Imax, DreamWorks Plan 3-D Version of Animated ‘Shrek’
Theater owner Imax Corp. and film studio DreamWorks SKG on Wednesday said they plan to show a three-dimensional version of the upcoming animated film “Shrek” in Imax’s large-screen venues.
The agreement reflects Imax’s efforts to expand the types of films shown in its theaters.
“Shrek,” about an old ogre who tries to save his swamp from being overrun by a group of annoying fairy-tale creatures, features the voices of top comedians such as Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, as well as actors Cameron Diaz and Linda Hunt.
DreamWorks plans to release a two-dimensional version in mainstream theaters in May 2001, and the special Imax 3-D version should hit Imax theaters in December 2001.
