U2 3D - 2008 release date?? +

[djerdap]

Nah, City of Blinding Lights has to be there.

Zoo Station begs for an inclusion. Don't be stupid, U2.

 

[gorman]

Wait, 15 songs? I got an e-mail from U2.com yesterday claiming it would have 20 songs. Then again, the e-mail makes a couple of known errors, so who knows. It is, after all, U2.com we're talking about here.

I think the 20 song number is in regards to the "U2 Go Home" CD package, not U2 3D.

alright this is getting frustrating...

EVERY SINGLE site I've been to does a HORRENDOUS job of not only advertising it, but just making it clear whether or not they will even be playing the damn movie!!! These websites fucking suck...all I want to know is if the movie is playing in the Los Angeles area, and if so, what theater? If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it...

I don't know, maybe I'm just doing a poor job of searching


anyway, I just found another article...this one also says it will be 15 songs..so does that mean that the setlist I posted prior is correct?

[Zooropa man]

You would think that U2.com would do a better job at promoting it. wankers!

the running time for the movie is 82-84 min. That is basically, a whole u2 show minus about 6+ min (usually 90 min shows.. at least here in the US). So, 15 songs doesn't jive.. That is basically an hour show which is what they showed at Cannes last year (short version for the industry). I honestly think these media outlets are basing the setlist on this version because it's been out there already.

Regardless, it doesn't really matter to me about the set list.. I am there for the experience.

 

[Zooropa man]

MUST HAVE ZOO STATION FOR THE FULL VISUAL EFFECT... ALONG WITH "THE FLY"

 

[corianderstem]

I see you're not familiar with U2.com.

 

[Zooropa man]

I see you're not familiar with U2.com.

No, I'm very much familiar with them. It was joke....

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, that's good. I was a little worried there.

 

[Justin24]

Well this Sucks!!!

Glenn Hogarty of Limelight Communications said the movie will be purely a cinematic event and will not be shown on TV or go to DVD.

 

[kennerado]

Makes sense, it was shot for 3D only. Without the right equipment its just another concert on DVD.

 

[Rob33]

hmm...yeah that does suck...so..after the demand goes down, it's done? i don't get it...

btw, that title, "U2 go 3D and it's even better than the real thing" - how is it better than the real thing??? is that just a desperate attempt to make a clever title even if it makes very little sense? Or am I missing something here?

 

[U2girl]

Well this Sucks!!!

http://www.atu2.com/news/article.src?ID=4840

I don't know that this setlist is based on Cannes - weren't there only 9 songs played at the premiere ?

 

[Jeannieco]

That widget thing U2.com sent out is crap.
Like you guys know, it doesn't say a where it's playing. All this after pulling my hair out trying to find the right link from the U23D
website to show the list of cities. The U2.com email I got today specifically said that the website would list the cities it's playing in... BS!!!
WT? That's just lame promotion. Come on people, U2 is better than that!

Yes, I will go to the IMAX link and look it up myself, but come on....
it shouldn't be that hard.
Ok, rant over. MUCHO FRUSTRATED!!!

I agree. I understand they don't want to make a DVD release, the special 3D experience would get lost.

I still hope it will be shown in European cinemas. I have found some digital 3D cinemas but I read today that cinemas here will only play the movie if there is enough demand for it. That kind of sucks.

 

[Rob33]

so did anyone happen to find a link to the list of cities it's playing in?

 

[bonocomet]

I still have not found anything.

 

[waynetravis]

I called me local cinema that opened lastweek to see if they will show it because they have a 3D screen.
She said they have no details yet, and then she said I'm not sure that film will be shown in 3D either

Gee lady, I wondered why 3D was in the film's title.

 

[Justin24]

Spy Kids 3D was released in 3D on DVD so why could they not do it with U23D????

 

[Rob33]

LAMENESS!!!!!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

you know, I find really bizarre that I can't find any info on where and when it's playing in So. Cal. There is no way it's not going to play in such a huge market as that..

What gives??

yeah, I agree...it's a shame it's not getting promoted better...It seems like people from U2 3D are having troubles negotiating with other theaters/areas that could potentially show the movie, maybe that is getting in the way of promoting it properly, cause so far, the promotion sucks...I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of delay in some areas, and it was released sporadically to various theaters in different countries....

I do know though that an IMAX theater in Sacramento is going to be showing it...

 

[bonocomet]

I know, this is so frustrating. All the Imax theatres websites in or close to San Diego are still only showing hanna montanna as playing thru Feb.

 

[Jeannieco]

I found it listed on the IMAX site for Seattle Center ( Pacific Science Center)
Coming attractions...
I had to dig for it though.
Why why why is this so difficult? cheech.

yeah a couple of people have posted this from other sites. I still don't think this is correct but I guess we will find out when it premieres. It's 82-84 mins so this setlist seems like its missing at least a couple of songs..

I was saying earlier that if that's all that's playing, we could always have a gathering and see that That would be.. interesting.. Setlist party
