Details on Signature Film and Attractions of Studio City Macau Given at Three Day Beijing Event

Beijing, China (May 8, 2015) /GLOBE NEWSWIRE/ — Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (SEHK:6883) (Nasdaq:MPEL) (“Melco Crown Entertainment” or the “Company”), a developer, owner and operator of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, today officially launched a three-day Studio City Experience China Roadshow at Parkview Green FangCaoDi in Beijing.

Envisioned by Mr. Lawrence Ho, the US$3.2 billion Studio City is a new cinematically-themed entertainment and leisure destination in Macau that is set to become Asia’s Entertainment Capital, and to take Macau’s entertainment destination proposition to unprecedented new levels.

Hollywood icon and Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese was featured in a special personal video message to Beijing today to reveal further details of his short-movie “The Audition” – starring a stellar A-list line-up of Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Brad Pitt – as part of the launch of a China-wide showcase of Melco Crown Entertainment’s new cinematically-themed leisure destination resort in Macau: Studio City.

Mr. Scorsese provided insights on a ‘making of’ sequence from his new special short movie, set around a Studio City storyline, which, in a world first, brings Hollywood stars DiCaprio, De Niro and Pitt together in a film. “The Audition” will premiere at the grand opening of Studio City.

“I am very happy to be talking to our media friends in Beijing and to tell them a little more about the plot of ‘The Audition’,” said Mr. Scorsese. “To put it simply, it is a short film that is all about competition between these masters of movie-acting, each of them going out for the same part in a theoretical movie, supposedly to be directed by me, set around Studio City.

“I cannot tell how much fun I have had working in collaboration with Brett Ratner, with Lawrence Ho and James Packer, and, it goes without saying, with Leo, Bob and Brad. I am looking forward to our picture’s world premiere at Studio City’s grand opening. And I hope that our audience in China will enjoy watching ‘The Audition’ as much as we enjoyed making it.”

The three-day Beijing showcase premiere provides a first opportunity for media and consumers in China to discover the thrilling new leisure entertainment attractions to be experienced at Studio City, the new Asia’s Entertainment Capital.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment meets the media and travel trade at the Beijing showcase of Studio City in Macau.
