The Blue Man Group stage show is to become an IMAX 3-D feature film.

The act features three mute performers in blue paint who play a diverse range of instruments. Original performers Matt Goldman, Chris Wink and Phil Stanton will star in the movie.

"It's going to have a story, believe it or not. It's going to have real science content, and we're excited about being in the neuroscience space," Goldman told Variety.

"We had a lot of ideas of things coming at you, splashing of paint, explosions of colour. It's a complete mesh of everything that we love."

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth producer Charlotte Huggins will oversee the Blue Man Group movie.

She said: "The 3-D space is a very physical space, and the comedy and drama of the Blue Man Group is very physical, so it's a good fit. It's about the physicality of 3-D."

The film is being targeted for a June 2010 release on IMAX 3-D screens, with a wider release on standard digital screens also planned.
