Berlin-based MMO developer and operator Metaversum announce the opening of a virtual cinema in 3D world Twinity.

German cinema operator CineStar, with the help of web agency byForce Sunrise, opened the Cubix movie theatre, which is located in Twinity's virtual recreation of Berlin. Metaversum is creating scale replicas of various cities for Twinity and plans to debut Berlin, its first virtual city, in Twinity's upcoming public beta.

As part of Cubix's opening, CineStar and its partner Warner Bros. Entertainment are presenting bonus material from Batman film The Dark Knight, a merchandising shop, and an event hall for The Dark Knight parties in the virtual theatre.

The cinema will also have a The Dark Knight competition, movie trailers, flash games based on current movies, and highlights from the recent Bitfilm festival.

Said Metaversum CMO Mirko Caspar: "The cooperation with CineStar and Warner Bros. perfectly mirrors our vision for Twinity. Attractive entertainment content that can be shared with like-minded people in Twinity gives the real cinema experience a whole new dimension. Visiting the virtual Cubix becomes an exciting event for all Batman fans."
