17th July 2006 ZETA MINOR NEWS There's a new review on the site today! It's of the next Doctor Who DVD , The Hand of Fear, which is being released by 2 Entertain next week. Click on the sleeve image, right, or here for the review. The disc's Incoming entry can be found here. Speaking of Incoming, please have a look at the list if you haven't done so recently. Dozens of new titles have been added in the last week or so - there's something to interest everyone! As usual, my thanks go to Ceri and Ben for their sterling contributions. Incoming is rapidly shaping up to be one of the most useful Region 2 DVD resources on the net, and it's thanks in no small part to their continued hard work. DVD NEWS

IMAX NEWS
The film, which comes from the producers of an earlier IMAX hit, The Polar Express, will be presented in 3D format at the IMAX. Writer / producer John A. Davis comments: "IMAX 3D has the power and depth to engage audiences in a unique way, which works perfectly for a story like this, where you want to leave the real world behind and follow this ten-year-old kid underground into the ant colony or through the wilds of his own front lawn. Part of his adventure is seeing things he’s never seen before and seeing familiar things from a whole new perspective, and we’d love for audiences to take that amazing journey with him.” The film, which features the voices of Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell and Lily Tomlin, will open at the IMAX on August the 4th (the same time as the normal 35mm version hits ordinary cinemas). Tickets will go on sale later this month. Last week's Zeta Minor News can be viewed here. Previous Zeta Minor News entries can viewed here. |
