Cinema Blend have got the scoop from
The Hollywood Reporter than the Jules Verne classic sci-fi novel
Journey to the Centre of the Earth is set to receive yet another big screen adaptation, this time specifically made for Real-3D! I have no idea what on Earth Real-3D is, so i'm going to let Cinema Blend give us more on the project...
Apparently theyre an IMAX 3-D competitor. Its a little bit newer technology, one which can project both 2D and 3D using a single digital projector and a special liquid-crystal screen placed in front of the projector to polarize the pictures. The effect is supposed to be fairly similar to the one you get from IMAX 3-D, only a little bit better. Journey 3-D will use the special cameras James Cameron developed to shoot his 3-D documentaries Ghosts of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep. If you saw either of those in a 3-D theater, then you know what a different experience it is than the three or four minutes of 3-D you get in movies like, say, Superman Returns. Its really impressive. Imagine how much more impressive it will be on a real feature film, and not just an underwater documentary. The movie will apparently be titled
Journey 3-D and will star
Brendan Fraser in the lead role along with child star
Josh Hutcherson. I love the 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne story with
Pat Boon and the awesome
James Mason, and the idea of it being re-made with 3D technology does get me slightly giddy. I like the choice of Fraser too, he worked really well in
The Mummy and an adventure movie role along the same lines is certainly welcomed by me. Like I say I'm a little dumb when it comes to 3D so I don't know if this will be released in worldwide theatres of just conventional one's next summer. Cinema Blend say that this movie will give us a nice taste of what is to come with
James Cameron'sAvatar scheduled for 2009 which will be worth the ticket price alone! source -
