Here’s some news for all those of you out there to see Star Wars in 3D. The first movie in the George Lucas sci-fi saga (not the first made mind you) is going to be hitting cinemas February 10th 2012. Now, I assume this is a US release date and I’d very much hope that the UK gets it around the same time but for now, here’s the official press release which comes from Deadline.
Don’t forget the Star Wars Sixtilogy or whatever you want to call it ( I believe it’s called the Complete Saga) is released November this year and you can pre-order your copy here.
Thanks to Olly Moss for the awesome poster!
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (March 3, 2011) – Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date – February 10, 2012! Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a “galaxy far, far away,” Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga’s most stunning and spectacular sequences – from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi. Supervised by Industrial Light & Magic, the meticulous conversion is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological considerations and artistic intentions.
