I just hope it's accurate. I'm still debating on going up there or not. It's less than a 30 minute drive, but I'd have to cancel a party I'm having with my friends...4U2Play said:

OK, we made it to Sundance, Park City is still pretty empty, though.
Tonight (Thursday) was the opening film, "In Bruges", with Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes. Another hitman comedy flick with some ultraviolence in the end. Robert Redford and Farrell introduced the movie, but Fiennes wasn't there.
Was hoping some of the lads would be there in support of Farrell, but rumor is that they'll be here Saturday, with some sort of mini-concert somewhere before the U2 3D screenings at 9:45pm and 11:59pm Saturday night.
Spoke to the security honchos at the Eccles Theater in Park City where U2 3D will be playing, telling them that U2 fans will probably start lining up early, and that we will try to coordinate with theater security to ensure a smooth line up outside.
It's below freezing here during the day, so we'll probably allow people to leave the line for a few hours during the day, so everyone doesn't end up frozen and exhausted.
More info as it unfolds....

So what exactly happens before a movie screening? I’ve never been to a film festival of this caliber before nor have I ever attended as staff. The Sundance film festival is a new experience to me. And everywhere I go, do, and see excites me to no end!
I attended the film’s audio and visual tech check at the Eccles Theater today where the staff tuned and tested the systems. Present were U2 3D Producer and Executive Audio Producer, John Modell as well as U2’s long-time sound team, Carl Glanville and Robbie Adams, Audio Director, Joe O’Herlihy, VFX Supervisor, Dave Franks, Dolby’s Technical Director Russell Allen, Production Manager Jenny Sireci, and Supervising Producer, Ted Kenney.
When asked why such an elite army of technicians was needed for set up, John Modell stated, “It’s the premiere of the film with U2, the greatest band in the world. We brought all the guys who have worked with the band a long time and Clair Bros who brought a customized sound system to the theater. We also worked with Dolby who delivered their newest 3D system, which is amazing looking.” Modell, who is also a musician, felt that this was, “the most high tech film screening that’s ever been done in history.”
Ted Kenney echoed Modell’s eagerness to make everything perfect explaining that today was the last day to make all final touches on the visuals and audio, “Every venue is different so it’s a priority for us to make every seat in the house have the same quality of sound. It’s important to us, the director, and the music producer to replicate a live concert experience.”
I’m not an AV expert. But I have seen a lot of movies in the theater and I can confidently say, I’ve never seen or heard anything like this!

Hihihi, all of a sudden I have this idea in my head of all these people sitting in the theater ready to watch the "world premiere" of the u2 3d movie and then the screen rolls up and out walk u2 ready to perform a show.
Don't ask
Doesn't get more (live and) 3D than that, though.

I've been to other film festivals, and if Sundance is done the same way, someone will come out and introduce the film. If cast members/the director are present, they are introduced beforehand. After the film, there might be an interview/questions from the audience. Or the cast members might just bow and wave.

wolf Q said:Going up there tomorrow...not sure how early I should go. Any ideas? I don't have tickets to the show, just hoping.
Hi -- my suggestion would be to get up there at least three hours early. ordinarily, they open up a waiting list two hours before the screening time. although i've heard that there may not be a waiting list for this one -- because tickets are in such high demand. You should definitely at least get to the Eccles Theatre and check it out. I have tickets to the midnight screening, but I'm going over early to see if there's a possibility for 9:45pm and to check out the scene.
Good luck to everyone going -- and all the info I have received says that the band will be there to at least introduce the film. Not sure about Larry/Adam -- but Bono and Edge for sure! So even if you don't get tickets to the film -- maybe you can catch them heading into the theatre?!?

Wow, what a dream indeed!
And I imagine the line up for the U2 3D shows across the nation being similar to the GA line ups before concerts. De ja vu! It's heavenly!

We're going into a totally different direction.
Fans will hear the difference.
It will be real molten metal.
It will be a disco record.
Edge is on fire.
Edge has to re-string his guitars.

Sundancing in the Dark -- Blackout Kills Parties
Posted Jan 19th 2008 12:40AM by TMZ Staff
Tons of huge stars are partying at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah right now -- but they're all gettin' down in the dark!
We just got word that a major power outage in the city has turned the lights out on Main Street. Spies inside several parties including the Hard Rock Hotel Flaunt Magazine party tell us stars like Brittany Murphy, Paris Hilton and Mos Def are standing around in total darkness while the city figures out how to get the lights back on.
Bummer!

The big rumor going around Sundance is that U2 is holding a private concert (possibly tonight after the premiere of U2 3D at the Eccles). It’s the hottest ticket/invite of the festival, only problem is, it doesn’t exist - or so say the publicists behind the film. I have heard that U2 is having a small private party (possibly at Ciseros) and while no musical set is planned, Bono and crew might very well play a few songs, but that isn’t on the official plans.
