In an attempt to heighten the movie-goers experince, Lucasfilm, the movie production company behind the Star Wars trilogies as well as the Indiana Jones trilogy, during a press-release yesterday, announced that, like the second episode of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Attack of the Clones, the third film will be recorded in a format never previously attempted. Episode II was recorded entirely digitally, never seeing a frame of film until it reached the theaters, ensuring the highest possible quality on DVDs. Episode III was filmed in an entirely new method: Brainwaves. "What we're hoping for is that whenever you remember something, it's always better, or worse, than it really was. The feeling is heightened." said producer Rick McCallum. George Lucas, the head honcho at Lucasfilm, added, "We're always on the cutting edge. I strive for the best possible theater experience. What we did in [Episode] II, recording digitally, was a successful attempt at retaining quality. The problem we had was finding a digital source that was fast enough and high-quality enough to store it. Brainwaves, on the other hand, is just a few electrical signals that, with a little change, can make you remember the love scene being, say, ten times as romantic as it really was, or the epic battle sequence being ten times as epic." The most difficult thing that Lucasfilm had to overcome was a way to broadcast the film to other brains. Many theaters do not yet have the technology capable of doing this. Ben Burtt, the editor of the film, as well as the sound director stated, "We realize fully that some theaters cannot broadcast brainwave patterns yet, so we will also print it on traditional film. It will, of course, lose a lot of the feeling that one would experience from the real thing, but it's still pretty epic. Oh yeah." The movie will be released in May 2005. 10333
