Mars Imax 3D

 

Ok, maybe not
Well, it seems as if the New York Post might have been wrong in saying that Jim Cameron's MARS IMAX 3D movie is dead. Thanks to Tourdemars.


From the from Boston.com.

"Director James Cameron declared himself king of the world when he won Oscars for "Titanic" and now he wants to be king of Mars, going so far as to experience weightlessness to prepare for two Red Planet movie adventures he is co-writing and producing." 10.8.00

Oh no!
Say it ain't so Jim, say it ain't so. Thanks goes to Tourdemars.


From the New York Post.

...besides "Dark Angel," Cameron had also been expected to produce a miniseries for Fox based on the best-selling "Mars" trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. But he has abandoned the project, explaining that "these books would not be well served in television and the story was too big a meal for a feature film." 8.30.00

Cinescape
Jim Cameron's been talking about working on his various Mars projects while promoting his upcoming series DARK ANGEL. From the Sept. Oct. 2000 issue of CINESCAPE magazine:

QUESTION: What else are you working on now?

ANSWER: ...I've been working on this Mars project which has turned into quite a big thing, because it's now become simultaneously a six hour miniseries, an IMAX-3D short feature and a novel. 8.26.00

Entertainment Weekly
This tiny little snippit appears in this week's (week of Mar 24) EW:

James Cameron <snip> has a hush-hush Mars project in the planning stages at one of the major studios. 3.21.00

FIRST LOOK
August 30, 1999

Jim Cameron has released several nice, almost hi-res, images from his upcoming mini-series and IMAX movie. The story for this feature apparently follows mans earliest attempts to land upon the red planet. The images, from left to right, include;

  • The Mars Rover and Astronaut Habitat
    The Mars Rover
  • The Mars Rover Parked next to the MARS Lander
  • The Mars Rover making a rocket-propelled leap
  • The Mars Lander

Although the movie(s) don't come out for another TWO years it's very nice of Jim Cameron to "wet" out apetites with these awesome images.

FYI, I pulled the above logo off of the Mars Rover Image. The information included on the logo seems to say that the title of the IMAX movie is MARS IMAX 3D, Not JIM CAMERON'S MARS as I have guessed.
