Nightmare Before Xmas coming back to Theaters in 3D

[SilentBob]

Thought i would give this cool heads up to everyone. Every few weeks i get my movie schedule that keeps me updated on the coming weeks and months of movie releases. Usually get one now everytime a movie date change happens or new release is issued. Well my sister got ahold of the sheet before i left work and on the sheet was Nightmare Before Xmas. She believes it was soemtime in October (will check tomorrow) with 3D attached too it. Now i don't know if this is the crappy red/blue glasses 3D. Or a possible IMAX/Digital Theater 3D release (which are great) but never the less its coming this year.

The news of this release was actulally confirmed a few weeks back by The Hollywood Reporter (sorry to burst your bubble there, man.)

It's going to be Disney Digital 3-D in regular theaters -- the same proces they used for the 3-D engagements of Chicken Little last year. (Thankfully, too -- can you imagine how much the red/blue glasses 3-D would ruin this wonderfully stylized, darkly lit film?)

As such, it will be limited release only to theaters that have the technolegy to accomidate such a digital 3-D release; however, it should still be wide enough for everybody to see it if they're willing to look around a bit (I believe two theaters within a 40 mile radius of me got Chicken Little in this format.) Release date is October 20th, just in time for Halloween (surprise !)

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I can't wait!

Oh wow, this is some of the best news all year. I only got to see the movie once during its 1993 theatrical run. To be able to see it again, and in 3-D will just be amazing.

I'd travel up to LA for the chance to see it if there aren't any showings in San Diego.
