 songs for the album. I am going to guess that this will be released before the movie and then re-issued again with a complete score complete with new packaging once the movie is about to be released. Tuomas is an ambitious artist.
I am not surprised he wants to undertake such a project. It will open a lot of doors for him in the future when he opts to become a film composer. Thumbs up to him for following his dreams.
