U2 3D Release Set
Concert film coming in January.
by IGN Staff

October 29, 2007 - U2 3D, a digital 3-D concert film by world famous Irish rock band U2, is coming to theaters in January.

According to Variety, National Geographic Cinema Ventures has acquired the worldwide distribution rights to the forthcoming flick. The movie, a 3ality Digital production, will only be screened in 3-D theaters.

Directors Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington put the film together from more than 700 hours of footage they shot of the band performing seven South American shows during their Vertigo tour.

A rough cut of the movie was screened to rave reviews last spring at Cannes, and exhibitors were recently given an extended preview at the ShowEast trade show in Orlando.

"Digital 3-D is a new cinema medium that truly allows moviegoers to immerse themselves in the experience, energy and emotion of being in a prime seat at a U2 concert," 3ality Digital CEO Sandy Climan said.

When the project was first announced, a live via sattellite 3-D concert performance was planned to preceed the film on its opening night. It isn't mentioned in today's report, so that may or may not still be in the cards -- we'll keep you posted.

IMAX you say???

Well i think i might be traveling to the city alot while its showing

 

[Alisaura]

OMG, at last!!!

There is an IMAX in Melbourne, at the museum... although a while ago I read that it was going to other 3D-capable cinemas, and not IMAX. From memory, you could do a search for cinema locations that support that digital 3ality technology or whatever it is, and there are apparently loads in Melbourne. IMAX apparently isn't digital...?

Imax recently started implementing digital projectors, and they do some digital re-mastering of films. I'd be surprised if a lot of museums show it, because their films tend to be nature-oriented.

 

[Lobe]

Aww!


Come'er

Thanks

It has to be an extraordinary sensation wtaching the boys and feel like they're coming out of the screen....

"U2's concert film 'U2 3D' will be released in late January in 3D only in the US."

NME was wrong about the Spice Girls thing though, so I don't know if it's the best source...

they are wrong.

I posted that link before - also in this thread.

The official press release says "worldwide" and it says in Imax, RealD and other 3D-theaters.
