It was revealed last year that Warner Brothers was converting the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz to 3D, and last month a date was announced for the IMAX 3D re-release of the movie.

To bring it all together a trailer has now been released for the special one-week event coming this September, which will see Dorothy, Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion revisiting the silver screen in a way they never have before.

You can check it out below.

Joseph Kosinski‘s Oblivion is no ordinary small sci-fi film. In fact it is so big that it could fit an IMAX screen. While Oblivion has been making its marketing campaign run over at SXSW and WonderCon, the film will be making a big debut over at the LA Times’ Hero Complex Film Festival. The film will be presented in its IMAX format and Kosinski and film star Tom Cruise will be there to attend a very exclusive Q&A after the event. Hit the jump for more info.

The interactive Q&A will be moderated by Times film writer Rebecca Keegan at New York City’s AMC Loews 34th Street 14 on Monday, April 15, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

I have seen the future, and it plays at 48 frames per second. It may not currently be without notable flaws, but technological revolutions seldom begin as such.

This week I saw a Digital IMAX projection of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in HFR. HFR (High Frame Rate) is a marketing term for digital video projected at 48 fps (frames per second), exactly twice the current film frame rate standard of 24 fps.

As some have accurately criticized, to the unaccustomed eye this has the tendency of making the film look like a 70’s BBC TV drama or an old soap opera (that’s because rather than using film, pre-HDTV era soap operas were acquired using economically efficient video cameras which captured at a rate of 60 interlaced fields per second, or the equivalent of 30 frames per second).

During scenes populated mostly by CGI characters I often felt I was watching a cutscene from a fantasy videogame. The high frame rate also appears to reveal more potential imperfections, particularly in scenes involving actors. At times Ian Holm‘s (older Bilbo Baggins) face looked so waxy and dull I thought his makeup was applied by morticians. Makeup artists are going to have to be more stringent than ever in the HFR world. In fact, I’d say the majority of criticism attributed to the “eerie” look of this new process is an indication that all filmmaking disciplines will need to reinvent themselves to meet the challenge of the medium.

Can you believe it has been 20 years since Aladdin first entered our lives? The film was an absolute sensation, garnering much critical and financial success. After two decades I thought it would be “soaring good fun” to review the influence of this brand in the Disney universe.

Superman is about to go where many have gone before, into post-conversion IMAX and 3D. Yes, WB has confirmed that Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel will go through the insane process of making the film fit for IMAX screens and make sure that he will pop out at you while doing it. Only problem is that you will have to wear those annoying glasses.

So not only will Man of Steel have darker tones, but it will also have dark glasses you must look into while watching the movie. It’s not a completely surprising move given how invested studios are into this 3D hype. But there is an audience for this format and as long as there is an audience for it, studios will follow it.
