[edit] DVD

Has anyone heard any further info about a DVD release? I know that the producer originally said that it wasn't going to be released on DVD, but I find that a little hard to believe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.30.8 (talk) 17:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Director Catherine Owens stated that she wants to release the film exclusively in a 3-D format. It's not that there are no plans to release it on DVD, but there are no plans to release it on DVD as a 2-D film. Since a 3-D home video is not yet possible, the film is not planned to be released outside of theaters until such a format becomes available. –Dream out loud (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] future film tag

Please stop removing the future film tag from the article. The fact that the article states it is an upcoming film is irrelevent. The tag is still appropriate for use, as all other future films are tagged with this template regardless of whether the article states it is an upcoming film or not - • The Giant Puffin • 10:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

That is not a screen cap from U2 3D that is clearly from their Live 8 preformance. 2 ways to know, Bono is wearing a jean jacket because Paul McCartney stole his leather one before the show. And the screen is a solid screen. U2s Vertigo tour set up used spaced LED like screens, not solid. It needs to be changed back to the screen cap from the trailer that simply says U2 3D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.34.133 (talk) 05:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] songs

http://www.imax.com/minnesota/films/u23d.htm That has some songs not listed in the article, more than 2 others as the article says.--64.161.57.81 (talk) 20:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work...

Well done to User:Dream out loud for continuing to maintain and building this article to a high standard – others should be thanked too, but mostly DOL. Also, the consistent use of in-line cites is a great example for the rest of wikipedia. Nice one. --Merbabu (talk) 04:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate the recognition. This article has sure come a long way since I first created it in April 2007 (link). I really hope to get this article to GA-status soon, and eventually turn it into a featured article. I've covered just about every topic related to the film in the article, except for its reception, which anyone is welcome to do. –Dream out loud (talk) 05:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2D version

I was at IMAX Melbourne yesterday to see U2 3D. We were told that the 3D projector wasn't working and that the film would be shown in 2D instead. So I, along with about 150 others, watched the movie in a normal 2D format, so obviously a 2D version exists. I don't know how this info would fit into the article itself, but it at least lets you know that the film is available in 2D. Joelster (talk)

Every source I've read states that the film was only released in 3-D, and there is no 2-D version available. I'm not doubting that what you say isn't true, however based on all the sources, I've yet to see any mention of the film in 2-D aside from the first half of the film editing process. If you can find an article, press release, or some other source thats states that there is a 2-D version, which may be used when 3-D theater equipment is not properly working, let me know and I'll look into it. Unfortunately, without any sources I can't implement that into the article at all as per WP:OR. –Dream out loud (talk) 04:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I kinda knew that. But I though I may as well let you know. Joelster (talk) 04:37, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I'll make a post about this on a U2 forum and see if anyone else has information about this and can possibly refer me to a source. –Dream out loud (talk) 20:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
