STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE 3D Release Date Has Been Set
The first of the Star Wars 3D movies has officially be given its release date! And it's the one most Star Wars fans really don't care for... Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox will release the movie on February 10, 2012. As much as I hated this movie, I might actually end up seeing it in 3D. It will be very hard to ignore. That's one thing I hate about being a hardcore Star Wars fan--I keep spending money on the franchise. What do you all think?
Here's the official press release:
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.
