Sound Off: 'Episode I: The Phantom Menace' in 3D - Your Thoughts?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... (actually, it was 1999), George Lucas released Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and now it's back, telling the origin of young Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. There's pod racing, Sith Lords, lightsaber battles, space battles, and now its been converted to 3D and re-released in theaters again. So how is this newest Star Wars update? As worthwhile of an experience as its been hyped up to be? How is the 3D? Does it even look good? Once you've seen it, post a comment below with your own thoughts on Phantom Menace in 3D.

Watch: New Trailer for Drafthouse's 'Comin' At Ya! 3D' Restoration
It's Back! It's Bigger! It's Better! And it's... Comin' At Ya! Get your very first look at the brand new official trailer for Drafthouse Films' Comin' At Ya! 3D restoration that will be playing in 3D in Texas theaters this month. The film is an indie spaghetti western from 1981 developed in 3D starring Tony Anthony, directed by Ferdinando Baldi. Our trailer is, unfortunately, in 2D, but you'll still get the idea from all the footage. This certainly looks like a lot of classic western, cheesy 3D fun. Its now been fully restored and is "the kind of experience you can only get in a theater!" Brand new official trailer and poster for this re-release below.

Prepare for Katy Perry to Come at You in 3D for a New Concert Film
After Paramount Pictures came up with the box office record holder for a concert film when Justin Bieber: Never Say Never in 3D grossed $73 million, it's surprising there wasn't in influx of more 3D concert films. However, maybe since the "Glee" concert movie didn't do all that well, it's just a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of success. Either way, Paramount is ready to gamble on a concert film all over again as THR has word that the studio is looking to put together a 3D concert film for the chart-topping pop singer and recent actress Katy Perry. However, no director is on board and no other details are available at this time. Read on!

AMC Running Special Family-Oriented 'Phantom Menace' 3D Events
"Now this is pod racing!" If it's not obvious the demographic they're aiming for with that photo, it will be by the end of this. AMC has announced that 10 of their movie theaters around the US will be hosting special events for the release of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in 3D starting February 10th, though the events will be on Saturday, the 11th. While I don't expect every Star Wars fan to be there that weekend, these events are family-focused and include special Anakin Skywalker Podracer 3D glasses (seen above) with every ticket, as well as collectible toys and other fun fan events all day long. Star Wars is back!

Watch: Brief Teaser Trailer for 3D Re-Release of Pixar's 'Finding Nemo'
After the stunning box office success of Disney's 3D theatrical re-release of The Lion King, the House of Mouse was eager to get other classics back into theaters for some double dip action. In addition to the return of 2D animated films like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid planned for re-release, Pixar's hit films Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo were also going to get the 3D theatrical re-release treatment, and now we have a brief teaser trailer for the latter underwater adventure. Obviously, this trailer is more effective in 3D, but still brings back fond memories of Marlin and Dory scouring the sea for Nemo.

Paramount Releasing Cameron-Produced 3D Cirque du Soleil Movie
It looks like Paramount caught the Cameron bug. They got a taste of the buzz he brings with Titanic in 3D and now they want more. A press release today announces that Paramount will be the worldwide distributor of a Cirque du Soleil 3D feature film entitled Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away, written & directed by Andrew Adamson (Shrek, Shrek 2, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian) and executive produced by James Cameron, with 3D mastermind Vince Pace himself overseeing the "stereo production aspect." Which means this is going to look amazing in 3D, that's the big selling point.

Darth Maul Gets a Boring New 'Phantom Menace' 3D Motion Poster
"Die, Jedi, die!" Experience him firing up his lightsaber for the first time in 3D. Holy sh*t it's Darth Maul and he's lighting up his badass dual, red Sith lightsaber! Awesome! Wait, haven't we seen this before, like back in 1999, plus an entire fight scene, one of the highlights of Phantom Menace. Yes indeed, and since we can't run 3D through the web, this is just a plain ole motion poster. Thanks to a tip from Recent Posters on Vimeo we've got a look at a motion poster for the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It's the same official poster we've seen before, just animated with Darth Maul firing up. Have fun!

CGI Yoda Gets 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace' 3D Poster
Whether you want it or not, the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is hitting theaters in February. However, with George Lucas' desire to keep changing his films years after completion, this release features at least one element not yet seen on the big screen in The Phantom Menace: a CGI Yoda replacing the puppet initially used when the film was released in 1999. The animated version of the character was used in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, but has only been seen on the Blu-Ray release of Episode I until this Russian poster showed up reminding us of Lucas' meddling ways.

Review: 'Hugo' is an Impassioned Work of Art By a Master Filmmaker
Hugo is arguably director Martin Scorsese's most personal work to date, a love letter to the pioneers of Golden Age filmmaking and a beautifully constructed - in 3D, no less - tale of the magic in the art that has long since believed lost. Scorsese brushes every stroke of this work with care and admiration, even when the film is more slapstick kiddie fare than the real passion he allows to bleed through in Hugo's last half. Always exquisite but never gaudy, the film, and its filmmaker, realizes the settings and story with child-like wonder to the point where even when the mystery has been unfolded, the magic is still allowed to awe us.

Watch: James Cameron Discusses 3D in 'Hugo' with Martin Scorsese
"Your film is about the magic of cinema, and the movie is magical to watch." Great quote. THR has posted an entertaining new video featuring two legendary filmmakers, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese, together talking about using 3D in Scorsese's new film Hugo, out in theaters this Thanksgiving. The video is a two-minute follow-up to a full-on Q&A that Scorsese & Cameron recently gave for the film at a screening in Hollywood. There's a full transcript of questions on THR, but the video features some of the better quotes from the two. This is Scorsese's first foray into 3D, but it looks like he has even impressed Cameron. Enjoy!
