'U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.' Bono

U2 3D Live-Action 3D Concert Movie…

The wait is over. The new album from U2, no line on the horizon, has arrived. The album, which features 11 brand new songs from Bono and company, has garnered rave reviews and is easily the most anticipated release of the year. Just Get It...!

U2 3D is a 2008 concert film featuring Irish rock band U2 performing in Buenos Aires during the Vertigo Tour in 2006. U2 art director Catherine Owens made her film directorial debut, with the help of co-director Mark Pellington, to create the first live-action film shot, produced, and screened exclusively with both 3-D and digital cinema technology.

With the release of No Line On The Horizon there has been renewed interest in this film. Following the 1988 rockumentary Rattle and Hum, it became U2's second theatrically released film. Although the film is set in Buenos Aires, footage from nine concerts were shot in five different cities, using as many as 18 cameras at a time, and were edited together to create a concert film featuring 14 songs.

The U2 3d project was created to experiment with a new type of 3-D film technology, released by 3ality Digital in 2003. The film was praised for its 3-D technology and innovation. After its preview screening at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, the film held its premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and was later shown at over 600 theaters internationally following its wide release in February 2008.
