HOLLYWOOD – September 9, 2011 – Pearl Media, a non-traditional media company specializing in groundbreaking out-of-home brand experiences, and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment celebrated the Blu-Ray and DVD release of the critically acclaimed and highly-anticipated X-Men: First Class last night with the transformation of Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel into a massive 3D X-Men projection.
Showcasing the powers of the young mutant class and their effects on the historic building, the mind-blowing 3D projection entertained partygoers and passers-by, as they witnessed the Roosevelt Hotel freeze, melt, become covered in fur and scales, withstand a tornado hit and mutate into the shape of the X-Men symbol right before their eyes and without the use of 3D glasses.
