With the dawning of 3-D movies and entertainment, studios are looking to promote their pictures in new and exciting ways — ways that connect with movie goers and expand the 3-D experience beyond the theater.
“Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” is the third installment of the “Ice Age” film series and will be released in RealD (digital 3-D) in theaters nationwide. Produced by Virtual Images, the poster-sized displays utilize a unique, high-tech 3-D technology that produces images of remarkable depth and clarity.
“When studios want to make an impact and draw viewers to the theater, our 3-D effects pack a punch and resonate with movie-goers,” said Dave Corey, general manager of Virtual Images. “Just as 3-D is the latest revolution in film making, our unique and innovative technologies can be used to tell a 3-D story to consumers outside of the theater.”
With more than 15 years experience connecting a brand’s message to 3-D, Virtual Images dominates the 3-D and entertainment markets — helping to promote some of the highest grossing movie titles, such as “Transformers,” “Batman,” “Star Trek,” “Harry Potter” and “Iron Man.”
“Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” ultra 3-D movie displays are currently in high-traffic theaters across the United States. The movie opens nationwide July 1st, 2009. For more information on “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,” visit http://www.iceage3.com.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
