In California, we are waiting for T2 3D to come to our
Universal Studios park in 1999. Before Spiderman opens,
in Las Vegas there will be "The Lost M Adventure" from
Keith Melton (director of "Pirates" for Busch Entertainment).
Later this year, the M&M's Characters will star in the brand's
first feature film when this new 3D movie attraction opens at the
Las Vegas M&M's WORLD store (from Landmark
Entertainment, the CGI work is by Will Vinton Studios).

Also plenty of Large Format 3D Movies coming.
Only two Large Format (IMAX) 3D films were released in
1997. In 1998, we are being treated to three new films. The
first film was Mark Twainís America from Sony Pictures Classics,
it opened for July 4th. The second film, Encounter in The Third
Dimension (an Iwerks co-production with nWave
Pictures) was scheduled to be released this month.

The final new 3D film for 1998 is IMAX Corporationís T-REX:
Back to the Cretaceous, which opens October 9th. Not to worry,
because there are still plenty of new titles in the works:

GALAPAGOS: The Enchanted Voyage, being done in
honor and memory of Noel Archambault.
CYBERWORLD
SIEGFRIED & ROY - THE MAGIC BOX
MEMORIES: The Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber
URSA MAJOR
DIMENSION DETECTIVE
SPACE STATION 3D
THE BEAST
GULLIVERíS TRAVELS
STAR TREK 3D (has been put on hold)

Thanks for the time,
