JoeyN Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Taken from Digital Bits Morning everyone! Some interesting news for you Star Wars fans today. Remember how we said (on Tuesday) that James Cameron and George Lucas were going to be part of a digital 3-D projection presentation at ShoWest this week? Well, it happened yesterday. Joseph Kleiman of the World Enteractive was there and posted a report on his site. Joining Cameron and Lucas on stage were filmmakers Robert Zemeckis, Robert Rodriguez and Randall Kleiser, along with Doug Darrow, Business Development Manager for TI DLP Cinema. During the presentation, Lucas announced his plans to re-release the Star Wars Trilogy in 3-D for the original film's 30th anniversary in 2007.

JoeyN Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Also every following year another SW film will be release in 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Ka-CHING! Lucas, if anything, knows how to keep that SW Cash Cow going! Hell, I would too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Somehow I get this sinking feeling every time Lucas discusses any Trilogy tinkering. Like suddenly there will be this extra bit where Greedo fires 3-4 shots into the audience before Han whacks him, or a new scene where Jabba offers the camera some pancakes in 3-D or something. I just want my originals back, don't care about 3-D Why not make a new feature in 3-D that's built that way from the ground up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 People have joked that one day we won't need physical actors. Is George trying to make the 3D models look real, like the Final Fantasy movie tried to do? Or will it be more cartoony? If he tries to make it look real, that will be very interesting to see if he can achieve something that no one has yet done. Imagine a film world where age doesn't matter? Wow.

Graeme Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Umm, by 3D and think they mean with the 3D glasses, not CGI 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 It is very much a glasses affair actually (the type with polarized lenses), so you needn't worry that he's gone and done something radical with Star Wars again. There were ghosting issues with the demonstrations at ShoWest according to a pocket of audience members. The process is specifically for DLP equipped screenings.
