Jennifer Lopez Working On 3D Concert Film: DANCE AGAIN

After the successes of Katy Perry's and Justin Bieber's 3D concert movies (with liberal backstage access), Jennifer Lopez is looking to tap the same barrel.

DANCE AGAIN will apparently take us through Lopez's last few years including her AMERICAN IDOL appearances, filming, music and Marc Anthony issues - in other words, doing just what Katy Perry did, bringing her personal life (Russell Brand) up on the big screen.

I am a huge fan of the genre. Personal matters aside, the music, emotion and dazzling 3D that has been displayed thus far with this type of concert movie never fails to amaze. For me, it all started with U2 3D.

The current craze for 3D dance movies further underscore the power of 3D to portray emotion in dance and bring us into the action (3ality Technica - STEP UP REVOLUTION; Cameron Pace Group - STEP UP 3D).

I'll let you know when we get more word, whose working on it (3D crew or if it's a conversion) and a release date for the production.

Jon M. Chu Directing Justin Bieber's New 3D Feature Film

Not totally a surprise and quite frankly a good selection for the upcoming 3D feature film for Justin Bieber. STEP UP 3D's director Jon M. Chu has been selected to direct the much talked about Bieber biopic (however short it is) about how he has arrived at the place he is in today.

Bieber's August 31 concert in NYC will be shot in 3D for inclusion in the movie which will also include behind the scenes footage (which I am assuming was shot in 2D and will need to be converted). Knowing Chu however, he will want to shoot as much as possible in native 3D.



I have seen STEP UP 3D and it certainly shows you that it was shot in native 3D - there are no layering effects and Chu used backgrounds and the environment very effectively in some shots to bring out the beauty of 3D. Sure, parts were a bit cheesy as I am sure the Bieber movie will be but overall the 3D was nicely done.

I am feeling a bit better now about the whole project. Chu can bring the right combination to light for a successful film. I will try to keep an open mind for it. I will try very HARD.
