The company planning a multiplex cinema in Douglas says is promising the latest big-screen technology and luxury seating.

This week, Omniplex revealed it's hoping to build a seven-screen facility on the Lord Street car park site as part of a £25 million redevelopment scheme.

In a statement, the Irish chain says it'll feature 20-metre giant screens with surround sound and reclining seats.

It adds it's pleased to be involved with the Quayside North project, and hopes to provide a world-class cinema experience to Manx audiences.
