'Nightmare' awakens for 3-D release


By Sheigh Crabtree

Sally will drop nightshade into Dr. Finkelstein's tea in 3-D come Halloween, when Walt Disney Pictures releases a digitally remastered version of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."

The digital release of the 1993 stop-motion animated classic is set for Oct. 20.

"Nightmare" marks the second digital 3-D theatrical release from Disney after "Chicken Little" did banner business last year in digital 3-D on 84 U.S. screens at 81 locations. The digital 3-D boxoffice returns outperformed the standard screenings nearly 3-to-1, according to Disney estimates.

Burton and "Nightmare" director Henry Selick are involved in the digital remastering of the stop-mo feature starring Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, and were "very cheered by the news" that Disney wanted to release the movie in 3-D, according to Selick.

"When visitors came to visit the set of 'Nightmare Before Christmas,' they were always amazed by the intricate sets and beautiful puppets -- that they actually existed in miniature," Selick said Monday. "It was disappointing to see this effect lost on film. By remastering for 3-D, I hope that some of this magic can be captured and shown to the audience in a way they've never seen before."

Selick is directing Laika Entertainment's "Coraline," starring Dakota Fanning, in Portland, Ore. "Coraline" represents the first stop-motion animated film to be shot stereoscopically with a dual digital camera rig for digital 3-D exhibition.

Disney has asked the writer and director to review "Nightmare" materials, QC shots and make appearances when the digital 3-D version of "Nightmare" premieres.

Disney's rerelease of the wicked tale represents the first 3-D feature to stake a claim on the Halloween holiday, much like Warner Bros. Pictures called dibs on the Christmas frame with the 3-D rerelease of 2004's "The Polar Express."

Disney realized that "Nightmare" would make a promising 3-D release while mastering "Chicken Little," according to Lylle Breier, Walt Disney Pictures senior vp worldwide special events.

" 'Nightmare' is a beloved movie, and we always look to what can we do with it," Breier said. "The way Tim and Henry made 'Nightmare' was so cutting edge, it seemed like the perfect film to rerelease using cutting-edge processes. We see this as a natural extension of a spectacular movie."

Burton and Selick have attended Disney's special screenings of "Nightmare" at the El Capitan in Hollywood, where movie fans annually line the block in Halloween costumes. Disneyland similarly puts on a special "Nightmare" theme park attraction every year in time for Halloween.

"Nightmare" is in the early stages of being digitally scanned and converted into 3-D by the computer-graphics group at Industrial Light + Magic. The film represents a repeat gig for ILM's Colum Slevin, who in the summer oversaw the digital remastering of "Chicken Little's" 1,400 computer-animated shots.

Execs were reluctant to discuss the design of the 3-D passive glasses that will be handed out to audiences at "Nightmare" screenings but suggested they will be appropriately ghoulish and collectible.

Domestically, "Nightmare" made $50.3 million when first released in 1993.

Sony Pictures' "Monster House," executive produced by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, is expected to be the next film to play in digital 3-D when released July 21.

Real D and Dolby Digital Cinema, both involved in the 3-D projection of "Chicken Little," did not return calls seeking comment.

I think this is very interesting I will now be officially counting the days. :)

Does this mean DVD rerelease or in Theatres? I hope theatres! What are your thoughts on this?

lots of movies are going to be reworked into 3-D, including Star Wars and Titanic

Cool.. :) I wanna see Star Wars also then.

Thanks so much for the heads up

Cool.. :) I wanna see Star Wars also then.
No you don’t.. that will be the 3rd time they re-do the originals.. and knowing George he will change stuff... lol replace something with something else.. lol ;)

This is a nice idea. I'm guessing September release?? so it's out for Halloween season...

i have never seen the nightmare before christmas sould i??

Just wondering, does this mean like CGI 3-D, or those read and blue glasses. Anyway, I seriously cannot wait for it no matter what format it is in.

3-D as in what they do in the theme parks.. the film will be re-mastered so it will be shown in such a way.. the film wont be re-animated only re-mastered. This film will be the same you grew up liking or not liking.. just with 3-D elements. (and probably not resort to Cheap 3-D tricks… )

did somebody say cheap 3-d tricks? wocka wocka

I don't get it, is'nt NbC already 3D, or was that claymation?

No you don’t.. that will be the 3rd time they re-do the originals.. and knowing George he will change stuff... lol replace something with something else.. lol

Hey, hey, hey... Don't be so negative. Who knows that he won't give both versions? Or maybe not change it at all, in consideration of those people out there that like the originals? I'm hearing that he might release a new version AND the originals together. Just wait, you might be surprised.

I like that they're doing this; hopefully they won't mess with it... @_@

The old version of the Star Wars films ARE going to be realeased this september, and he promises they are the real versions




Post 2005: Aka the year Futuremartymcfly was created

I am not entirely sure how the 3-D effect works, but it has somthing to do with the fact that they use a (thats one not two) digital projector. This has me confused, because normally when you want to do 3-D with only one projecter, you have to use the Red/Blue glasses. But this technique uses the polarized glasses found on the 3-D rides at many parks. It will be interesting to see how this works.

I don't get it, is'nt NbC already 3D, or was that claymation?
Nope.. Wallace and Gromit is an example of claymation. You can tell because it looks more like clay. (Note: Never get me started like this, I wont stop this post anytime soon :P) 'Nightmare' is stop-motion animation. They take a doll of Jack, and put him in one position, take a picture, move him slightly more, take another. Keep doing this until you have a full length movie! YAY! And if he falls over, you have to do the scene all over again! More yay! So it isnt 3D yet. It is acctually pictures of toys run together to make a movie. And Tim Burton pulls it off so nicely.. :) It takes years of modeling and making the dolls, and then making the sets, then putting them together, its a wonder how he has enough money to pay people to work that long, not to mension the time put into it. I'll end here because some people hate long posts.

I never saw Star Wars in theatres, so yeah Im gonna see it in '3D'. :)

uh question?? when does it come out?? lol

noo! i dont belive this!! stop-motion is tim fav. He always say he hate animation and computer are not his way of doing thing he like to feel his work to really make his work and make a whole other world . Even thought the nightmare before christmas was a very low buget movie it could never be replace . I will not be look as the same so many will not go to see it or buy it. At least I know many people .But the only thing that I can see doing this for is to go modern ( which is really unlikely ) or for Big money he one that is truly original :angry8:

uh question?? when does it come out?? lol

Woo! LOL I loved Nightmare b4 Christmas!!

I love Tims movie but it truly wont be the same it wont have the same feel I guess there nothing I can do I'm true to the art and that why I feel this way but I guess the kids of today are into modern 3-D animation even the old animation you dont see a lot of. :sad8:

It is not being re done in CGI, it is being made 3-d by ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) so when you see it it will be like it is really there instead of looking like a flat image. It will use special 3-d glasses, and will be the same exact movie when they are finished.

They always show him doing shows on the strip here....

lots of movies are going to be reworked into 3-D, including Star Wars and Titanic

Titanic... the movie that came out in 1997??? I DOUBT that...:@@:

That movie is a SERIOUS Drama...

I can't imagine a version where people can say:

"The ship is about to go under water and a man is falling from the ship... QUICK! put on your 3-D glasses so it can look like he's going to fall RIGHT on you..."

Well, all I know is that James Cameron is interested in it, and could also possibly be doing his next two movies, avatar and battle angel in 3-d. Maybe though, it was aliens or the terminator that will be in 3-d.




Random Fact of this Post: The first 3-D short film, Le Arrivuee du Train, was made in 1903

belive it or not? is this like a ripleys movie or somthin?

you're thinking of lance burton, the magician

I found the article I was looking for :)
http://www.infocusmag.com/05october/3d.htm
This explains how the movie will be 3-d, not to be confused with CGI

belive it or not? is this like a ripleys movie or somthin?
Yes. Its about the adventures of Robert Ripley. Jim Carrey is speculated now as Ripley. Sounds good!

Oh and thank you alot for the link to the article! It ceared so so so much up! :D

so.. is it 3d glasses or not?

Yes it will be 3-d glasses, but not the red-blue kind, and not the polarized kind. The movie will be projected on digital projectors at 48 fps, a normal movie is 24 fps. The glasses will have Lcd lenses that will become opaque. So you will only see the image in one eye at a time, but you will not notice the on and off flicker from the glasses, and seeing a different image with each eye will produce a three-dimensional image.

I could get pictures and walk throught the whole 3-d process if there is enogh demand.
