Theatrical Screenings and Special Appearances by Reno Lemaire
Two exclusive preview events feature personal appearances by Dreamland creator Reno Lemaire alongside surprise guests. The first special screening takes place on September 18 at 8:00 PM at CGR Lattes in Montpellier. A second special event is scheduled for September 20 at 5:00 PM at Le Grand Rex in Paris.
The Montpellier stop carries added significance for the franchise. Reno Lemaire originates from the city, which also serves as the real-world setting where main character Terrence and his friends live out their everyday lives before crossing over into the dream realm.
Plot and Background of the Dreamland Universe
The story centers on Terrence, an 18-year-old struggling with a severe, paralyzing fear of fire following the tragic death of his mother in a house fire. Plagued by nightly nightmares of the trauma, Terrence eventually conquers his terror and learns to control the flames consuming him.
His path crosses with an enigmatic traveler who reveals his new status as a “traveler”—an individual capable of entering Dreamland, an infinite, dream-forged dimension of visions and nightmares. Following the September preview screenings, ADN will release weekly episodes of Dreamland starting October 17.
