According to Zap2it, the next movie in the Twilight saga, “Eclipse”, will get the IMAX treatment when it comes out next summer. This marks the first time that a vampire-themed movie is getting the larger than life treatment. Select scenes from the movie will be shot with IMAX cameras. The previous entry in the franchise, “New Moon”, has made almost $270 million domestically.
“Eclipse,” the third film in the series, will be shown in the giant-screen IMAX format in addition to its regular release. Both formats will open June 30.
The IMAX release of “Eclipse” will feature digitally remastered sound and images designed to fit the enormous screens of IMAX theaters.

“Twilight” the first larger than life vampire flick? I don’t think so! There was a 70mm vampire movie in the ‘80s. I can’t remember the title, but it was something set in a Northern California coastal town and featuring the vampires as a motorcycle gang. Loud, obnoxious rock music soundtrack…

D**N? TWILIGHT SUCKS!
I can’t believe anyone gives a damn about Twilight here. An IMAX-ified Twilight movie will simply expose how bad the technicals are (because Summit won’t spend any money to improve the franchise’s shortfalls).
Is this the same KingBiscuits who was recently extolling the virtues of the HELLBOY movies?
I’m not sure that “Twilight” fits the demographics of this site (though the film’s audience has expanded greatly from the first release), but it is a box office phenomenon and is therefore certainly worthy of discussion. I say this, however, as someone who has not seen either film. :)

Any movie that gets people excited about going to the movies is fine by me. The new one was laughably bad in parts, but it’s exciting seeing an opening night movie with an engaged packed house, sadly those experiences are few and far between outside of the major film festival circuit.
