RoboCop To Bust Your Criminal Behind In 3-D

The RoboCop remake could bring Detroit's cyborg police brutality right to the tip of your nose in 3-D, according to hints from MGM chairperson Mary Parent. Why is this the most excellent awesomeness? Because the remake is going to be ridiculous and 3-D will only heighten the whole experience when RoboCop throws bad guys at your face. We only hope they let original RoboCop scribe Ed Neumeier direct, since he's already directing Starship Troopers: Marauder. RoboCop 3-D game pic from RoboCopArchive.[Indie Wire]

Monkeybone Hatred Reigns in "Meet the Creators" Panel for "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

At the panel about Journey to the Center of the Earth, Brendan Fraser was on hand, along with producer Charlotte Huggins, "3D expert" Ed Marsh. Brendan Fraser spent most of the time extolling the virtues of James Cameron's new Fusion camera system, which they used to make this. Despite being sick, Fraser spent a lot of time talking to fans and joking about the movie, which he gleefully described like this: "They fall into a hole, they try get out of a hole — that's the movie! We needed some carnivorous plants in there to give them something to do!" Find out more. More »

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D Gives Good Monster

Late last night, a bunch of Wondercon nerds piled into a theater across from Moscone convention center to see a special 30-minute preview of four monster-packed scenes from upcoming 3D epic Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hitting theaters in July, it's the first live action 3D film done using James Cameron's new 3D camera setup. You're going to be seeing a lot of this 3D stuff over the next several years, as Cameron's new film Avatar will use it, as well as Robert "Planet Terror" Rodriguez' new movie. And, dear readers, it looks frakkin good. Read on to find out about the future of your movie-going experiences. More »

U23D Gives Us a Glimpse of the Music Video Future

If ideas from William Gibson and Cory Doctorow got mashed up, and the resulting technology was stolen by the music industry in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate their bottom line, then you'd end up with U23D, the 3D concert movie of the future. io9 took a look at U23D this week, and the experience was flashbaked into our brain matter. Find out why. More »

The Good Shit From Beowulf, In the Form of an Alliterative Poem

Beowulf, the CGI 3D monstrosity that hits theaters Friday, was originally an alliterative Old English poem. Instead of composing a review of this cinematic epic, I'll just go Old English on your ass and alliterate. Below the fold are your spoilers, in verse. More »

3D Is Yesterday's Tech All Tarted Up With Nowhere to Go

Anglo Saxon epic Beowulf hits theaters Friday in a haze of speculation. Can cutting-edge motion-capture CGI animation, combined with 3D, turn a 1000-year-old alliterative poem about a monster-slaying warrior into the awesome? The answer is no. Studios rolling out 3D stuff for 2009 like James Cameron's Avatar, and the animated Monsters vs. Aliens are hoping Beowulf will be the test case that proves 3D is back. But it's really just a sad, last-ditch effort to pull people out of 3D video game worlds by using the 3D word, and it won't work. More »
