A new concert movie featuring footage from the Irish supergroup’s most recent South American dates will be the first film to be shot, posted and exhibited entirely in 3-D. A sneak peek of the untitled film, featuring the group performing SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY, was shown to distributors at the ShoWest Convention in Las Vegas earlier this week. The film will hit 3-D-capable cinemas at the end of 2007. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
April 5, 200718 yr Author HOT! U2 3D GOES TO CANNES April 05, 2007 posted by: Tassoula It was announced today in Hollywood that the much-anticipated new U2 concert documentary, U2 3D, will be screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, which begins May 16. There is no word yet on whether or not the band will attend the preview, but one has to assume due to their affection for the French Riviera, their attendance is likely. http://www.atu2.com/
May 19, 200718 yr 19.05.2007 Sound and Vision ?

And that highly recognisable members of the band's sound crew are in the house. More news tomorrow :yahoo:
May 20, 200718 yr 19.05.2007 All About The Music 'U23D' could be showing in a thousand cinemas later this year. That's according to the production team behind the 3D film who held a press conference in Cannes this afternoon. Co-directors Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, along with producers John Modell and David Modell from the production company 3ality, took the questions. While Rattle and Hum (the last time U2 featured in a cinema-release movie) had been more of a road movie, they explained, the new film is all about the music. 'It's about the performance of the band and their relationship with each other on stage and with their audience. We wanted to show how each song has an arc and the setlist has an arc and the movie shows this.' Eighteen cameras were used in the filming of multiple shows on the band's tour of South America last year. The editing is still taking place but the final film is expected to be between 80 and 90 minutes in length. At one show in Chile, the crew only filmed Larry on drums for the whole show - another night was a 'phantom shoot', homing in on the band close-up, but with no audience in the venue. The production team are predicting that the film could change the face of music videos. '3D is now digital and and it's going to start to change music videos. And when you no longer need the glasses, then it will really take off." Catherine Owens apologised that the band were unable to get to the press conference as their plane had been delayed.'They're really sorry about it and they're going to make it up to everyone - they even had their guitars with them.'
May 20, 200718 yr 19.05.2007 Cannes Gets Vertigo Film fans in Cannes got a surprise tonight, when U2 played a two-song set outside the Palais des Festivals, minutes before the screening of the new 3D movie. Arriving to the incandescent flash of the massed ranks of the paparazzi, band and film director Catherine Owens left their car to stroll the red carpet into the Palais, the centre of the film festival. To the unrestrained delight of hundreds of fans who had turned up on a hunch they might be in for something special, the band then climbed a stage and turned in blistering live versions of Vertigo and Streets. Speaking in French, Bono wished a happy 60th birthday to the Festival. Word had got out during the day that the band might be doing more than walking the red carpet to the premiere - hundreds of fans had turned up during the evening, chanting and unfurling banners. After the performance the band headed inside for the screening. More news and photos on the way. YRZ4B-vdmpA 1FHgjUBL9kk
