I just had a press release show up here regarding Technicolor's new
film based 3D system to offer an alternative to having to switch to
an all digital format for cinema's that want to show the current crop
of 3D features. They are also going to be using circ. polarizers for
their glasses as well, both for the better quality of extinction with
their over/under system, and to also be compatable with everyone
else so that you can use glasses left over from a DigCin showing.
Knowing how slack the theater owners are about keeping the
glasses clean between shows, I'd be inclined to just "invest" in
a perm. pair if I were a regular theater goer, especially now as
there's going to be a min. of at least 19, 3D features per year for
at least the next 5 years. And who knows, maybe they will start
to re-issue "classics" in 3D... I can see it now, "Driving Miss
Daisy, and The Color Purple, in 3D"...
