Just read this today. It's not directly related to the film, but interesting none-the-less. The biggest clue is the caption to the photo.

LIVE concerts and sporting events will soon be shown in 3D in cinemas, with the technology due to be demonstrated to the public for the first time next year.

Major musical acts like U2 and big sporting events such as the AFL Grand Final are contenders for live 3D broadcasts.

The world’s biggest provider of digital 3D technology, Real D, is negotiating with parties including Irish supergroup U2 and 3ality Digital Systems to broadcast the first ever live 3D concert.

“You will see it very shortly,” Real D president Joshua Greer told AdelaideNow.

“We’ll start Beta testing some of this technology early in 2008.”

Live 3D broadcasts require theatres to be equipped with a digital projector upgraded for 3D as well as a satellite dish.

There are 19 digital theatres in Australia capable of 3D projection, including one at Marion Megaplex, although few are currently believed to have satellite dish capabilities.

“This gives you the most up-close, intimate view, so it’s actually better than going to the concert in a lot of ways," Greer said.

"For audiences it’s a really interesting way to get closer to your favourite bands than you could ever get before and I think for the bands, the possibility of being able to play a venue and suddenly turn on another million seats is a pretty powerful (incentive) as well.”

Greer hinted the first such live 3D broadcast could be by U2 to promote the forthcoming release of U2 3D, a 92-minute concert film shot over seven dates in South America in 2006.

It’s billed as the first live action film to be shot, edited and shown entirely in 3D.

“Say U2 decided to do a one night show to kick off the movie and they wanted to broadcast a live concert,” he said.

“That may be in one venue that could be broadcast to any one of our theatres and patrons (would pay) for a special one-night live (experience) kind of like what they’re doing with opera.”

The New York Metropolitan Opera has been pioneering the use of digital projection and transmission and have broadcast numerous performances live in high definition to a number of countries.

Palace Nova will screen a series of Met Opera performances in high definition (not 3D) throughout December to March, although time differences mean the screenings will be on delay.

On December 7, Cinema Augusta in Port Augusta will screen a live broadcast The Australian Ballet’s opulent production of The Nutcracker.

Greer said Real D was examining a number of sporting and theatrical events to determine which ones were the most suitable for broadcasting live in 3D.

“We’ve looked at sports and alternative content and we’re working very closely to work out what the most appropriate first test of that will be,” he said.


So Adelaide might be getting the film too.

Yep, seems to be IMAX is in the run for broadcasts too after all. That's very good news, meaning that almost anyone of us can watch the movie in his or her own country.

Can't wait!

Not really. Sounds way too abstract to me.

Reckon they're just bigging it up with bluster then?

posted by yeah (Member) on 2007-12-05 10:28 am quote

Actually Joshua Greer only explains the technical process IF U2 would decide to do a promo-concert.
The article makes a "hint for U2 concert" of it.

If Greer had said "Say the Beatles decided to reunite", the article would have a "hint for Beatles reunion"

my $0,02 of course

"I think the music is much better than the musician, but also the audience is as much applauding itself as us. One of the things people forget about these large concerts is that the audience have heard the records, it knows the songs from the radio and the music has become part of their lives. When they hear those songs their own selves are caught up in them and they are in some way applauding the connection." - Bonno, June 1985
