3-D Is Coming

Odeon cinema group has refused to show Disney’s latest 3D movie, Alice in Wonderland, at its theatres in Ireland, Italy and the UK, because the film will be out on DVD soon.

Odeon objects to Walt Disney’s decision to release the film on DVD just 12 weeks after it is first shown in theatres. The usual period between cinema and DVD release is 17 weeks.

Today Sony announced a new $200 Blu-ray player, the BDP-S470, that will be capable of handling 3-D discs with a firmware update available this summer.

Burberry is set to live stream its fall runway show in 3-D in New York, Paris, Dubai and Tokyo, WWD reports.

To be produced by Brian Grazer, the movie will be released in 2012 in 3-D.

It will open on its new release date of January 14, 2010.

Tonight’s Grammy Awards (8pm ET/PT) will show a never-before-seen 3-D film created for Jackson’s environmentally conscious tune “Earth Song.” That short film, which requires special 3-D glasses (available at Target outlets), was supposed to have made its debut in London during the ill-fated “This Is It” concerts.
