Dawn of the Dead - the great shocking and unsettling original horror movie from George A. Romero is making it's way back to theatres in a suprising new stereoscopic 3-D re-release from In-Three.
They are the same production company currently at work in bringing the Star Wars series back in the same format. New Amsterdam Entertainment are the instigators behind the re-release.
The treatment is expected to take around a year, with the film possibly back in theatres (hopefully with a large media buzz though that seems unlikely) in 2009.
Up until now, only Tim Burton's 2-D animated film A Nightmare Before Christmas has been given this kind of treatment and re-release both in 2006 (grossing $8.6 million!!) and in 2007, with a further re-release expected from Disney this year and next.
There are currently just over 1,000 3-D ready digital screens in the U.S. and an awful lot more is expected before the end of the decade as movies like James Cameron's sci-fi spectacular Avatar are relying on more screens being provided for it's huge 3-D release in December 09.
Weird as hell choice of film and hardly one that is commercially viable these days you would think but there you go, i'm not the suit in charge. Does anyone else not think that this low budget horror might actually look WORSE in 3-D? (that's not a criticism of the film, I know it sounds like one - but it ain't).
Wouldn't it be far cheaper (it can cost $100,000 per minute of film to render a 3-D image) and painless to just re-release it in more theatres anyway during a slow month (January?). Are that many more people really going to venture out to the theatre to see this in a gimmick format?

Šta kažete na ovo?
Kako se uopšte pravi tri de slika od nečega što je dva de? To me vazda zanimalo. Nekako mi logično zvuči da da bi nešto bilo u 3D moraš da ga i snimiš tako. No, time se bave znatno pametniji ljudi od mene, pa da ih pustimo da rade svoj posao. Što se filma tiče, kako će sve to da izgleda možemo samo da bacamo pasulj. Lično mnogo više volim da vidim OVAKO nešto u tri dimenzije umjesto Rodrigezovih djetinjastih djetinjarija za djecu. Svaki film sa zombijima u tri dimenzije može da bude samo izvanredno iskustvo, a kod Zore to treba pomnožiti sa tri, zbog akcionih scena na početku i na kraju. Čovječe, zamisli da se nađeš u ONOME! Oko tebe se krljaju zombiji, jedu crijeva, pucnjava, raznesene glave... Fascinantno!
Zdruge strane, ni ovaj obični dva de snimak filma nije baš nešto posebno :(
Mislim da je tehnologija konverzije u tome sto se film prebaci u kompjuter koji onda prepoznaje i izdvaja "planove" (sad sam izmislio rec), a zatim generise dva snimka sa pravilno smaknutim planovima, popunjavajuci delove slike koji nedostaju onim sto je u nekom drugom frejmu. Ne znam koliko sam bio jasan. Poenta je da je ovo mnogo lakse uraditi ako je kamera staticna, i ako se pozadina ne menja previse. Mislim da je zato i odabrana Zora.
