"Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" is getting the VIP treatment when it comes to its 3-D conversion.
The flick is due to be re-released in theaters on February 10, 2012 in a new 3-D print, and George Lucas isn't skimping when it comes to making sure the transition is done right. According to Deadline, Lucasfilm is teaming up with Prime Focus, the VFX company behind "Tron: Legacy's" 3-D components, to prepare "The Phantom Menace" for its theatrical re-release.
“It was incredibly important to me that we have the technology, the resources and the time to do this right,” Lucas said in a statement. “I’m very happy with the results I’ve been seeing.”
Take those 3-D glasses off and join us after the jump, where you'll find out what movie has Brian Cranston as its villain, how Craig Robinson is spending his hiatus from "The Office," and whether the long-anticipated "Fraggle Rock" movie is coming any time soon.
It's been suspected, it's been rumored, and it's been wisely deduced. Now, it's official: Joseph Gordon-Levitt admits that he's playing Cobra Commander in the "G.I. Joe" movie.
