Following Arnold Schwarzenegger's famous catch phrase - "I'll be back", Malaysia's biggest and most successful annual movie-themed event returns for the fourth year running, serving as a platform for movie lovers to gather together and experience anything and everything movies! Jointly organised by Cinema Online and MyPartners Communications, Movie Carnival aims to bring moviegoers closer to one of Malaysia's favourite pastimes – watching movies. Carrying a hefty load of blockbuster films and activities to entice movie fans, Movie Carnival 2009 is set to take on the festive affair at The Orange and Blue atriums of Sunway Pyramid's new wing for 10 days from 29 May to 7 June. The event coinciding with the school holiday season is opened to the public from 10am to 10pm daily and admission is free.

In Superhero Factory, moviegoers can transform from zero to hero using the costumes and props provided, complete with special effects make-up by professional make-up artists all at a nominal fee of RM20 (inclusive of a free photo print).
