Three weeks after construction began on central Ohio's first giant-screen , 3-D movie theater, COSI officials confirmed plans for the area's second such theater.

Ohio's Center for Science and Industry yesterday awarded a contract to Iwerks Entertainment of Burbank, Calif., to build a 400-seat , 3-D theater that is to open when the science museum moves to its riverfront home in late 1999.

The theater is to be capable of showing 2-D and 3-D films, the latter to patrons who wear polarized goggles that are intended to make movie images take on three dimensions.  Daily shows are planned for a theater with steeply pitched chairs facing a screen that's 61 feet high and 80 feet wide.

Iwerks' selection comes weeks after Marcus Theatres of Milwaukee announced plans to build an Imax 3-D theater as part of a 16-screen cineplex at Crosswoods Center, I-270 at N. High Street on the far north side.  The Imax theater is to open by Memorial Day 1998.
