You can see 'Gemini Man' in 120 fps or 4K, but not both
Ang Lee wants people to see his latest movie, Gemini Man, in 3D at 4K resolution and 120 frames per second. But it'll be a tough ask to watch the Will Smith thriller that way if you're in the US -- it seems no American theaters will project it in the director's intended format.

Trips to the movies are just the worst, with exorbitant prices, endless trailers, bad seats and, of course, the other people. Attendances in the UK are flat and dwindling in the US as more folks choose to stay at home. As gimmicks like 3D fizzle, the cinema industry may be waking up to the fact that it needs to up its game -- or become second fiddle to Netflix. Which is probably why a British cinema chain decided to team up with Dolby to revive a once-loved "Cathedral of the movies."
Cine-tal develops Dolby 3D Color Processor
Don't look now, but we've got yet another reason to talk about 3D. Cine-tal Systems has recently announced that it has conjured up "customized, image processing technology for Dolby Laboratories that facilitates the playback of 3D movies using a Dolby 3D Digital Cinema process while they are in production." Put simply, the technology is designed for use in movie studios for handling "post production operations such as color grading and screenings" on stereoscopic 3D films. Moreover, the system ensures color accuracy so that what's seen in the lab is what's seen in theaters. Is 2008 really shaping up to be the breakout year for 3D, or are we just hallucinating?[Via AboutProjectors]
