DAWN OF THE DEAD...The Romero Original...Returning Soon To Theaters...In 3-D!?!?


Merrick here...


In-Three, the same company that's working with Lucas to transform the STAR WARS films into 3-D has been commissioned convert George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD into a 3-D presentation suitable for theatrical release.


New Amsterdam Entertainment has tapped 3-D company In-Three, which will use its proprietary "dimensionalization" process to turn the 1978 indie horror flick movie into 3-D. The project is expected to be completed within the year.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

In-Three presented some 3-D footage from STAR WARS at ShoWest a few years ago. I didn't actually see it myself, but I've talked to numerous (usually picky) folks who were blown away by the process. While DAWN might be seen as an unusual choice for such treatment, the end result (technically) should be rather effective.

To date, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is the only non standard film to be fully converted and re-issued in 3-D. It'll hit theaters again next year...around the same time as DAWN, perhaps?
