Har det officiellt meddelat att Star Wars Ep VII kommer att vara i 3D?

Nej, det har inte officiellt bekräftats, inte har någon sådan indikation givits. Jag har gått igenom pressmeddelanden, fanwebbplatser, wikipedia, officiella webbplatser och så, och det finns inget annat än produktionsdatum. Men jag antar att de verkligen skulle släppa den i 3D, eftersom de flesta stora budgetfilmer är dessa dagar.

3D has become ubiquitous for most blockbusters, and next month’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens is no exception. Between 2D and 3D, 70MM IMAX and standard, there are a multitude of different ways to be able to experience the movie.

Så det finns tre versioner av den nya Star Wars-filmen: 2D, standard 3D och 70MM IMAX 3D

Enligt slashfilm.com , direktör J.J. Abrams sköt bara en sekvens i Force Awakens på 70mm IMAX filmlager , resten sköts på 35mm film och i en intervju hävdade han

When I was watching the reels in 3D, there were a number of shots — and I know this sounds insane — that I hadn’t understood in the three-dimensional space quite the way I did when I saw them in 3D. I actually felt that there were things that were playing better in 3D. I had never felt that before. And if people have access to a theater that has laser projection, it is shockingly better.

Webbplatsen Tech Insider rekommenderar fans att titta på 3D-version, men bara om biografen rymmer 70MM IMAX-versionen

Unless you're seeing this on a true IMAX screen and in 70mm (one of these theaters), go with the 2D tickets.

Wikipedia informerar om att filmen släpptes i Nordamerika den 18 december 2015 i 4 134 teatrar varav ....
