 "Comin At Ya!" is being distributed by Rhino's home video dept,
 and will be presented in full color anaglyph 3-D. Dimension Three
 is in charge of the 3-D transfer to anaglyph, and has a still from
 the DVD on their website. http://www.3dcompany.com/news.html
 ..while you're there, check out the nice anaglyph screen shots from
 the film "Jaws 3-D". (Which is to air in Poland)
 Rhino home Video is also preparing Arch Obler's "The Bubble"
 for a DVD release, but no firm release date has been set. Ditto
 for Obler's last 3-D film "Domo Arigato", which is currently
 being planned for VHS only.
 Universal has been releasing their horror classics on DVD and
 have been using DVD's 'second layer' to provide extras like
 alternate versions, specials, etc.. along with the film. I'm hoping
 they provide a 3-D version of "Creature from the Black Lagoon"
 as well, which is unofficially slated for a release late this year.
 (And "Creature.." was shot in B&W, so we wouldn't have to
 deal with the side effects of 'full color' anaglyph 3-D conversions.)

Greg,

Good and bad news. Good that they are releasing a movie in 3-D on DVD but bad 
that it's anaglyph. Maybe I will be proved wrong but, field sequential is the 
only good 3-D I have seen on video. It's also bad that they picked such an 
awful movie for the first 3-D DVD release.
