MINNEAPOLIS, June 15 (UPI) -- The next time James Bond orders a shaken-not-stirred martini, moviegoers in Minnesota can enjoy a cocktail with him in a cineplex that will include a bar.

Patrons of CineMagic Theatres of Minneapolis will also be able to catch the latest blockbuster on an IMAX screen the size of a basketball court, get cozy watching a romantic film on a 2,800-square-foot mega-screen or eat at a full-service restaurant at the company's newest 15-screen complex in Burnsville, The (St. Paul, Minn.) Pioneer Press reported.

If a moviegoer is unmoved by those options, the theater also will have 13 standard screens when CineMagic Atlantis 15 IMAX opens in December.

"Nobody's truly created a separate space for that type of crowd -- where (adults can) relax, enjoy the movie, have a cocktail," said Bryan Sieve, vice president of development and finance at CineMagic, owner of eight theaters in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

In the current plans, moviegoers could buy a cocktail at the bar and take a seat in the theater. The rules: no glassware in the theater, patrons must show their identification before purchasing liquor and only be able to buy one drink at a time.
