... MarketSaw is reporting that "Transformers 3" will not only be in 3D, but is actually being shot with 3D cameras. This confirmation comes from Vince Pace, one of the camera's creators. He said: "Transformers has also signed on to shoot 3D throughout the film."...
Here's a shot of the 3D camera (between scenes) taken on 7/24 during filming in Chicago at Wabash Avenue and Wacker Drive. There was lots of very impressive destruction!
Its pretty sad when the company you bought your TV from is also excluding you from buying more content. I wonder if those of us who've bought a Samsung 3D TV and BluRay player recently can get in on this deal. I still don't see anything on their website but I'm going to try to fire off an email if I can find the right department to send it to.

In addition Samsung announced the exclusive availability of the 3D Blu-ray version of DreamWorks Animation's 3D "How To Train Your Dragon." The 3D BD will be featured in Samsung's 3D starter kit, which also includes two pairs of Samsung 3D glasses for at-home viewing.
Samsung also announced a strategic marketing partnership with IMAX under which IMAX will license limited use of its trademark and two IMAX 3D films from its original 3D film library, "Into the Deep" and "Galapagos." The 3D Blu-ray versions of the films are exclusive for the next 12 months to Samsung's 2010 3D starter kit, which also includes two pairs of 3D glasses and is free to people who buy a Samsung 3D TV and a Samsung 3D Blu-ray device. The starter kit will be available starting this fall.
Giant Screens Film's "Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs" will also be available as part of the IMAX deal.
My question is, how will people that already have the Samsung kit get access to these titles?
What good does it do Samsung to add exclusive titles if people that already bought the starter bundle can't hardly get any more movies?
This would be a huge stick in the eye to loyal buyers.
Be creative - buy one of the starter kits with a new movie in it and sell off the glasses. The movie will cost you less then what people are paying on Ebay.
With so much positive buzz (even here it feels like a trip to the dentist), there is no way I would part with my money for this technology... 3D is never to 2B!
I have always loved 3d, from the first moment I saw a viewmaster. To me it was a no brainer to buy into the technology. I have always been an early adaptor, was one of the first on my street to have an hdtv, I remember when they started broadcasting digital stations and getting very little hd content. I also purchased the dvd player when it first came out, I have one of the original toshiba dvd players, i still wont part with it because I spent $700 on it. What the hell was I thinking! I bought the hd-dvd add-on to the xbox, that went belly up, oh well.
I have the income to purchase the stuff, so I enjoy it. To me its not about waiting for it to become affordable and more mainstream, I want to enjoy it now and thats just the price one has to pay.
I figure once these samsung titles are out, I will simply call samsung or write a letter asking if I can somehow get these titles, if I cant I will resort to other ways. Hopefully not ebay though.
I don't even bother checking Ebay anymore; the asking prices are ridiculous no matter how little content there is. Likewise I've held off getting the German editions like Grand Canyon as I don't want to fiddle with foreign menus.
The BluRays will start to flow eventually; my gut tells me that we'll get a lot more in the way of announcements in mid-September, right around the time the PS3 gets its 3D BluRay update.
In the meantime, I'll occupy myself with 2D>3D, 3D videogames (of which there are already a good amount) and the occasional 3D video clip downloaded from the web.
Well I just updated my old Samusung 67" 750 series to 3D, all I'm waiting for now are the xpand glasses.
I'm glad atleast there is OFFICIALLY about one B3D a month the rest of the year.
Monster House Sept
Grand Canyon Oct
Toy Story 3 Nov
Christmas Carol mid Nov
I think that will atleast be enough to hold me over til next year. And I know we are all starved guys, but don't worry. You'll be seeing alot of new B3D movies coming out as next year starts to roll around. I too hate the stupid exclusivity stuff. And the fact that Avatar will prob be exclusive for 8 months or more. But just be happy with what we got and know that more is coming, VERY SOON.

I know each of the above could previously be pre-ordered on Amazon except Toy Story 3. Is it now available for pre-order too?
I'm just gonna buy it day one at Best Buy like I do all my blurays. Make sure to confirm 3D before you order.
Hey, does anyone know where I can view info (maybe box art) of Grand Canyon Adventure 3D by Imax for Bluray? Amazon just lists a 2D version already available when I search. I just want a place to confirm the release. And maybe see the box art.

I'm pretty confident that is not a Bluray 3D release. The standalone blu-ray release is a 2-disc set as well.
ok so then Toy Story 3 and Imax: Grand Canyon aren't available for pre order yet? Cause the only ones of those 4 I can find are Monster House 3D and Christmas Carol 3D.
