Sounds like they have no faith in it being a summer movie. Bad omen.
Dreamworks Animation's first film utilizing stereoscopic 3-D technology, MONSTERS VS. ALIENS, has been pushed ahead from May 15, 2009 to March 27, 2009. Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2) and Rob Letterman (Shark Tale) are directing this 3-D look at the 50's era of monster movies & both Dreamworks and Paramount are excited about this new technology they're using for the feature film.
"I believe that next generation 3-D will make our CG films even more special and unique," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation. "We are thrilled to have 'Monster vs. Aliens' as the first opportunity for audiences to enjoy this exciting new movie experience. Moving to a March release date, which has proven to be a great slot for family films, allows us to roll out our first 3-D project on the maximum amount of screens as the year's first big event film to hit the market in this new format."
"We are really excited to be distributing 'Monsters vs. Aliens,' the marriage of a new technology with the classic family entertainment audiences have come to expect and love from DreamWorks Animation," added Rob Moore, President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Paramount Pictures. "This new immersive 3-D experience will fully exploit the latest in exhibition technology-and with the March 27 release date, we'll be able to take full advantage by showing it in as many theaters with this advanced 3-D capability as possible."
Plot Concept: Based on the horror comicbook "Rex Havoc," which reinvents the classic '50s monster movie into an irreverent modern day action comedy about a monster hunter called upon to battle aliens who disrupt cable TV service.
MONSTERS VS. ALIENS hits theaters everywhere March 27, 2009.
