Appearing as part of a sextet of high-profile directors promoting 3-D and digital cinema at ShoWest on Thursday, Lucas said he hadn't yet committed to a precise schedule but hoped to have the first film ready for the 30th anniversary of the original "Star Wars" movie in 2007 and that he would then rerelease one "Star Wars" film per year in 3-D. EDITOR'S NOTE: I SAY WE GO STAND IN LINE NOW!!! (AND LOOKIE...IT DOESN'T ALL END WITH ROTS! WE GET TO BOND WITH DWEEBY STRANGERS IN LINES AT MOVIE THEATERS FOR YEARS, YET!!! OH JOY, OH BLISS!!!)
Lucas was joined by James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis, Robert Rodriguez and Randal Kleiser.
Peter Jackson joined the group via a pretaped 3-D segment. They all implored the exhibition community to invest in digital projectors, which would allow theaters to show their upcoming movies in 3-D. Cameron is in preproduction on the 3-D film "Battle Angel," planned for a 2007 release. Zemeckis has two 3-D features in production, and Rodriguez is readying "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3-D" for release in the summer.
Jackson, who is currently filming "King Kong," announced no specific 3-D plans, but according to sources he has installed a 3-D master suite in his production offices in New Zealand.
