Natty Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 An article I just noticed that my bf wrote on theforce.net mentions that episode:2 is gonna be shown at IMAX theatres, but even after ringing him asking where he got his infor from he won't tell me, which makes me think he's crapping on again which really irritates me. Annnnnnnyways, has anyone else heard about this or knows where there's a site that actually has it confirmed? There's nothing on the IMAX website which is why I have my doubts over what he says is true- not that he lies he just exagerates which I should be used to by now. I'd just love to see a more official source of info than obviously by a fan coz anyone can say Fox confirmed that AOTC will be shown at IMAX theatres blah blah blah but not have a link or source of info to back the claims up (trust me if it ends up not being true I'll smack him one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Sorry Natty, I also only found the article on theforce.net you mention. I haven't found any other source to confirm this. It would be awesome though if Episode II will be released for IMAX screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 I'm glad it's not just me then, oh well if it ends up being false, I know who to blame and personally kill and trust me I will, very slowly and painfully too I might add:D The only other thing I can think of is if it's true, perhaps FOX are keeping it a secret to surprise everyone. My bf is a DVD distributer and does have a few contacts with movie companies such as FOX, Paramount etc, so there is a chance one of his contacts at FOX told him, but of course he will die a very slow and painful death if it's not true, not to mention the amount of abusive emails he'll most likely get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norin Radd Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Well, I've never seen an IMAX film:( , but I've heard about them. So far, the only report I've seen is that one on Force.net. We shall see. Natty, get the torture chamber ready, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Ah isn't love grand? I'd be awesome though to have EP II digitally pojected as an IMAX movie. I adored the digital version, so clear, sharp. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebelwerfer_ Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 sorry, this would never happen, they would have to re-shoot the entire movie using special panoramic cameras and it would cost a fortune given that all the actors would sign to do it.

Kryllith Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Maybe, maybe not. Fantasia II was shown on both IMAX and non-IMAX screens. Granted, it's probably easier to make the transition through the animated medium, but since AotC's is done digitally... *shrug* It might not be quite as good as it would be if it were originally designed for the IMAX, but it still might be interesting to see.

Natty Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Beauty and the Beast was shown at IMAX during the start of the year, and that was only a cartoon and if I remember, Fantasia was as well, the special edition it was. Also just recently I can't remember what it was called, but my parents went to see something at IMAX and now it's on TV here in Aus, I'll know it if I actually bother to look at the IMAX website. Given the technology that's around these days, I wouldn't think it would be too hard to make movies into IMAX format or whatever it's called. The only thing my bf did say was that Fox/Lucas want AOTC to be the biggest movie of 2002 and to beat Spiderman, that sounds like a load of crap and I think he made that statement up Nevermind, like I said if it ends up being false then yes... I know who to blame and kill slowly and painfully, and I'll take requests or ideas on how I could possibly kill him slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exar Kun II Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Well Natty, if you really want thim to suffer, might I suggest tying him down and then playing Olivia-Newton John songs over and over and over. He'll be screaming in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Om Exar Kun II that is so inhuman!!! I mean beat the guy to death, yeah sure. I mean make hundred of small incisions with surgical blades while he's tied down, yeah sure. Make him listen to Britney Spears all day long, yeah sure. Electrocute him in all the most sensitive places, yeah sure. Go medieval on his ass, yeah sure... but Olivia Newton John??? The sheer inhumanity of it!!! Emperor's bones it is unbearable the thought of it!!! j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natty Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 I'm suuuuuuuuuuure I'll think of some way to get back at him I quite like the idea of playing Olivia Newton-John though, could play Michael Jackson to him too or make him look at recent pictures of Michael Jackson, maybe I could find some half naked pictures too... oh ewwwwwwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 you could... *Mike Meyers Scotsman accent* Kick him in the goonies or whip out your BMF purple lightsaber and scare the bejeezus outta him... ooh evil idea... Make him listen to New Kids on the Block 24/7 for like a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 I spoke to him last night and pointed out a lot of people on the Internet think he's full of crap He said hes spoken to people at FOX recently since he distributed FOX DVD's (he's in the DVD industry) and they've been talking about it. Mind you all this info is from the Australian point of view so what he's told me doesn't neceserally apply to UK/America or wherever else. He's said that the most likely date is gonna be in September which is Aussie school holidays, although FOX are now working on promotion ideas, and also to set final details up with IMAX. There's some confidential stuff which he's told me, which I've promised not to tell, obviously if it gets out over the net he's gonna blame me so yeah it looks like it will be likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
