U2 3D is the first live-action movie to be shot, produced, and screened exclusively with digital 3-D technology. The film is composed of footage from several shows from U2's Vertigo Tour in 2006. It is the band's second movie, after 1988's Rattle and Hum. It will be released in Australia on April 10th.
U2 3D puts viewers within the pulsing energy of a live U2 stadium concert. Marrying innovative digital 3D imagery and 5.1 Surround Sound, it creates an immersive theatrical experience unlike any 3D or concert film that has come before. Shot in South America during the `Vertigo` tour, U2 3D continues the band’s use of technology to create exceptional multi sensory experiences.
"Bono wanted to go somewhere magical" with the creation of "U2 3D", says director Catherine Owens; he was seeking an intensity the already ecstatic feelings evoked by U2's live concerts.
The film, primarily directed by Irish artist Catherine Owens, and Mark Pellington, who co-directed the live shoot and provided invaluable creative support throughout post-production, sets out to capture the band's relationship with each other and the resonant response of their fans.
The first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production, the film was brought to life by 3ality Digital, who shot over 100 hours of footage with the largest collection of 3D camera technology ever used on a single project.
The trailer for U2 3D is below:
In the film which runs for 85 minutes, the band plays an 11-song set, returns to the stage for a two-song encore, and returns to the stage a final time to perform one more song while the end credits roll.
