The Official AVS 3D Film (First Run In Theaters) Topic! - Page 3

Disney / Pixar has announced that MONSTERS INC. 2 will be coming our way on November 16, 2012 and since ALL of Pixar's movies will be in stereoscopic 3D indefinitely, so will MONSTERS INC. 2.

Further, another Pixar movie originally entitled THE BEAR AND THE BOW will have a name change to BRAVE and an updated release date of June 15, 2012. Of course, it will be in S3D as well.

Perfect!! The man himself, Ridley Scott has confirmed to Steve @ Collider that the ALIEN prequel will definitely be shot in 3D and that he will be using the most advanced 3D cameras on the planet. Twice as effective as the ones used on AVATAR as Cameron's technology as evolved since then.

Scott's main concern is lighting as the ALIEN franchise is very dark and shadowy. As you may know, projecting 3D cuts the light effectively in half as 50% of the light goes to each eye, but not at the same time. James Cameron had some similar issues with AVATAR and spent a lot of time on evening out the lighting throughout the movie and it paid off. Look for the same effort from Ridley on ALIEN.

Unfortunately, they have decided to do a last-minute rush job conversion on The Last Airbender (or Avatar: The Last Airbender for us animation fans), still set for release July 2nd. I'm sure it will be as suck as Clash. Very sad, as I just finished watching the animation and it's fantastic (and it's only barely a kids show, very enjoyable for adults.) 3d conversion is an insult to fans, I wonder what M. Night thinks about it (I doubt he had any control over the decision).

RealD Professional Stereo3D Calculator features include:

- Parallax - know the depth of a shot by seeing the actual positive and negative parallax values at any distance with the subject in focus.
- Separation - learn how various objects in each shot will affect the on-screen image quality based on separation and distance from the cameras (includes "Maximum Positive On-Screen Offset").
- Lens - determine the appropriate lens or zoom to achieve the desired 3D effect
- Shooting style - choose "Converged" or "Parallel" style to customize shots and plan post-production workflow.
- Camera Setup - set camera model, lens type and interaxial range; test real shots with interactive shot settings and quickly rearrange the setup real-time.
- Stereo Solver™ Mode gives the exact settings needed to accomplish any shot while ensuring far objects' parallax never goes over defined maximum on-screen offset.
- S3D Calculator Mode functions as a pure 3D reference calculator with interactive value tables.

Combining two of Hollywood's consuming passions -- sequels and 3D -- Paramount is moving ahead with a new installment of the horror thriller franchise "The Ring."

The third entry based on the Japanese horror movies is being called "Ring 3D." David Loucka, who wrote the now-shooting thriller "Dream House" for Morgan Creek, has been tapped to pen the script.

According to Warner Brothers, the ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ remake that has just been released will soon have a sequel in stereoscopic 3D, due to its huge success at the box office.

The studio considered releasing the ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ remake in 3D however the movies director held them off, as the movie would need to be converted from 2D to 3D. Now according to reports, the movies sequel will be produced in stereoscopic 3D.

POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL is set to be unleashed in stereoscopic 3D as a sequel to the Jim Henson children's classic THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982).

The Speirig Brothers (Michael and Peter) are directing. These are the guys that brought us the refreshing look at vampires in DAYBREAKERS so it is an interesting departure for these guys to dolly up for kids fare

Big news here: Fox is investing in their PLANET OF THE APES franchise with a prequel entitled RISE OF THE APES (tentative title). Variety reports that 20th Century Fox will release the scifi thriller June 24, 2011.

Here is the kicker! Peter Jackson's Weta has partnered with Fox to deliver the effects for the movie which promise photo real apes for the first time ever.

JUDGE DREDD is going 3D (via Deadline). This time without Sylvester Stallone I am betting :-) For those unaware, Judge Dredd is a UK comic character who is empowered to act as judge, jury and executioner.

Pete Travis (VANTAGE POINT) is directing the $50 million futuristic actioner written by Alex Garland (28 DAYS LATER) and financed by Reliance Big Entertainment and IM Global. Apparently it is sticking very close to the original comic intent and this should make quite a ride.

If Marvel is going to do 3D, they want to do 3D right. "The team has been doing a lot of research into 3-D processes, and we're looking at it on future films when we have the time," Feige said. "We will be doing it at some point." That point may beThor (which wasn't shot on 3D cameras and would have to be converted in post), but it's far more likely to be The First Avenger: Captain America. That begins shooting this summer in England, giving them ample time to use 3D cameras and all kinds of technological wizardry. It would also be a pretty ideal character to debut 3D with -- Cap is, after all, known for throwing that indestructible shield of his. He also slams people around a lot. It's the ideal prop for 3D, moreso than Mjolnir. (That's my humble opinion, of course.)

There's some dispute over whether or not the folks in mouse ears plan to go Avatar-style for all or just some of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and convert the rest, but with a projected release date of May 20, 2011, we should know more very soon. 2D, 3D or otherwise with Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow, we're figuring it'll do ok at the box office.

When it comes to in-your-face explosions, feelings of vertigo, and all sorts of visual effects that bring out all that 3D technology has to offer, who doesn't think of Looney Tunes?

Okay, so maybe Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner aren't what James Cameron had in mind when he sought out to re-envision the world of 3D media, but Warner Bros has marked the first major announcement of 3D stereoscopic cartoons.

According to AHN, Warner Bros will start inserting 30-second cartoon shorts before its theatrical 3D movie presentations, starting with July's release of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.

The first new 3D shorts is called "Coyote Falls" and features none other than Wile E. Coyote. He'll be blowing up Acme rockets and smashing into the screen with a whole new level of realism.

Coyote Falls is the first of many planned computer-animated shorts that Warner plans to pepper into most of its upcoming 3D movies.Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Marvin the Martian, and Porky Pig are all confirmed to be getting the 3D transformation.

And th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!

Huge news here guys from New York magazine if it comes to fruition! Sir Ridley Scott is apparently in deep negotiations to become partners with Symphony 3D which happens to be the parent company of MasterImage.

"Plan 9 from Outer Space, Now in 3D!" will be seen in select US theatres in limited release and on VOD on various network locations later this summer.

Sam Raimi has signed on to direct OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL according to Deadline. The movie is actually going to be a prequel to THE WIZARD OF OZ and it will definitely be in 3D.

We're not sure what happened to the 3D release of 'Beauty & The Beast', it was due for release this summer but has been pushed back to a date unknown. Meanwhile producer Don Hahn has let slip that another classic Disney animation, 'The Lion King' is to receive a 3D conversion and a cinema re-release. The power producer is currently working on Roger Rabbit 2, which he reports will make fans 'Very Very Happy'.


There is no date yet pencilled in for the release, but it is expected that the 3D version of 'Beauty & The Beast' will hit Irish cinemas early next year

Also, in setting up, I found a few extra details/descrepancies on IMDB:
Legend of the Guardians will have a 1.44 Imax aspect
Alpha and Omega releases Sept 17?
Megamind - 1.85 3d and 1.44 imax
Tron Legacy 1.44 imax
Gullivers Travels Dec 22?

In an interview with film magazine Inside Film, Australian director George Miller said he will shoot Mad Max 4:Fury Road, the sequel of the cult classics, in 3D, using "revolutionary new technology which is being developed by Miller himself based on technology originally developed by DALSA Corporation."

Our sources tell us that "Thor" and "Captain America" are to be converted into 3D.

We're excited to hear the great news for 3D fans that the summer of 2011 will be a monster summer at the movies! 2 big productions are slated for release based on classic Marvel superheroes. Thor, which will be released on May 6, 2011 and then Captain America: The First Avenger, which comes out July 22, 2011.

Although it is true that both of these have been in the works for some time, they are going to be released with the controversial post conversion 3D process, according to the LA Times Hero Complex.
