U2's 3D film set to be released

National Geographic set to release film

U2's concert film 'U2 3D' will be released in late January in 3D only in the US.

The film was shot in South America during the band's 'Vertigo' tour and will be released by National Geographic Film Ventures.

The concert film was produced by 3ality Digital and directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington.

Owens has been U2's visual content director for more than 15 years, while Pellington directed the band's 'One' video.

yayayayaayayayayayyyayayayayayaaa

I'm excited can you tell?

OK, I'm quite excited that it will be released, but I'm concerned about NG.

Let me tell you: I was in a school in a shantytown of Lima (Peru) last April. Conditions were quite appalling: the pupils and teachers had nearly no means to get and give normal education. A few years earlier, some archaeologists found some very important Inca mummies at the site. They uncovered everything and of course, needed to remove some buildings and other facilities at the site. When everything was done, the mummies were flown to the States and the poor people had to pay for the excavations. A few months later, National Geographic covered these archeological discoveries in an extensive article. We spoke to the people in the shantytown in Lima and they were completely shocked by the fact that NG covered the whole process without in fact telling the complete story. Those poor people had to pay for excavations of their mummies which were subsequently, in fact, stolen. Luckily they could save one or two of them, but all the others are now somewhere in the United States. So, by hearing their story, I am seriously questioning the moral standards of NG. Who knows what has happened elsewhere?

Being a U2 fan, a band with high moral standards, I regret them cooperating with NG. Sorry, but my experiences in that shantytown were so intense that I feel obliged to tell this.

January can't get here soon enough!

charbono · 11-18-2007, 04:07 AM

Only in the US ?!?!?!

How is that good news???

Despite the fact that some of the audience shots were recorded at the first Melbourne show in Australia....

I have been waiting eagerly for this since I first heard about it a year ago. I will be bitterly disappointed if it doesn't open in Australia.

stagman · 11-18-2007, 05:45 AM

This is seriously retarted if only the yanks get to see this. It's meant to be such an awesome show with cutting edge technology in the visuals for the movie.. How dare U2 management or whoever owns the rights to this movie only show it in the US.

charbono and myself have rarelry been on here as you can see from our registered date and number of posts.. says something does'nt it that we both reply to this thread

Vincent Vega · 11-18-2007, 07:28 AM

According to U2.com it's a worldwide start. And I hope so as well.

Why is there a need for this attitude?
The person was simply expressing an experience and an opinion.

It's a shame that those things took place, and I for one appreciate the information.

last unicorn · 01-07-2008, 03:16 AM

Calm down, people. It's going to released worldwide.

RavenBlue · 01-09-2008, 02:37 PM

Excellent. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it when it comes to Canuckia!
