Lucas & Cameron to Highlight Digital & 3D

Texas Instruments today announced it will unveil the future of digital cinema and 3D movies at ShoWest, the largest annual convention for the motion picture industry, taking place March 14 - 17 in Las Vegas, NV. Texas Instruments has planned a landmark demonstration with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and Academy Award®-winning director James Cameron on Thursday, March 17 to showcase 3D theatrical entertainment with DLP Cinema(TM) technology. TI will for the fourth consecutive year serve as the corporate sponsor of ShoWest.

The new 3D experience enabled by DLP Cinema(TM) projectors will be demonstrated and discussed by Lucas and Cameron, both pioneers in digital movie making. A Christie CP2000 DLP Cinema(TM) projector will be utilized to showcase scenes in 3D from Fox's Star Wars: Episode IV, Disney's Aliens of the Deep and many other movies from various genres, including live action and animation. DLP Cinema(TM) projectors provide exhibitors with the first ever opportunity to give moviegoers a pure 3D experience with simple adjustments to a standard installed DLP Cinema(TM) projector. Moviegoers watching a 3D movie projected with DLP Cinema(TM) technology can immerse themselves in an unparalleled viewing experience with incredible color reproduction and 3D imaging.

"With digital 3D projection, we will be entering a new age of cinema. Audiences will be seeing something which was never technically possible before the age of digital cinema -- a stunning visual experience which 'turbocharges' the viewing of the biggest, must-see movies," said Academy Award®-winner James Cameron, director of Aliens of the Deep. "The biggest action, visual effects and fantasy movies will soon be shot in 3D. And all-CG animated films can easily be converted to 3D, without additional cost if it is done as they are made. Soon audiences will associate 3D with the highest level of visual content in the market, and seek out that premium experience."

DLP Cinema(TM) technology is deployed in more than 310 theatres worldwide through manufacturers Barco, Christie Digital and NEC.

wow that would be so cool to see rots in 3d the second time

That's actually pretty cool. Thanks for posting that 🙂

Try the 523th time.... you do know this wouldn't be out anytime soon? 😛

So i think this what lucas may use to replace the star tours in disney and create a 3d simulation ride that incorpartes all 6 movies fingers crossed

It's for animated movies...not for themeparks...

IF ITS JUST ANIMATED MOVIES THEN WHY DOSE IT SAY THIS

rojector will be utilized to showcase scenes in 3D from Fox's Star Wars: Episode IV, Disney's Aliens of the Deep and many other movies including live action and animation

They still talk about movies in 3-d, not about theme parc entertainment...and let go of the caps lock...it's annoying

WOWdroolio SW in 3D..............NO, WAIT, LORD OF THE RINGS IN 3D!!!!!!!! drooliodroolio

SD, where did you find the article? Do you have a direct link?

Okay Here's a related article from thedigitalbits.com

From a press conference thing for a new Titanic DVD.

On an interesting side note, Cameron also spoke about his passion for 3-D filmmaking. He and fellow director George Lucas are spearheading an effort to get movie theaters around the world to upgrade not only to digital projection, but also to add the capability to exhibit films in 3-D format. In fact, Cameron and Lucas are hosting a demonstration of the 3-D process for theater owners at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas this week (in addition to CG-animated 3-D films, Lucas's people have reportedly developed a way to render 3-D versions of existing 2-D films). Cameron says that this is the main reason he's waited so long to begin production on his next major theatrical film - a live action version of the Japanese anime Battle Angel Alita. Cameron plans to shoot the film digitally in 3-D format. What's more, he says that Lucas and other filmmakers (like Robert Zemeckis and possibly Peter Jackson too) are also planning to shoot 3-D films in the future. They expect that the availability of good 3-D feature film content will drive interest in the 3-D experience theatrically, and that in turn could fuel demand for bringing the 3-D process into the home as well. Cameron noted that both HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc (and current DVD as well) could be adapted to deliver 3-D footage, but that the main obstacle to high-quality 3-D at home is the low refresh rate of current TV monitors. Displays offering much higher rates will be needed in the future to show flicker-free 3-D images in your living rooms.

Note the line
"in addition to CG-animated 3-D films, Lucas's people have reportedly developed a way to render 3-D versions of existing 2-D films"

So that probably explains the SW:Ep4 in 3D thing.

Also on an interesting note
"What's more, he says that Lucas and other filmmakers are also planning to shoot 3-D films in the future"

Why can't GL flip flop (on not making ep7) and make eps 7-9 in 3D in a few years down the line? Oh well.

At least GL's interested in 3D. Interesting to see what he does with it.

wow that would be wicked imagine revenge of the sith in 3d well he said that he made the film in total digital camera on the 60 minuets interview maybe that is what he is planing cause he also took the old movies and put them on digital format we could be seeing another box set here in the future a 3d box set!!!!!!! Oh and the quote was taken from comming soon.net

aotc was also shot entirely in digital.....i've always wanted 3D to make a comeback, in a new and better format.....i'm sure some people thought i was crazy when i predicted films being shown in 3D as a big groundbreaking technological leap, but here it is....i'm also pleased about surround sound in home systems (it's quadrophonic, and this time it's here to stay - most homes already have the equipment set up and ready to go, unlike in the 70's).....digital projection's pretty funky as well.....with the advent of dvd's and hi def, i'm noticing how crappy a lot of stuff looks in the cinema more and more.....i still like some films to be shot on film though.....scorsese has sworn he would never go digital, and i'm very glad about that....oh yes....

CASCADOR u do realise that it is a movie playing in a simulator and spider man is a movie in 3d with moving carrages ITS NOT REAL U KNOW.

Oh, I see you figured it out...good for you!

?

WOW an actually semi-good post from a newbie
--Checks to see if im dreaming---

I dont see what would be so cool in 3d for starwars besides the chase sequences in ESB ROTJ and AOTC.

everything is cool in 3D.....shame spykids3 had to use anaglyphic....it used to take 2 perfectly synced projectors running simultaneously to do it before, the proper way....very expensive to set up in multiple theatres for a worldwide release....

With 3D, and if done right, you get a better sense of being there and it enhances the hole experience. Some people obiviously like it more then others.

And guiro, that why you have the Imax option now a days for 3D films

Even as Rare as Imax theaters are. Eg. Polar Express in 3D

oh yeah, i'd forgotten about imax 3D....it's all the way on the other side of town though, and i'm too lazy....i want the tv to be in 3D whenever i turn it on....it will happen, oh yes, it will....

WOW "the hole experience". Dont know what starwars you saw.
