RealD Introduces XLW Cinema System for 3D Projection in Premium Large Screen Venues

Quote:
1.0 Throw Ratio Designed for Large Stadium Seating Auditoriums With Screens up to 82 Feet Wide

The XLW Cinema System utilizes light efficiency technology introduced with the XL Cinema System, which captures light lost by other 3D projection technologies and recycles it back onto the screen for a brighter and more immersive 3D experience. By utilizing a single digital cinema projector, XLW Cinema Systems do not suffer from the imbalance and misalignment issues of dual projector systems and offer exhibitors cost savings on power usage and equipment such as projectors and lamps.

Be on the lookout for this one. No speculation, let alone confirmation that it'll be 3D so far, but Jerry Bruckheimer (directing Pirates 4 3D, of course) is developing a "space adventure" film pitched by screenwriter Jon Spaihts (who wrote the first draft of the 3D Alien prequel, and also Darkest Hour 3D). It just seems like a logical fit for 3D.

Looks like there are a handful of movies coming to theaters in 3d soon. Many of the movies advertised during the super bowl are 3d. I'm pretty excited!

I saw trailers for Transformers 3, Rio, Mars Needs Moms, Pirates 4 and Kung Fu Panda 2.

And then of course, the outcasts, the conversions- Captain America and Thor. I wouldn't mind so much if they were planned for 3D from the start like Alice in Wonderland and to some extent Green Hornet, but based on the trailers, both look like they were shot as 2D movies only. And from seeing the conversion job of Thor in the trailer before Tron Legacy, they aren't even trying.

Another great thread!

Reviews have been bad (good eye candy, bad acting), will still buy though for the eye candy.

I give most every movie a shot, so crap in 3D has got to better than crap in 2D...Right?

Just saw The Sanctum this afternoon. I agree with the reviews for the most part. Not too thrilling a plot. If this was supposed to be a horror (scary) film it failed miserably. Just people getting into situations they can't get out of in an underwater cave.

The 3D I thought in general was good. No pop-outs to speak of other than bubbles underwater and an occasional divers fin or flipper in your face as they swam along. (See, just nothing to get real excited about.) Good 3D depth throughout the movie and the 3D did add something to the enjoyment in the cave scenes and underwater scenes. I doubt that I will buy it for my library however.

By the way, if you are claustophobic (sp) this probably is not for you.

No. But the projects exist, so it's not like it would be misinformation to put them on a TBD list. For track-keeping purposes, include the year each movie was announced, that way you can know how long something's been sitting on the shelf for, and you can pull it from the list after a few years of inactivity.

Are they scheduled for 2012? That's as far as I am keeping track

I can understand your reasoning, but I wish there were at least a pile we could chuck all these other movies into. As a group we'd have an easier time than the guys who run the 3D sites. We wouldn't have to feel obligated to make sure the list is 100% complete; just that it's the most complete.

I think all that's known is that Gatsby starts shooting in August, Pinnochio starts production this year, and Dracula in May.

Well, I will definitely be on the lookout. I check IMDB an average of twice a week on films with no release dates.

And of course, any help you can provide is always welcome

My problem is space. I could start another list of films that have been announced as intended for production.

Let me noodle it for a bit - get back to you.

OK - with a little help I have solved the space problem so I will now be starting a new list called:

3D Movies In Preproduction

Will be the fourth post in the thread
