Spielberg, Katzenberg & Cameron: 3D Forum in January 2008
Looks like we have more to look forward to in January of the new year than just U2's new 3D movie.
Spielberg, Katzenberg & Cameron (It doesn't get any bigger than that) are hosting a forum for filmmakers about the potential of 3D and further opportunities that exist in January, 2008.
I expect the forum to be full of surprises and potential announcements of rumored and future projects. Pragmatically, there will be discussion about how it is impossible for pirates to camcorder a 3D movie and how that alone will save the industry boatloads of cash. Gaming tie-ins, theater conversion rates, higher ticket prices, etc will be the talk of the table.
I love how the big guys stick together even though there are obviously competitive juices flowing (remember Katzenberg sliding back the release date of Monsters vs. Aliens due to Cameron's insistance of a Memorial Day release of Avatar?). This goes to show you that while business is business, a united front is needed to effect change and change we are definitely seeing. For the better I might add.
I will have updates for you from this forum as I receive them!
