District 10? That's what the director referred to in an interview
regarding a sequel. District 10 is where the "prawns" were sent.
Dunno the name. But he did promise to come back to help him. Plus they
left over a million "prawns" behind. ;-)
Hollywood is going goo-goo over 3D. They have financing to gear up
over
2000 theaters with digital for 3D (my local theater already has it).
But I saw the Avatar trailer in 3D when I saw "Final Destination 3D"
and
was unimpressed. And I found "Final Desitination" to be gimmicky 3D
though that was fine given the genre and franchise. Now Hollywood
wants
you to buy a new TV for 3D. Sorry, I'll pass. It is mostly a gimmick.
Until holographic TV's come out I'm afraid 3D via multicolor glasses
is just for Disney films, kid flicks and the Super Bowl.
Well, maybe NASCAR too.
