The first one, I saw properly recently (correct widescreen ratio, Director’s Edition, etc), No.4 was tedious environmentally-friendly nonsense that garnered a ton of press at the time and a huge audience, but by the time No.5 came round, no-one cared anymore, no-one went to see it, and I only later saw it on DVD. For more information and rules go to: Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Director’s Cut is easily the best of the first six Star Trek movies.

“Star Trek” will be shown at Mary Pickford Theatre, 36850 Pickfair St., Cathedral City in the Barco Escape three-screen format. “You can start to embed the technology into the storytelling and … bringing that story to life in a way that you just can’t get anywhere else,” said Adam Cassels, in charge of marketing for D’Place Entertainment. It could be released later this year.Īnd Cross Creek Pictures, known for “Black Swan” and “Black Mass” have agreed to develop movies in Barco Escape by next year. Many other projects are also being financed and greenlit to be made using the new multi-screen format. The movie is currently in post production and stars Josh Hartnett and Mira Sorvino. "6 Below" directed by Scott Waugh, known for “Act of Valor,” and “Need for Speed,” will be the first movie shot entirely using the three-screens. The three-screen format debuted in 2014 with “The Maze Runner." Since then, Barco Escape creators have been working with filmmakers to create new content for the wide format. “It’s a perspective that you just can’t get with a single screen,” Rubio said. In addition to the main projector housed at the back of the theater, there are two smaller projectors that hang from the ceiling above the seats that work in sync with the main projector to showcase the extra footage. “We hope … there will be one in every town.”
“It’s a three-screen immersive experience that essentially will draw the guest into the movie experience,” he said. While Mary Pickford is part of an exclusive club for now, Damon Rubio, president of D’Place Entertainment, the new management company for Mary Pickford Theatre, hopes the technology becomes as commonplace as IMAX and paves the way for the future of movies.
“This premium format dramatically expands the width of the viewing plane, giving filmmakers an innovative new tool with which to tell stories and audiences an enhanced new way to experience cinema," said "Star Trek Beyond" producer and Bad Robot president J.J. While most of the film will be shown on the center screen, 22 minutes of the movie will utilize all three screens providing exclusive footage not available on the single screen format. What was especially intriguing was in some cases being able to see the same action from different viewpoints – each one on a different screen.īarco partnered with the "Star Trek" filmmakers to specifically create sequences for the three screens. There have been times when I’m watching a movie and I wonder what’s going on just outside the main shot. Watching that particular footage spread out on three screens did create an initial “Wow!” moment as you were able to look around and get a panoramic view of the action in front of you.
