This summer, teenage girls everywhere are going to get their eyeballs almost literally f*cked out of their sockets. As if Robert Pattinson’s hair weren’t ridiculously big enough, Summit Entertainment announced today that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will be hitting IMAX as well as conventional theaters come JUNE 30th, 2010. Though it was shot using regular cameras, the David Slade-directed flick will be digitally re-mastered for the “Ultimate IMAX Experience”.
Seems like every movie is getting the IMAX treatment nowadays, so it’s no huge deal that TWILIGHT is jumping on the bandwagon – but I have to wonder if the series, which has a particularly cheap, bland atmosphere, will really benefit from the upgrade. Of course, the real reason for this is to charge a few extra bucks, but as the films are made with reasonable budgets, they’re already making tons of bank. Do we really need to see the lame sparkling on a 50 foot high screen?
In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
I’m on the edge of my seat! Guess I should move back some, I’ve got plenty of room…
