Someone had a question about the movie in IMAX. Let me clarify for you. The movie is being shown on IMAX screens, however the movie is NOT filmed in IMAX. They are just showing the regular movie on the bigger screen, so it was not optimized to take advantage of IMAX. They have an IMAX at my local theater and I checked into it before going.

WhatFurrer, The same guy from work that I keep talking about borrowed laserdisk copies of the "original" versions and turned them into DVD. He likes those versions better than the "special edition" DVD trilogy he bought. So it can be done. Good luck!

Good clarification. IMAX is a complete seperate filming process. There is some sort of "large format" conversion that they do, but my best guess is that it is similar to the idea of upconverting DVDs for HD displays. It still isn't true HD, but is better than leaving them at standard DVD resolution. With the IMAX conversions, they reprint the film after it has been, for a lack of better word, upconverted.
I am sure that someone here will correct me with the actual terms and process, but I am just going for the conceptual idea of what I think it is.

All hail Penny Arcade's Swipe at Lucas.
In link form due to some harsh written language.

Nah, just P.O.'d that he added some bad CG to a "classic" and a big part of a lot of childhoods... the fans have said they'd like the opportunity to buy the original movies and Lucas has metaphorically peed on them. Without them, Star Wars would have stayed on the bottom shelf with Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers. The fanaticism, not Lucas' will, made the B-grade 70s space movie into a blockbuster.
Like Michael Curtiz reissuing Casablanca with the ending he always wanted - the Bergman becomes a stripper ending - that he couldn't make at the time because of morality censors at WB.

100% agree with Bren... doesn't make much sense to me that they won't run a DVD set of the un-remade org 3.
But they can leave in the remastered audio track.

On a semi-related topic, could this project finally be near filming? Maybe the 10th time is the charm.
